Home
Information Maria D. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pup needs medication or has special needs. If there is a special diet condition. If your pup is deaf, blind or has mobility problems, I need to know. I will need you to provide proof that your dog has current vaccinations against Rabies, DHLPP, and Bordetella. Please have vaccine records on hand. Please note that bordetella vaccinations are not automatically given by most veterinarians unless requested, so you will want to double-check your paperwork prior to coming in for the evaluation. Because we are introducing your dogs to our pack all vaccinations must be present and up-to-date.

Pet care experience
My name is Maria and with my husband Humberto, my boys Vincent and Brandon and my mother Julia would love to watch your dog(s). As pet owners, we want to make sure that our furry family members are well taken care of and in us your girl or guy will find affection, fun and attention. I have had dogs all my life and taken care of friends' and family members' pets. I‘m also experienced with birds, lizards, fish, rabbits and guinea pigs. We have two Yorkshire Terriers, 9 and 6 years old, an Italian Greyhound, 11 years old, and a baby shih tzu. They are great with other dogs. Currently we only board small breed dogs under 15 pounds In addition to boarding, we offer walks and drop-in visits. I have no problem doing evening hours, so if you have to work late or attend an event you can count on me to make sure your pet is taken care of. Let our family take care of your family. **PLEASE NOTE ** - At this time we are not allowing visitors into our house. I have no problems with sending photos of the inside, but we want to stay as safe as possible. Please bring your own dog food to minimize stomach distress. Please bring the food in a resealable container and we’ll make sure that your dog feels right at home. If your pet requires medication, please bring it in a safe container and if possible in its original container from your vet. ***Pick-ups and drop-offs for boarding daily from 8:00am – 5:00pm. This is my full-time job. I am with the pups day and night. In case that I need to go out, someone in my family will be available to stay with them. Pups are never alone outdoors, never. We have several potty brakes a day. If the weather is nice, we are outside playing as much as possible. We have a fenced in yard so the pups can run and play off leash. Our house is dog friendly and they are allowed on furniture and our beds. We can accommodate a maximum of 4 dogs in a day.
Reviews

María took great care of my Coco for 9 days when I went out of the country. María provided constant feedback and pictures. Coco had a lot of fun, didn’t rush to jump on the vehicle to get back home. He was very relaxed like if he just came back from vacation too. Maria was very accommodating when I had to modify the times and dates due to airline last minute changes. I’ll bring Coco back for care in the future ❤️❤️❤️


Maria is the best!!! We just picked up our two dogs from spending a week with her and they did great. I was a bit worried about one of them because he has a health issue and needs medication, but Maria took care of it all, no problem. This was our first booking with Maria. About 10 days before our trip we did a meet and greet and the dogs took right to her. When we dropped them off for the actual boarding, they were so excited to see where they were that they just ran right to Maria and wanted to go right inside without even giving me a backwards glance. Throughout the week, Maria sent pictures and updates. And then when I picked them up, they looked clean, healthy and happy and were not desperate to leave like they have been at other places. I completely recommend Maria and will definitely be contacting her again in the future.
Wonderful! She goes the extra mile!

Maria took good care of our Denver so well. She kept us updated with pics and little notes. It’s our first time using Rover and we’re happy to have Maria as our first sitter. Thank you!
