Pet care experience

10 years of dedicated pet care!

I have 10 years of personal pet care experience. I have taken care of dogs for years, with passion and love. I previously adopted two dogs from Broward animal shelter to make them part of our loving family. I offer a safe, loving home environment with a fully fenced spacious backyard for your fur babies to run and let out their energy. As many pets have a routine, I strictly follow their feeding, potty, and medication routine if needed. Whether it’s a couple hours, to a couple days, they become my main priority when they step through the door.

Maria and her family were so sweet and comforting from the start. They took great care of Murphy and provided helpful and reassuring updates. Maria took the time to let me know how his days would look like while I was away and she showed me around the house before drop off. This was a first for Murphy and he did so well because of Maria and her lovely daughter. I would absolutely recommend them!

I had such an amazing experience with Maria D. as my dog sitter! ❤️ She was absolutely wonderful with my puppy and kept me updated every step of the way. She constantly sent me photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel like I was right there with them. I had a really bad experience with a previous sitter where my dog actually went missing on the first day of babysitting and was gone for 24 hours. 😔 Because of that experience, I was honestly nervous about trusting someone with my puppy again. But Maria completely changed that experience for me. She was caring, responsible, attentive, and made sure I always knew how my puppy was doing. Her home was beautiful, clean, and comfortable, and she was so friendly and welcoming. You can truly tell that Maria loves animals and treats them like family. 🐶❤️ I would 100% recommend booking with Maria D.! If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, communicative, and loving to watch your fur baby, she is definitely the person to choose. I will absolutely be booking with her again!

I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about this sweet woman and her daughter! They were absolutely amazing with Marlee, and I’m so grateful they were willing to take him in last minute. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. They were so loving, gentle, and caring with him, and I especially appreciated how they kept me updated throughout his entire stay. As a dog mom, that meant so much to me because I could see that he wasn’t just being watched—he was genuinely being loved and cared for. 🥹❤️🐾 Marlee was so well taken care of, and I’m truly thankful for the kindness they showed him. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was happy and comfortable while I was away. I will absolutely be booking with them again the next time I’m out of town! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and dependable to care for their fur baby. Thank you both so much for taking such wonderful care of my boy! Marlee definitely has two new friends. 🥰🐾❤️
