Availability

I can adjust my schedule to fit yours. I'm extremely flexible for whatever your needs might be. I have a part time job but work remotely from my apartment and have flexible hours. So if your dog is boarding at my apartment, I will be with them the majority of the time, most likely only leaving to run small errands.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a 600 square foot apartment that is suitable for a small dog. I would not recommend boarding a larger dog at my apartment. I live close to lots of parks and my area of town is very accommodating for dog walks throughout the neighborhood. I live with my husband and we both work from home. My husband is in and out of the apartment more often. I will be the one taking care of your pet.

Information Maria C. would like to know about your pet

I pay attention to detail and make sure that I provide your pet with everything they need. Providing a list of things you would need from me, medications, routines is always helpful. I'm good at following rules and can adjust to what your pet is accustomed to.

A typical day

A typical day would be multiple walks, cuddle sessions on the couch, playing with toys, lots of pets and love. I read the energy that your dog has and go from there. If they want to play, we'll play. If they want to relax and chill, then that's what we will do. It's a dog's world!

Dedicated and loving pet caregiver

Pet care experience

Hello! Thanks for considering me. I have been an animal lover my whole life. My first dog was with me for 18 years and was a constant companion throughout my childhood. Recently, I lost a most beloved dog in 2021, at the age of 15. She required a lot of care through her life, having a heart murmur since she was little, to stage 4 kidney disease as a senior. Balancing her daily meditations and diet with making sure she had a high quality of life, with multiple walks and sunbathing sessions, was one of the greatest joys of my life. Throughout my life, I have helped out friends and family with overnight stays, walks and boarding. Caring for animals is something I love and cherish and I would give your pet the attention, care and love it needs.

Maria is the best!! Scout is always SO happy to see her and she takes very good care of him. Such a relief to know he is in such good hands when we are away.
