Availability

I'm a full-time pet sitter, available to look after your pets at any time. I'm pretty quick to respond, but if I'm not getting back to you right away, chances are I'm playing with the dogs in the yard or out on a walk. I'll be sure to reach out as soon as I can. Along with dog-sitting services, I'm offering a professional grooming (bath, brush, blow dry, de-shedding , trim, styling…) service for your furry friend! If you're interested, you can book it for an additional fee ( I provide grooming services during boarding or daycare, or you can schedule it separately stats at $65 ) . Your dog will be in good hands and pampered while staying with me at my house. Since the grooming is done in a nice, comfortable home setting rather than a commercial salon, it's much friendlier and easier on the dog, reducing stress significantly. I do it throughout the day in stages, providing a more relaxed grooming experience for your beloved pet.

A Small Dog Resort – Where Your Dog Has a Vacation Too When you go on vacation, I believe your dog deserves a vacation as well. My home is designed to feel like a small dog resort — a peaceful, fun environment created especially for small dogs to feel safe, relaxed, and happy. I only accept small dogs, which allows me to create a calm and harmonious space where everyone can play comfortably and safely. Dogs here become part of the family. They spend their days socializing, playing with their friends, and enjoying the outdoors. I stay home with the dogs full-time, so they are never left alone and always have attention, supervision, and affection. We have a beautiful fenced-in yard where dogs can run and play freely. Our home is also surrounded by 100 acres of conservation land with scenic trails, where I take the dogs for walks and little adventures in nature. In the evenings, we often relax on the deck overlooking the pond — one of the dogs’ favorite moments of the day. They love sitting outside, enjoying the fresh air and peaceful views. Dogs here are never crated, always loved, and treated like special guests. I offer two services: • Boarding – a true vacation experience for your dog while you’re away. • Daycare – a fun “dog club” where small dogs come during the day to run, play, socialize, and be spoiled before heading home happy and tired. My goal is simple: to give your dog a safe, joyful, and memorable stay.

Information Maria C. would like to know about your pet

Important Information: Please let me know in advance if your pet is in need of any kind of special care. Is your pet has special preferences, habits. Anything I need to know, for me to provide the best possible care of your little ( or big) one while you are away. Your pet's well-being is my priority.

A typical day

About Me: Besides the basics, I'm experienced in giving oral medications, providing daily exercise, and caring for senior dogs. I do have Cat and Dog First Aid CPR, Dog Grooming Certification. I have experience with walking, drop-in visits, house sitting and boarding. One of my favorite things to do while I’m dog sitting is head out to trails on nature reserves since there are so many beautiful forests in this part of the state. Dog-friendly trails provide opportunities for dogs to socialize with other pups, play in nature, and run off some of that energy! I have experience with both small and large dogs and I am flexible in activity level, whether it’s a brand new puppy with lots of energy, or an old timer who loves to take it easy. I look forward to connecting with you and your dog!

Pet care experience

Welcome to my Pet Sitting Services! I've been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 10, and it's always been a passion of mine. Friends, neighbors, and family have counted on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. At home, I've got a mix of my own pets - dogs, koi, parakeets, and chickens. I love them all! if I House Sit your dog or cat I can take care of your fish or birds as a free bonus :))

Maria did an incredible job taking care of Rosie for the first time. She sent me regular updates with lots of photos and details of how they spent the day. Maria takes amazing care of the dogs she watches and gives them a really fun experience to play, go on walks, to the beach and more. Maria made me feel at ease and I know Rosie will look forward to her next visit!
