I work from home and am home during the day. I can work around most situations and try to provide an environment that your dog will be most comfortable in. On a normal day, I will go to the gym and will leave for an hour or two & sometimes on the weekends , I like to get out and go for a lunch or dinner or maybe an activity of some sort but I am around the house most of the time.

Information Maria H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your dog's temperament especially with other dogs and people, their activity level, dietary needs/restrictions, and any medical issues. Please provide a schedule of when they usually eat, how much they walk and sleep. Every animal and family has their routines and preferences so the more I know about your pet, the better we tend to adjust. *Due to my ever changing kid’s schedules, I am only able to book out requests 3-4 months in advance. Repeat customers are plus as it makes for a more predictable booking schedule*

A typical day

I like to be active, go for walks & play games - fetch, puzzles, tug of war, teaching tricks, etc...anything to challenge their mind or physical body, some dogs even love our trampoline :). I also like to love on and snuggle your best friend.

Loving and reliable care

Pet care experience

Animals have always been a part my world. We had to say good goodbye to our beloved Marley dog a few years ago. He lived until he was 16 1/2! Since then, we have enjoyed taking care of other family, friends and neighbors dog - big and small, young, old, full of energy and pretty chill. I can't decide who I like the best! They are all so special and would love to be able to care for your dog and adjust my care to their needs.

Maria was great! I have a little bit older dog with a sometime problematic leg. She made sure he was happy and got the help he needed. I would book with her again!

Maria is wonderful! Frankie was well taken care of while I was on a week long vacation. He enjoyed her backyard and all the daily walks. I got frequent updates and truly appreciated her communications. Frankie had a great week and he might sleep for days from all the activity. Highly recommend Maria!

Maria was great about sending pictures and updates daily. Our dog got lots of exercise and attention while we were away. She came home happy and tired!

After a move to this part of the Twin Cities, this was our first time with Maria. We have two dogs, one of which is quiet, the other just the opposite. Maria (and her family) gave each the time and attention they needed. She also communicated with us, easing our anxiety about leaving the dogs with someone new and letting us know the days activities. She is thoughtful and caring.
