Fellow dog whisperer :)

Pet care experience

Growing up with a plethora of various animals has taught me a lot about critter care. I’ve taken care of my own goats, sheep, horses, cats, dogs, chickens, guineas, turkeys, and plenty more. Farm life gave me experience with the circle of life, medications, tending to injuries, and much more. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to speak more about my experience or talk to a reference.

Rosie had the best time staying at the farm! She can’t wait to come back. She came home and tired and happy pup.

Maria was so good with Abe! Making sure he got all the snuggles and play time, even when he committed a heinous crime, she was still patient with his puppy nature!

Maria was wonderful with my dog, Piper. We needed a last minute sitter to watch her while we went to dinner and Maria was a great help. We would absolutely recommend her and look forward to utilizing her services in the future. 5⭐

Information Maria H. would like to know about your pet

**If you do not live in Decorah, please let me know. I book neighboring towns but I take driving costs into consideration.** Please let me know if your dog requires any special attention in regards to health issues, medication, and feeding/exercise habits. Caring for farm animals my whole life has made vet care a norm for me, so I have no issue administering medication.

A typical day

We have a pretty large yard for running around, and my two dogs love to play. When I get the chance, I love to take Greta (my Aussie) on a 2-ish mile walk around Decorah!

I’ve grown up on a hobby farm my whole life. My experience from living on a farm with plenty of animals has made me knowledgeable about many animals, but my heart pulls me to dogs the most!
