Dog Care & Training Experience

I’ve always had dogs and have hands-on experience caring for them, along with knowledge of canine training and enrichment. I enjoy keeping dogs active and engaged through walks, play, basic training, tricks, and structured activities. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your dog is doing while you’re away.

I highly recommend Maria! She took care of my fur baby, Samantha, and was absolutely wonderful with her. Maria is so loving, responsible, and truly attentive to every detail. You can immediately tell how much she cares for animals and how trustworthy she is. I felt completely at ease leaving Samantha in her care, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for great pet care!

María has taken care of my dog Tiza several times, and it’s been an amazing experience. Tiza is very nervous, but María has incredible patience with her and always sends me videos to keep my mind at ease. The best part is seeing how excited Tiza gets when she sees her; she doesn't hide at all! That gives me so much confidence leaving them together. María definitely has a natural affinity and a true calling for working with them.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of space for dogs to safely play, explore, and get some energy out. Your pup will also have the option to socialize and play with my two friendly dogs, or enjoy their own space if they prefer a quieter environment. My home has several areas where dogs can relax comfortably and have some privacy, and I also have a crate available for dogs who are crate-trained or feel more comfortable having their own cozy space. I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual personality, routine, and needs, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, playtime, and attention while they’re with me!
