For drop-ins: Along with providing walks, food, fresh water, and anything else you may need for me to do, I also include plenty of love and cuddles if that’s what your pet enjoys! When your pet stays with us, it will be a home away from home. We have a fenced in yard where they will be supervised at all times. Our cattle dog Lana is used to sharing her home with other dogs.
Home
Information Maria D. would like to know about your pet
Let me know how much to feed your pet (including if they can have treats!) and how often to let them out. Also if they go on walks or have playtime - how long and often you'd like that to be! Additionally, it's a good idea to leave the info for your preferred vet hospital in case of emergencies. Since we have a dog and two cats at home, dogs boarding with us should be good with other pets.
A typical day
When your pet stays with us, it will be a home away from home. We have a fenced in yard big enough to play fetch where they will be supervised at all times, plus trails right across from our driveway on which to go on long walks away from cars and traffic. Our cattle dog Lana is used to sharing her home with other dogs. Dogs are allowed on the couch here so they'll also get plenty of cuddle time!

Pet care experience
Hi there! I'm Maria. I’ve loved and taken care of animals of all shapes and sizes my whole life. I take care of cats, dogs, horses, chickens, and everything in between. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I live with my boyfriend Steven off a quiet dirt road in the Rio Verde foothills, with a fenced-in yard. Steven is an animal lover as well and enjoys taking care of our furry guests as much as I do We're active people and love going on long walks and exploring. If your dog is active and loves to run, explore the trails, or play an endless game of fetch, then we'll be sure to have lots of fun! Or, if you've got a senior or couch potato who wants only to venture outdoors for the necessities, you can still entrust us to brighten their day with plenty of cuddles and love as if they were our own dog. A trusted pet-sitter since the age of 10, I have experience with animals of all kinds. In addition to suburban pet-sitting, I have also farm-sat and cared for horses, chickens, barn cats and farm dogs. I have volunteered at several vet clinics, and I have also worked with goats, sheep, guinea pigs, bunnies, etc. I’m a life long equestrian with extensive horse experience, so if you need a horse sitter I am qualified for that job as well. We have 2 cats - Glitch and Desmond, who are comfortable around dogs. We also have a dog of our own - an Australian Cattle Dog named Lana who is used to being around other dogs. Animals are my life, and I cannot wait to meet your best friend!

Reviews
Maria is the best! We’ve used her several times for drop-in visits to care for our cat Oliver. She’s very responsible, responsive, sends lots of photos and always takes the time to play will Oliver to make sure he’s having fun while we are away. We can tell from her updates that Oliver really loves Maria! We highly recommend her!
We have hired Maria on several occasions to take care of our cats. Each time she has been very dependable, sends us pictures, and is an overall wonderful helper. We would definitely recommend her to help you with your pet care.
Maria was great with our dog Nutmeg and sent lots of cute pictures. It was Nutmeg’s first time away from us So we were nervous but Maria was great with her. We will definitely be using Maria as our pet sitter again.
Our dog Bailey was well cared for while staying with Maria. She sent lots of pictures and was very communicative. Would definitely use her again!
