Information Maria & Fernando R. would like to know about your pet

Dogs have their own personalities, and I’m sure we will quickly learn about your pops works and antics! If there’s anything specific you would like to share about your dog that would help us get to know them quicker, we would love to know anything you would recommend or want to share with us.

A typical day

Your pups day will be full of playing, cuddles, and more! We have a large fenced area for plenty of outdoor running time as well as a quiet neighborhood street that we take lots of walks throughout the day as well.

Your furbaby’s extended family!

Pet care experience

Hello! I was born and raised in Colombia I have resided in Florida for the past 25 years. Dogs have been a part of my life since before I could walk! my husband and I recently moved to Maryland after falling in love with this area! I am a mother with three grown children (31, 28 and 25) and consistently had dogs in the home as they were growing up because what is a home without a furry family member in it?! My children have depended on me to care for their fur babies when they travel now, and we absolutely love it. Now that they are grown and have started developing lives of their own, we would love to fill our empty nest syndrome with your furbabies 😍 Our home is large enough for your pup to feel comfortable and we have a spacious 1 acre yard that backs up to woods so they have plenty of outdoor time as well. We look forward to meeting you and your baby and learning all about his or her quirks and personality traits that make them special to you. We can take your dog on long walks or just stay in and cuddle. Working from home, your fur baby will have plenty of attention, love and affection! Me and my husband recently relocated to the DMV area from Florida and are excited to meet you and your cute pup! We have two small dogs that would love to make a new friends. We have a large yard and a fenced off dog area so they can enjoy Offleash time as well as providing them walks around our quiet neighborhood.

Maria and Fernando really care about your pet. Our two dogs very much enjoy their place. They have an enclosed outdoor space which is a big doggie playground. We get lots of photos and communication. They understand each dog's unique personality and cater to them. I highly recommend this setting!

As always, Arlo had a great time at Maria and Fernando’s. They have a great play area for the dogs, keep the photos coming, and Arlo always comes home happy and a little tired.
