Pet care experience

Experienced Dog owner and lover!

Hi all, I’m Maria (Alex), I’ve had dogs all my life and love them with all my heart. From schnauzers to Siberian huskies, I’ve experienced a wide range of dog personalities and needs. My senior husky, who has seizures and reactivity issues, has taught me patience and how to handle even the most challenging walks with care. Both my husband and I work remote, so we have the time and flexibility to treat your dog like our own. To us, dogs are family, and I’d love to help keep your pup happy while you are unavailable! For my house sitting clients, I will be with your dogs most of the day, but if we live in the same neighborhood I’d likely step out to sleep in my own home and will return first thing in the morning (puppies are an exception as I know they need more time)

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

We take care of dogs depending on their specific needs. If the goal is to provide play, I will play fetch and give your pup loving while you are away. I make sure the dogs food and water needs are met and respect the space that I might be in.

Maria and her husband Omar took such amazing care of Odin! Exceptional communication, thoughtful updates, and total peace of mind knowing our pup was in good, experienced hands. They left our home spotless, too. We’ll definitely be calling them for future trips!

Maria and Omar were absolutely outstanding- I can not say enough about how wonderful they were with Fitz. They sent detailed updates and pictures every day, and Fitz ran into an emergency issue that Omar worked overtime to resolve with care. He was so amazing with communication and how he handled everything. I am SO grateful. I cannot recommend them enough.

Maria took such great care of my pups and my home while I was away. She’s very communicative and truly went above and beyond while caring for my babes. I look forward to her watching them again in the future knowing they’re in great hands!

Maria can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Let me know your pets special needs, if there are reactivity issues, how he behaves on a typical walk etc. To ensure I can look out for those triggers and have a smooth walk/visit. We tend to over communicate with our pet parents, so just let us know if we are doing it too much and we’ll adjust so you can enjoy your time away! Please also share your vet info in case of emergencies.
