Responsible at home dog lover

Pet care experience

Hello! I am Maria! I love dogs of all shapes and sizes, and ages. When I have dogs over, I pride myself on taking the time to pamper them, look after them, send reliable and constant updates but most of all, making sure they feel at home. I know dogs and owners can feel a little hesitant about their stay, so I suggest a virtual tour of my home and space so owners can meet me, get to know me, and see where they will be staying. I live in the heart of midtown, a 5-10min walk from Piedmont Park, so we can enjoy a good long walk, or if your pup is more of an indoors type, we have a nice big dog park in my complex. I work remotely in tech as a designer, meaning I am home every day! I have plenty of time for walks and potty breaks during the day, and they will alone during the day. During the weekend, if I have a doggo over, I try to stay in or do dog-friendly activities to enjoy my time with the dogs. For me, it is a treat to have them over. I am very accommodating to dogs and their needs; if your dog has any special requirements, medical administration, anxieties, strict scheduling, or behavioral preferences, I will work with you always to have those in mind. Hope to hear from you soon!

Maria took fantastic care with our dog Django. We had a special situation with Django being transported to ATL and we needed a sitter to watch him for four days before we arrived to the city. Maria made Django feel at home after a stressed 3 day trip. Keeping us updated with video and pics to show he’s doing ok. I would highly recommend Maria as a sitter and will use her again. Maria rocks!

Maria was great! Lily came back a very happy dog- which we knew from the lovely pictures Maria sent! Thanks again, it means so much to us.

Maria was able to accomodate us within a week (thankful she had availability, of course). We are thankful that she followed directions concerning our dogs who have specific care needs. Would recommend her to anyone seeking a trustful dog sitter!

Information Maria I. would like to know about your pet

A typical day

A typical day will depend on my clients needs, I then work around their needs to schedule my day or weekends. If your dog needs a lot of outdoor time I can schedule a long walks or a good hike. If you are an owner of a senior dog that needs slow walks or more down time I am also happy to accommodate. However you can be sure that during their stay they will ALWAYS have will be a lot of petting time, snuggles included and of course regular updates with many photos! My favorite stays are those that are slightly longer as I get more time to to bond with them so def reach out if you have a special case like more then a week or two of stay needed!
