I’m a college student so my schedule is really flexible with online classes. This allows me to take your furbabies on hikes, parks, regular potty breaks, and lots of indoor playtime! As I mentioned I have a dog myself, and we live close to Bernal Heights and a couple parks so walks are always a must have to keep active and entertained:) As for drop-in services which I have been doing a lot of lately, can always work something out in terms of times!

Safety, trust & environment

At home I have all the tools necessary to attend for your pet. This includes food, multiple clean bowls, pee pads, divider/fences (to prevent accidents in places such as the kitchen) harnesses and leashes, beds, and plenty of toys!! Dogs are always welcomed in my room and can make themselves comfortable in a crate, on my bed, the couch, or a dog bed; whichever they desire! There is a yard in the back that is fenced in where they can run around or have a sunbathing session, so they are completely safe back there. Food, treats, pee pads, clean bowls, and even bath services are provided, unless there is anything specific you’d like to provide/let me know of. Finally, my dog Carter, who’s a fox terrier/chihuahua mix, enjoys company and is always ready to play!

Information Maria C. would like to know about your pet

Some information I’d like to know include: - bathroom habits (do they tend to have accidents?) - any special diets - specific items they need during their stay - how often would you like updates - and anything else you feel is important to bring up! - finally if you are a returning client of mine and might see my schedule blocked off, feel free to still reach out. sometimes I block it off to make space for regulars:)

A typical day

Activities during a typical day may include a walk to Precita Park which is only 3 blocks away where they can interact with other dogs or take a sniff at one of the many trees. If it’s a high energy type day a hike to nearby Bernal Height's will do the trick! I do have my own car so we can always drive to one of the many dog parks in the city.

Pet care experience

Hello there 👋🏾 Mission native happy to help out with your fur babies. I’ve watched over many animals including dogs, cats, and even bunnies! I’ve always helped my family take care of their pets whether it be having them come over to my home or checking up on them at theirs. I would preforming tasks such as changing their food, water, or taking them out to walk, etc. In 2019 I adopted my dog Carter from the SPCA and fell even more in love with the unconditional love and joy dogs (or any animal in general) bring into peoples lives. Your fur baby will be in caring hands and be provided with whatever they may need❤️

Maria is a great pet sitter for our cat. She gives him lots of attention and engages him with playtime and treats with each visit. She provided detailed updates and photos so we could see how much fun they were having. We really appreciate Maria's communication and thoughtful care.
