😍 We’re a dog loving duo (mom and daughter) with big hearts and even bigger dreams of having a dog of our own one day. But since city living has turned dog ownership into a bit of a luxury, we’ve found the next best thing, being the ultimate dog sitters! Spending time with pups of all sizes and personalities feels like a daily pass to Disneyland, every month brings a new furry friend, and we’re here for it! My daughter has been campaigning hard for a dog (seriously, she's at pro-level), so getting to care for different dogs is her absolute favorite thing. We live in a cozy apartment in Leaside, surrounded by beautiful parks and green spaces, perfect for daily walks and outdoor adventures! I work full-time from home, so your pup will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. We love exploring the neighborhood together and always ensure dogs get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and safe, supervised outdoor time.

Information María C. would like to know about your pet

📝 Please share any specific needs or routines they follow, such as feeding schedules, exercise habits, or any medications they might require. I’d also love to know about their temperament, how they get along with other pets or people, and if there are any behaviors I should be aware of (like anxiety or fears). Lastly, knowing their favourite activities and treats will help me make sure they feel right at home!

A typical day

🙃 We love keeping pups active and happy! Depending on their energy, we’ll go for walks, play with toys, or do fun brain games with treats. For more relaxed dogs, we’ll enjoy cuddle time, brushing, or just chilling together. We always follow their pace to make sure they feel safe and loved.

Pet care experience

📍 Moving Update! Starting July 2026, Miranda and I will be welcoming our furry guests from our new home in Leaside (near Bayview & Eglinton). We look forward to continuing to provide the same loving, home based care and hope to see many familiar faces at our new location 🙃 _______________________________ We spoil your dog like it’s ours and keep you in the loop so you don’t get jealous 😎 🐾 We’re reliable, gentle, and patient, especially with shy or anxious pets. 🐾 We love being active and outdoors, so energetic pups are more than welcome. 🐾 We follow instructions to the letter,feeding times, meds and favorite toys 🐾 And yes, you’ll get plenty of photo updates, because who doesn’t love a good pup pic? Until we can welcome a full time fur baby of our own, we’d love to open our home and hearts to yours.

Olive had such a wonderful time with Maria and her daughter. They had a wonderful adventure in the city. I couldn’t be more happy about trusting them with my pup.

Bailey stayed with Maria and Miranda May 1-10 while we were on vacation. Being a senior dog, he was some accommodations which Maria was able to manage. Miranda did a great job at the meet and greet getting all the important info. We received several photos and updates while we were away which made leaving him much easier.
