Pet care experience

I love animals of all kinds!!

I’ve had dogs, cats, rabbits, and an assortment of other animals my whole life. I currently have a 6 year old beagle/ cathoula leopard mix, an 3 year old pembroke welsh corgi, a 16 year old American short hair cat, and a 10 year old black Bombay cat. The dogs get a daily mile long walk and all of them are spoiled rotten! I love take the dogs on trail walks and into stores that allow dogs. We have an active toddlers that loves animals just as much as I do!

Maria was a great sitter for my cats. She was timely, sent tons of pictures, and answers very quickly. I would definitely recommend Maria.

Boarding • Aug 18, 2023

Maria did an awesome job with our little Shih Tzu. She scheduled a meet-up beforehand to make sure that my dog would get along with her dogs, which went great. Each day during our vacation, she sent us two pictures to show us all the fun things that our dog was up to, which quite honestly made our day every time. She did such a great job and we are so happy we scheduled her through Rover.

Maria has worked with animals all her life, dogs, cats, and rabbits. She is a genuinely wonderful human being who will treat your pet as her own. I would trust her to watch my cats!

Maria has been around animals (not just dogs and cats) all of her life - she grew up mostly with German Shepherds, so she knows how to handle the ‘big dogs.’ She currently owns a Catahoula/Beagle rescue and a Corgi along with 2 cats. She and her rescue have taken lessons with a professional dog trainer to give her insight on how to work with a dog with ‘issues’ and he’s doing much better now. I would trust her with my fur baby.

Safety, trust & environment

In the home, I am professional and respectful while making sure your furry friend is well cared for. If boarding, We have a fenced in yard for your friend to play in while they board and they’ll love joining my “pack” while you’re away! They will have an enjoy playtime in the morning and a mile long family walk in the early evening. For days when it’s to hot or raining we play inside instead!

Pets

A typical day

Every morning starts with some time outside in the fenced in yard with a treat puzzle waiting for them when they are ready to come in. After breakfast, it’s time for play. Depending on the weather, we leave our back door open them to enjoy the deck (or if my son is sleeping, the gate will be open) so they can be inside or out depending in their preference! In the afternoon, we go on a mile long walk as a family and then dinner after settling down.

Please book with enough time to allow a meet and greet! It’s important I can see the dogs interact to know if it will be a good and safe fit. How they are around other dogs and people. If they have any reactivity issues, allergies, or things that make them anxious. It is important that they are not reactive to other dogs or cats as I have two of each in my home already. Must be good with active toddlers!
