Cozy, Calm Home with Fenced Yard

Hi! I'm Maria, and I live in Carencro. I offer a cozy, peaceful home with a fully fenced yard for comfort and safety. I've had dogs my whole life, and in recent years I've been educating myself through courses and reading about canine health, training, and behavior. For over ten years, I've been a trusted caregiver for friends and family, especially for small dogs. Here's what your dog will find here: • A safe, fenced yard for quick potty breaks and sunbathing (under supervision) • A calm, chaos-free indoor environment — perfect for lap dogs, seniors, and puppies • Plenty of couch cuddles, patience, and an established routine • Dogs who need space can rest in a cozy, separate area without any pressure to play • Daily updates with photos and videos I know every dog is different, so I stick to the routine they have at home. I'd love to meet your best friend!

Maria was amazing!! I am definitely using her again and recommending her to family and friends. She sent me photos and videos everyday of our fur baby. She treated Alli as her own!!

My senior boy Duke had a great time, lots of updates and photos. He was very happy to see me when I got back, but I know he would have stayed with Maria longer if he could. 10/10

Schedule

I work 4 to 6 hours a day; the rest of the time, I am at home. I always take them out to the yard before I leave, and I make sure they have food and water. When I return, I take them out to the yard again, and we go for a walk, following our established routine.

Safety, trust & environment

They usually stay indoors, except for morning and evening walks and bathroom breaks in the fenced yard, which last approximately 30 minutes, three times a day. The dogs eat according to a schedule set by the owner, and they have the freedom to move freely around the house and lie down wherever they want. I have a medium-sized mixed-breed dog who usually ignores other dogs and sometimes plays with them if he likes them.

Pets

A typical day

We follow a schedule for walks and yard breaks; water and food are always available, unless the owner provides a specific feeding schedule. Time spent inside the house is usually free time, during which they can play or rest.
