I work remote and have flexibility to work around your pup’s schedule. I live in a two bedroom condo with my husband and chihuahua, so I accept small breeds only (up to 20 lbs.).

Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
When your pup is at my home, I’ll feed them and take them for walks according to your desired schedule. Also, when I take your pup for a walk to the green areas surrounding my building, I'll always keep them on a leash, and will NOT take them to a dog park. I do not take my own dog to dog parks given that small breeds are more fragile. I'll be sending you photos of your pup so that you can know what we're up to!

Information Maria Jose D. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know in advance if your dog is taking any medication or has any special needs, including how often your pup needs to go on potty breaks, level of exercise, diet and feeding schedule. Given that your pup would be sharing a space with my little chihuahua, I only accept dogs that are healthy and with their vaccines up to date. I can administer oral medication.
A typical day
I love to take my pup to the park next door to sniff and get some fresh air! I also have toys for small dogs that we can play with while cuddling and watching tv at home.

Small doggy boarding and day care!
Pet care experience
I’m the mother of a rescue chihuahua that we adopted during the pandemic. I grew up with dogs and have loved dogs since I can remember. To me they are my family! I believe in positive reinforcement to keep a happy and balanced pup. I also believe in keeping a schedule to feed and walk your pup so that they know what to expect and can thrive. I am happy to keep your fur baby during the day or for boarding during the night.
Reviews
MJ was so sweet to our 5 year old pup Chase for 9 days. Very communicative, sending photos and Chase got along with her dog very well. He had lots of walks and cuddles. We would highly recommend her and use her in the future.
Maria has taken care of both of my dogs and is fantastic with them. Dogs love her, she has the sweetest chihuahua too and she just loves dogs!
