Pet care experience
Hello, I have been a dog person all my life; I grew up around different breeds, so I have plenty of experience with dogs with unique qualities / needs. I can genuinely say that dogs are my passion, I love learning from their different personalities. I am able to train your dogs with basic commands, exercise them in my back yard, take them for walks or nice hikes. I know life can get hectic at times and worrying about having to leave your pup with a stranger, shouldn't be another thing you worry about. Separation anxiety is a real thing among dogs & people. And that is exactly what I'm here for!!! I would love to take care of your fur baby while you are away! Whether it is for a night, a few days or just for a couple of hours; whatever your need is, rest assure your pup will be in great hands with someone who genuinely cares and enjoys being around dogs. I live in a house with large property, plenty of space for your pups to run around and have a great time. We also do movie nights, and indoor playtime for those doggos that prefer the chilled life :) I do have a 2-year-old fixed labrador named Luka who enjoys making new friends. He is as friendly as it gets, loves cuddles and lots of attention. I also have a 2-year-old daughter who loves doggies just like her momma. Even though their interaction will be minimal, please advise if your dog is not comfortable around children or if you are unsure of whether or not they should interact. My goal is to always have a safe environment for all!

I take my Dolly to Maria’s house for daycare during the week. I work full time, so knowing I’am leaving her in such great hands makes me feel less guilty. Dolly loves making new friends, and Luka (Maria’s dog) already became one of her coolest friends. He is such a cuddle bug. I recommend Maria 100000%. She is very caring and always keeps you updated. She is also very accomdating, as he has taken very last minute requests to watch my Dolly.
Maria is the very BEST! My boys, Hulk & Thor love staying over at her place. We have used Maria twice already; had to leave them for a long weekend and a few days over the holidays. We are so lucky to have found her. She is really great with them both. Very caring and attentive, she even taught them a few tricks. The fact that my boys got along with Maria's dog Luka was just a bonus. Those boys are trouble for sure! If you ever need to leave your pups, Maria is definitely your girl!
Maria and Luka were great with Chico, my 5 year old pitbull.. Luka and Chico connected instantly I was amazed. Maria was very attentive to Chico and sent us pics and videos through out the 3 night stay .. highly recommended
Maria is by far the best when it comes to watching Lola. The love is mutual for sure. Maria not only, genuinely cares about dogs, but she is great at training them as well. She is super responsive and involved. I highly recommend her!

I work from home most of the time, having to go into the office on random occasions; so, my availability is flexible. Full availability for weekends, overnights and/or long boarding stays. Weekly doggy daycare is also an option.
