Information Maria & Luis V. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any allergies or if they are on meds! It’s important for me to keep your pet out of harm and make sure that they have fun but also keep them healthy and safe. Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors I need to watch for! Also make me aware of any places to stay away from (fear of water, etc) I like to know how your dog is socially. Do they like other large dogs, small dogs? Do they play well with others?

A typical day

We can do walks, hikes, even to a play day at the park, I am sure I will pamper your pooch. We Live in Church Hill with friendly dogs neighbors; we are close to Chimborazo Park and other places we can visit. Just tell me about their usual day and we’ll make it happen!

Loving them is a privilege of a few

Pet care experience

There hasn’t been a day since I was a little girl that I wasn’t surrounded by animals in my household. From my first dog, Lassie, a beautiful Collie who I grew up to love, to 3 German Shepards who surrounded my house during my childhood, to 2 golden retrievers when I was.a teenager to lastly Bobby, a young Rottweiler and Minga, our stray dog who we adopted from the streets. Im used to being surrounded by animals and I love it. I believe that a big part of a loving and caring family comes from that unconditional love that only pets are capable of giving. So for this reasons im looking to help out pet owners who need a hand when their pets need their love. I also have the knowledge to interact with different types of pets, from bunnies who we used to have in our house to cats and parrots. Lately we have been taking care of Cooper, our neighbors cat who comes over to our house and hangs out with us when our friends are traveling. At the moment we don’t have pets in our household, meaning that taking care of your pet will allow us to feel at home too. I’m a freelance designer and my schedule is super flexible, so I'm sure I would be taking care of your pet as if he/she is my full-time job! My husband is WFH so we will spend all our time together playing and cuddling with your pet. We love to go out and walk in the neighborhood (It's Church Hill, how can you not) and I'm sure they will love that too. We're able to give your pet all the attention needed, and they would never be unattended. We take boarding seriously and safety is our number one priority. Your pet will always have someone around to give it lots of attention and affection. We do everything we can to meet the needs of your pet to assure they are safe, comfortable, and having fun during their stay.

Maria and Luis were wonderful with Murphy! They were communicative and easy going. I was nervous, as this was my first time having Murphy walked by a stranger, but feel so comfortable leaving her in their care!!

Maria did a fabulous job taking Buffy on walks! It usually takes a while for Buffy to warm up, but she instantly took a liking to Maria 😌 We would definitely book her again. Thank you!

Wonderful service , was friendly and made me feel very comfortable leaving my fur baby in her care. She kept me updated and took great care of my kitty and even brought in the mail - will definitely repeat when I leave town again

This is my second time using Maria! She goes above and beyond to take care of my fur babies. She is very punctual and trustworthy.
