Backyard Lake/Trails + Chill Home

Pet care experience

Absolutely in love with my own dog, a Boston Terrier named Frankie, who passed away earlier this year, I miss having a dog to walk around Eagle Lake with. Do you worry about your dog while it's alone at home? Do you want me to remix Disney songs to include your dogs name? Because I'll do it. I'll happily become a "Part of your (dogs) World". Happy to walk around till your pup is tired out, or just to catch up on all the latest doggo gossip, leaving your furry son/daughter relaxed while you're gone. I enjoy walking around seeing all the sights and smelling all the smells, and am an expert in picking up poop - which is a strange claim to make outside of Rover. I love dogs, and am an active sort of person. Let me entertain your pet while you're working/away, and both of you will be less stressed for it.

Maria is amazing and our dog loves staying with her. Her drop and pick up service was a huge help. Thank you!!

Maria was fantastic with my dog Cooper! Very relaxed, easy going and good engagement with my dog. She communicated with me throughout the day to keep me updated. She gave me piece of mind while we were out of town for the day!

Information Maria G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog is special needs or has medical requirements. Behavioral issues such as constant barking/extreme food motivation/destructiveness etc. This won't necessarily exclude your dog from my care, I just need to know what to expect.

A typical day

I have a completely pet-proofed finished basement stocked with toys, a comfy couch, and great wildlife views that I like to hang out in during the day. A dog-friendly lake and walking trial off my backyard make it super easy and convenient to pop outside and get some exercise in. I like to match the energy level/exercise needs of the dog I'm caring for, so activities can range from hiking Wachusett to being a chipmunk-watching couch potato.

Lucky enough to have a flexible job that allows me to set my own hours, the passing of my dog Frankie has made it so pet care seamlessly fits into my routine.
