All puppers and doggos welcome!

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Maria and I grew up with dogs most of my life. I have been actively sitting/walking dogs for a little over a year. I will provide your dog their much needed exercise and stimulation. I currently have two husky mixes and will happily welcome your pup into the pack for daycare or overnight stays. I enjoy caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. They will be treated as part of the family whether they are at your home or mine. If I am sitting your dog will enjoy long walks, hikes, dog park visits and beach trips and plenty of attention or playtime with doggie toys. Your dog will be in good hands, with pictures and updates sent to you regularly.

Information Maria M. would like to know about your pet

Are they good with other dogs? Are they good with cats? Do they have any known allergies? Are they good off-leash? How well do they listen to commands.

A typical day

Walks can be in your local neighborhood or around the local trails. I'm happy to take your dog to the beach, and let them run free if they are good off-leash. Otherwise, and nice sandy walk along the ocean (on-leash).
