Stoked to hang with all your pets

Pet care experience

As an avid dog lover, I am thrilled to meet your animals. Living and working in the city has me missing life surrounded by animals. I have experience with all sorts. I am a caring individual who will take care of your dog as if it is my own. I am also open to staying with your sweet pups while you are out of town! We could have a ton of fun. My own dog has anxiety and is a tad aggressive, therefore I have great experience diffusing situations, remaining calm and in control. Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions or concerns that would help you feel more comfortable with hiring me.

Maria was absolutely amazing! She stayed in our home with our three dogs so that we could go out of town. I will admit I was anxious at first, not only having someone new in our home, but also because we have dogs that have had agressive behavior with each other in the past, but Maria was phenominal! She kept me updated with pictures and how they were doing. I will definitely be rebooking Maria in the future!

Maria was amazing!! She sent pictures and updates everyday. She was able to stay with our dogs overnight which definitely put me at ease since one of our dogs has separation anxiety. I will definitely be booking Maria again in the future!!

Maria is amazing! She is so nice and my dogs just love her. She goes above and beyond to make sure my pups are happy and my dogs are super excited every time she comes!! She is very professional and her flexible schedule has helped me in my times of need! I plan to use her whenever I need her, and when my dogs start to miss her!

Safety, trust & environment

I have been caring for animals for years, nothing surprises or scares me. I have been trained on dog/cat safety, thankfully I have not had to use it much. I am the happiest with animals, and will make sure to give your babe a great experience!

Information Maria L. would like to know about your pet

Ahead of time, I usually ask about any triggers for unwanted behavior, and what is the best way to move forward with those. What commands you prefer, and what hand motions that you use. Lastly, any allergies (and permission) as I usually bring treats to help the dog become adjusted to me in their space.

A typical day

Depending on the service, we will walk around your area, finding all the best smell spots. If your dog enjoys other dogs, we can head to the dog park! If just hanging at home, we will play either inside or out to get some of that energy they all have out! Longe stays involve longer plays and cuddles.
