Yard at home. Will hike.

Pet care experience

My name is Maria. I have owned dogs, cats, horses and other small animals throughout my life. I worked at a kennel for a few years. If wanted, I am capable of taking your dog for hikes or park. I have given meds orally and IM. My availability is currently open for the most part. I would love to play and love your fur baby as if it were my own. I’ve taken care of peoples animals in a wide array of tasks for numerous years. I have a yorkie of my own. So your pet would be on the same schedule(morning feed/walk at 5am/out again at 2 unless I am off/ feed at 5pm/walk/play. Bedtime is around 9. unless otherwise specified. Organized and tidy. Walking. Just tell me what you need. Responsible. Being let out often for bathroom. Playing. Also able to groom if wanted/needed for another fee.

Maria is fantastic. Our dogs are SPOILED. We rarely leave them home alone and they are used to lots love and attention. When we travel it’s difficult to find someone who will give them the same standard of care but thankfully we found Maria. She was immediately communicative, sent photos of her house and yard right away. Throughout the stay she updated me on how they settled in and gave them lots of love. One of my dogs has special needs and she was helpful and understanding. Her yard is a treat for any dog especially dogs like mine who normally live in the city. We will definitely book again whenever we are in the area.

Maria is clearly an animal lover and was attentive to my dog's needs and personality. Having a dog herself, she already has the habits of good pet care and regular exercise that gave me extra confidence in her level of responsibility. As long as your dog is compatible with her dog, I would highly recommend Maria to someone wanting a homelike atmosphere rather than a large kennel. Next time I need to go away for a few days I hope she will be available.

Information Maria M. would like to know about your pet

Aggressive tendencies. Boundaries. Dislikes and likes. Anything else you feel is important to tell me. I’m pretty easy going. And can handle most situations. Just let me know.

A typical day

Walks on the beach or in neighborhood. Hiking at nearby parks. Playing fetch. Large yard to be in. Soaking in some sun. Going on an adventure in the car. Playing with my princess of a yorkie.
