I work from home and ensure that I have time in my schedule to give my own dog and the dogs I watch the needed attention and exercise. I have a flexible schedule and can take them on multiple walks a day if needed.

About Maria D.

Safety, trust & environment
I don’t have a fenced in yard, but I am diligent about taking your dog out and live in a great neighborhood to walk dogs! I don’t crate my dog but I am happy to do it if that is best for your dog. My dog, Remy, is only 8 pounds so I can only accept dogs that do well with smaller dogs. Remy does well with other dogs. He goes to other Rovers who have dogs and goes to day care occasionally. He’s a little shy so it takes a little bit to warm up but he always ends up making a friend.

Information Maria D. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know your dog’s temperament (protective of food, how they react to people on walks etc.), their normal schedule and exercise needs, how long they can be left alone and any other pertinent information to ensure your dog has the best time.
A typical day
I love going on walks with my dog around the neighborhood and playing fetch or keep away with a toy. I also like to walk around parks like reservoir. I enjoy running and although I don’t run with our small dog, if your dog is high energy and used to running with you I am also happy to take them on runs!

Pets
Trusted and reliable dog sitter!
Pet care experience
I grew up with dogs most of my life and have a dog of my own now. I’m an experienced pet sitter and have watched multiple friend’s dogs before as well as my parent’s special needs elderly dachshund/lab mix who needed extra care and attention. I also volunteer at a local dog rescue. I love all dogs and feel like I have a special bond with them! My own dog, Remy, has some separation anxiety so I know how important it is to have a communicative dog sitter you can trust.
Reviews
We recently had our dog Ruby stay with Maria, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she received! From the moment we dropped Ruby off, we knew she was in wonderful hands. Maria treated her like family, giving her plenty of love, attention, and playtime. Ruby also had a great time with Maria’s sweet little dog Remy — they became fast friends, which made us feel even more at ease. Maria kept us updated with photos and messages, which was such a thoughtful touch and let us relax knowing Ruby was happy and comfortable. It’s clear how much Maria truly loves and understands dogs. We highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and caring sitter. Ruby will definitely be excited to go back and spend more time with Maria and Remy!
Maria did an excellent job taking care of our border collie! She kept him active with plenty of walks and playtime, and sent us tons of great pictures during his stay. It was such a relief to know he was in good hands. Communication was fantastic—she checked in regularly and was super responsive. We’d absolutely book with her again!
JJ was very happy and had a great stay with Maria! She took great care of him. JJ will be back! 💕
Maria kept us up dated with photos and video. Our Yrsa looked like she really was enjoying herself. She definitely had a a good stay and we will certainly choose Maria for future boarding needs. Feel very comfortable leaving Yrsa in Maria’s care.
