Loving Apex home-fenced large yard!

Pet care experience

We are dog lovers and recently lost both of our fur babies so we would love to channel our love for four-legged children by taking care of yours. We have a secure large fenced yard where our visiting doggies can run around and burn some energy; we also live about a mile from downtown Apex, where we all go on long walks. We would love to have your pet join us as well. I (Maria) work from home so there will be plenty of potty breaks and snuggles throughout the day. We take the safety of all pets very seriously! Every time we take them out to the backyard, we go with them to make sure we know where they are and what they are doing at all times. Your pets will be supervised at all times. Please note: - Holiday rate applies to each pet

Maria and her family took wonderful care of Ruby. She sent me daily pictures and updates of her relaxing and playing in the yard. It felt so good to know that Ruby was happy and safe.

We love how Maria kept us posted with our dog’s daily routines while she was under her care which made us feel more at ease. This is the first time we sent our dog to a sitter we didn’t know. She provided us lots of pictures and and she is wonderful at responding to your questions and concerns! Maria is super friendly and very understanding. We really appreciate her patience with our senior dog and with us altogether! Her excellent services are highly recommended!

Maria took wonderful care of Aspen, and we are extremely grateful to her and her family. She was very attentive and gave me plenty of updates and pictures!!! I can tell Aspen misses her already.

Information Maria F. would like to know about your pet

We would like to know about your pet's feeding and sleeping routine. Also, is your dog crate-trained? Our dog is not crated but we leave him in a restricted area behind a baby gate. If your dog is not created, we would do the same with your pet. To ensure they feel at home as much as possible, please bring their food, food bowl, and bed/crate.

A typical day

We have a large fenced yard that's always locked so this is a safe playground for our dog and for those we board. In the summertime we may not go for walks because the concrete is too hot and can burn the pet's paws, we will go out to the backyard every 2-3 hours and play fetch, frisbee, or simply walk around to watch/chase the birds, squirrels, and rabbits who come to visit. In the spring, fall, and winter, we take walks to downtown Apex, which is just a mile away, where us humans stop for a cup of coffee while our four-legged friends get all kinds of attention from passers-bye. I really enjoy giving my dogs a bath and I can include your pup in my dog-bathing routine if this is something that you would like. I will check with you first, though.
