Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and a friendly Yorkie and goldendoodle who both love to play to keep your Fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

Information Maria C. would like to know about your pet

I have experience fostering special needs and senior dogs. My own fur baby has a luxating patella I care for now that he’s young, please let me know if there is anything I should account for when taking care of your fur baby, giving any medications, supplements, avoiding jumping on and off furnitures or stairs.

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dog physically and mentally during a long stay by including fun challenges at home where they will treasure hunt or toys or any treats you’d like to give them. They will get plenty of exercise during the day, and go on long walks. Your dog will never be alone and will always have a companion to play with!

Pet care experience

I’ve had pets my entire life from hamsters, birds, turtles, cats, dogs and for the past two years I’ve started caring for others in addition to both of my boys Lucky and Blu. I have experience fostering; caring for dogs with special needs and of all different sizes and breeds. My dog is on prescribed medication food as well as daily pills, I have also had to do surgery on his leg which has led me to grow my experience caring for pets who need medication administered of have had any kind of surgery. I keep and maintain a clean environment and engagement during playtime. I enjoy long walks with my dogs and would love to do the same for others. if there are any specific care instructions I am comfortable following as I am very attentive to details. Thank you for your trust and consideration to care for your loved fur babies!

I want to say a huge thank to Maria for taking such wonderful care of my cat. Maria is very reliable, coming every day. Really appreciate how Maria gave her food, fresh water, and kept everything so clean. It gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Thank you so much.

Maria did a good job during drop in visit for my cat, gave him pills and inhaler per instructions. She sent multiple updates and photos. She’s respectful, communicative and prompt.

Maria has been caring for my two little ones for almost 3 years now, I have a shitzu and chihuahua and she is amazing with them they love her! I know I can always count on her when I am going away, I do travel a lot and she sometimes takes them for a month!
