Information Maria G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pets have any special things they need in order to feel more comfortable staying in my home or on walks. If they are not dog or cat friendly i unfortunately can not host them in my home due to not having the proper way of keeping my pets and your pets completely separate.

A typical day

I love to keep everyone entertained by providing tons of toys and enrichment treats like frozen kongs or wobblers .Will play out in the yard and go on long walks.

No ruff times under my woof 🐶

Pet care experience

Like your pets, I also love long walks, treats, and naps! At home, I have a super friendly, energetic pup named Stella who would love to keep your dogs company! I also have a curious little cat named Lilah who has learned to keep up with the dog life! Aside from walking and boarding, I can administer medications and take your pets to the vet or groomers. Thank you considering me and I can’t wait to meet your fur babies!

Maria is the best! She always takes such good care of our two very shy kitties and has done a great job getting them out of their shells and comfortable with her.

My dog loves her, and she takes great care of her while I'm on 12-hr shifts!
