Love, attention and thoughtful care

Pet care experience

Your loved pets will be treated with all the respect, attention and care they need and deserve. I have owned dogs and cats for over 35 years and I wouldn't like it any other way if my own furry children where in another person’s hands. I love their company, I play with them, walk them (my favorite thing to do…), or simply watch them play freely at my fully fenced and safe backyard. I talk to them, snuggle when they need it or want it, and make them feel confortable. Dog sitting requires constant dedication, patience, time and awareness. I am flexible and willing to give the best of me, so they can be comfortable, supervised and surrounded by affection. I would like to assist pet owners in need of a comfortable, loving, trustworthy place to leave their loved ones. I provide as many supervised potty breaks as the pet owner requests or as the dog needs, and follow all instructions and guidelines for each dog, since I know no dog is similar to another. I enjoy taking pictures and videos, so you will have plenty of them sent daily, with updates on how they are doing. I will enjoy picking up and dropping off your lovely furry friend, when boarding at my house, if you need that service. Contact me for a "meet and greet" and let me take care of your pet while you enjoy worryless time away.

Maria was wonderful with our 2 dogs. They spent one night with her and the photos and videos we received from Maria showed us they were totally at home with her. We highly recommend Maria for your pups.

María Luisa took SUCH great care of our dog. She was very professional and also very loving with our pup. I felt very much at ease with her taking care of him and I can tell he had a wonderful time with her and her crew. Thanks so much again!

I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby happy and entertained. Lots of squirrels running up the fence and birds too. If they need walks, I enjoy a good 20/30 minute stroll around the neighborhood and they can greet other dogs and people. Your pup will be safe and happy with us.

Information Maria Luisa D. would like to know about your pet

I will inquire about their personality, special needs or requirements, favorite activities, meals schedule, potty breaks schedule and any other valuable information to help me replicate their daily lives so they can feel more comfortable and safe. Being away from home and their parents is always stressful for them so the idea is to minimize that feeling. I don't have breed preferences, but I reject aggressive or unsociable personalities, for my own pups’ safety and the safety of others. I have to be aware of any medical condition, any allergies or anything that may trigger a mental or physical discomfort. I prefer neutered/spayed dogs, and all vaccinations have to be up to date as well as some type of flee prevention. I would appreciate if you let me know if any of the above is not current or not given. Unfortunately, unless part of the same family, I can’t take puppies at this moment.

A typical day

Lots of playtime and also quiet time. Individual attention, moderate walks, I also make trips to a nearby doggy park when I have more active breeds, for additional exercise. The park is fully fenced and divided into large and small breed sections. I walk them during hours when the temperature is comfortable and they can enjoy moderate, healthy exercise.
