DOG LOVING FAMILY

HOUSE IN COWICHE CANYON AREA on 2 ACRES! I want to provide the best dog care service possible! My husband and I have two kids (6 and 8) who love and respect dogs both big and small! In the past we had a large dog named Cooper who was a sweet heart and the kids did great with him. Growing up I had a Yorkie named Baily, we had him from a puppy till he was elderly. Through Rover I have watched numerous different dog breeds of all sizes and ages. I have done extended boarding and short stays. Through this I gained a lot of experience for caring for an elderly dog and understand both the needs for large dogs and little dogs. I have dog-sat for family, friends, and clients on Rover for long periods and have volunteered at "North Beach Paws", an animal shelter in Ocean Shores. There I cared for puppies and elderly dogs. I believe all dogs have different personalities and needs; my goal is make the best experience for yours! If your dog has certain medications or allergies, let me know before I watch them to make sure their needs are met. Exercise is very important for a dog's health and I am committed to taking your dog on multiple walks daily! We love on an 2 acre area so we have lots of room for the dogs to run and play! We are conveniently located near the Cowiche Canyon area. I currently work at home as an Artist and was recently a Behavioral Technician. I am available week days and most weekends to watch your dog! Let me know if you have any questions feel free to message me and I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend!

Overall great experience using Maria. We had an issue with our travel plans and Maria was easy to work with to extend our care for Izzy. I appreciated the check ins and photos while we were traveling. It is comforting to find someone that will take care of your dog as well if not better than you do. We will check Maria's availability first next time we need dog boarding.

Maria (and her family) took great care of our dog, Drake, while we were out of town. We really appreciated the daily photo and video updates. While he was happy to see us upon our return, we could tell that he had a lot of fun and exercise while we were gone and would miss Maria and her dog. We would definitely let Maria watch Drake again.

Maria is great! Our dog loves her home and she is great at communicating with us. This was our second booking and we’ll use her again.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or allergies. If they resource guard please let me know ahead of time so I can accommodate them. Does your dog get along with other pups? Does your dog do well around high energy and children? Any aggression? Do they get spooked by loud noises? Let me know as much as you can about your fur-baby so I can make the best experience possible!
