Pet care experience

Loving reliable pet care with heart

Hi, I'm Maria. I've gotten dogs since my childhood and I love to interact with them. I have also taken care of other dogs of my relatives, neighbours or friends. If needed, I can speak with your dog in another language (Spanish, German and French) than English. If needed, I can train your dog (house training, basic commands, leash training...). Just send me a note with your request.

We got plenty of photos and videos daily. She was thorough with care for Duke and showed she knows how to handle dogs well!

Maria was incredibly sweet and kind, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was excellent at communicating and kept me updated with lots of pictures and videos of Murphy, which I really appreciated. When we got home, Murphy was so calm, happy, and well-behaved — which tells me she got plenty of care, attention, and playtime. Thank you, Maria, for taking such great care of Murphy. I would absolutely recommend her!

We had Maria to check on our dog multiple times, she is the best with him. The communication is great and very accommodating.

Ace had a wonderful overnight stay! Maria took him on a trip downtown and he had fun running in the backyard with her border collie. She also sent video and pictures and kept me updated.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a huge fenced backyard with an agility course where your dog can play and have fun with my two dogs and / or me. Usually the dogs sleep in our house but a kennel in the garden is provided, if needed / desired. Please tell me if your dog has a special need or something important I should take into account beforehand, for instance, how is his/her behaviour with other dogs.

Pets

A typical day

I offer a lot of different activities, depending on what the dog likes: - agility course - fetch games - ball games - long walks -... For the mental stimulation I offer varied search / sniff games and food toys.

Please tell me if your dog has a special need or something important I should take into account beforehand, for instance, how is his/her behaviour with other dogs. I can accommodate basically any special needs requests. Just ask and if I haven't done it before, I’m always willing to learn.
