Information Maria M. would like to know about your pet

As I do not request proof of vaccination records, all fur babies need to be up-to-date on their shot records. Please also advise me if your fur baby has any allergies, behavioral temperments/aggressions, and/or social anxiety.

A typical day

I love to stimulate fur babies physically and mentally! We will take lots of walks, trips to the park, play lots of games/activities (fetch, frisbee) and explore all the new smells in the neighborhood.

Paw Pals By Maria (Home FT) 🐶

Pet care experience

***All new Paw Pal Parents will receive $40 off their first booking to use towards their fur babies boarding!!*** 🐶 Hello Everyone! My name is Maria and I am a certified pet trainer/extreme dog lover! I previously worked as a veterinarian assistant and enjoyed every second of it! I just love and adore animals..in specific, dogs! I grew up with multiple fur babies and my love only grew deeper and deeper as years went by, When I noticed DogVacay/Rover was a way I could interact with other dogs, I knew I had to sign up, it was a dream come true! I love all types of fur babies, the more energetic the better. I also enjoy a dog who is laid back and enjoys being cuddled on the couch. A typical day at Paw Pals By Maria always starts and ends with a long walk/run incorporated with different games (fetch, frisbee etc..) along with behavioral activities and basic command training, just to ensure your fur baby gets the most out of their stay. Because I work from home, I can assure your fur baby will get the best care and one on one attention needed to make their stay enjoyable. If you have any questions feel free to ask, as I would like to believe I am an open book and if you don't have any questions definitely feel free to book a stay for your dog(s) and I'm positive they will appreciate you for it! As well, if you have a minute to spare, take a look at some of the photos that I have posted of a few dog stays to get a visual understanding of the great time your fur baby will have! ***Also just a friendly reminder while booking: Please make sure whatever time you are dropping your fur baby off you pick up either before or at the same time of pick up. If not, you must book an extra day. EX: 7am drop off your fur baby must be picked up by 7am on the day of pick up. Anything afterwards will be considered an additional day.*** Thank you for taking the time to read about Paw Pals By Maria!! Can't wait to meet you and your fur baby!! Xoxo. Have a Paw-some day!! 🐾 Flexible! Because I work from home your fur baby (ies) will never be left unattended and will receive all the love, cuddles and attention their little hearts desire!! 🐶 ❤ At Paw Pals By Maria we start our days bright and early with a brisk morning walk to allow our minds and body to activate throughout the day. We will follow the walk up with fetch/frisbee and basic training commands. We will relax, eat and then head to the nearby park (where there is a trail and a creek) that every fur baby loves! When we get back we would eat dinner, relax and enjoy the night cuddled on the couch watching our favorite cartoon animations!! And don't forget lots of treats throughout the day!!!

Maria was amazing. She was very easy to communicate and was flexible with our drop off and pick up times. She sent us lots of pictures and we saw how well our dog was doing. Would definitely recommend her.
