Pet care experience

Your furbaby’s extended family!

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.

Doggy Day Care • Apr 22, 2026

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Maria and Fernando are absolutely amazing! They’ve been caring for my 4-year-old, 45 lb hound mix Titus for the past 2–3 years, and I truly couldn’t ask for a better team. Whether it’s daycare or boarding, I always know he’s safe, happy, and having the best time with his furry friends. Maria is fantastic with communication and always keeps me in the loop, and Fernando takes the best photos I love getting updates and seeing how much fun Titus is having. It really gives me peace of mind. They genuinely treat Titus like their own, and it shows in how excited he is every time he goes back. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for loving, reliable care for their fur baby!
