Loving & Responsible Dog Sitting

What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my personal experience and deep understanding of what it takes to provide loving, responsible care. I’ve successfully trained two dogs of my own, so I understand the patience and attention puppies or even older dogs require. As a dog owner myself, I know the most valuable gift is peace of mind—being able to travel or be away from your furry family member, knowing they’re in a safe, caring, and attentive environment. I bring that same level of care and responsibility to every dog I look after, treating them as if they were my own.

Maria was great with courage. She was very quick to respond to my last minute booking request for a stay over the holidays and took pictures every day. Would definitely recommend and I plan on booking with them again

Maria is simply fantastic!!! I trust her 100% to take care of my two furry babies. I’ve left her my dogs in multiple occasions and it’s been excellent. She takes them for walks and plays with them!! My dogs love her. The love and passion she has for dogs is simply amazing. Highly recommend !!!!

Schedule

Pet care is naturally woven into my daily routine, as I work part-time and care for my two loving Shelties who are a big part of my life. They require regular attention, so I make sure to walk them twice a day, provide frequent playtime, and ensure they have consistent potty breaks throughout the day. My schedule allows me to be fully present for their needs, and this same care and attention extend to any dogs I look after. Whether it’s play, walks, or simply making sure they’re comfortable, pet care is truly a priority in my day-to-day life.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, I provide a safe, loving, and fun environment for pets. I have a fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy plenty of supervised exercise and playtime. My two loving and playful Shelties are great companions and will keep your fur baby active and entertained. For dogs that require specific boundaries or downtime, I can easily accommodate by crating them or using a playpen as needed. My goal is to ensure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and at ease while they’re with me.

Pets

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy and engaged with fun activities tailored to their needs and energy levels. Depending on your pet’s personality, this can include interactive playtime like fetch, tug-of-war, or exploring my fenced backyard with my two playful Shelties. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks for fresh air and exercise and providing plenty of cuddle time and affection for those who enjoy it. For mental stimulation, I can incorporate treat puzzles or basic training reinforcement to keep them entertained and sharp. My goal is to make their time with me as enjoyable and fulfilling as possible!
