Information Maria M. would like to know about your pet

Semi schedule that you have them On for feedings and potty breaks. Any medications needed . Would like to know if they are nervous around other dogs . And also how often you would like updates. I take lots of pictures & don’t want to overwhelm any pet owners lol . Any anxiety or triggers .

A typical day

Depending on the age of the doggie - we play outside with other pups or by themselves - such as fetch (ball machine is a hit) or just run around /take a walk in general . My yard is big and out in the country -‘option to free roam with supervision or be in the 6ft fence with supervision - lots of space to run. Also a big house so if the weather is ugly , they are allowed to play inside .

Pet care experience

I have a background in the medical and paralegal field . We can accommodate any pup , any situation! I have had my own dog kennel for years . I’m very energetic & love animals & so does my son & family members who do this with me . I take them on walks and keep them entertained . Since i have experience whelping and with mommy dogs , i can take on any challenge . I can administer medication responsibly. Not all dogs get along with other dogs , i understand that . I have a nice insulated building with heat and ac for the dogs who really prefer their own space . It’s very nice & comfortable in there. But i do offer space in my home as well for free roam - lots of land && a great area . Plus a 6 ft tall fence. They gets lots of play time since I’m generally home. I Keep toys and supplies & cute fenced in areas for smaller pups as well to separate from big pups . Doggies are spoiled here, every pup gets one on one time . Plenty of space to run && play outside & in the very spacious open floor home . From big to little , they are welcome here . Experience with high anxiety pets and older dogs. Conditioned “puppy cave” in home as well for pups who like their own space but don’t want to be in the building . Prices can be discussed for multiples & long stays or in general if it is an emergency & unexpected , I’ll work with you . We put our time & care & money into what we do . This is not the only place that i promote my pet sitting business, but Rover is awesome ! Lots of experience & many references for months/weeks long stays . Can also offer grooming (mobile groomer who helps me out ) & training when needed . Our days are literally centered around the puppies we keep . They are our top priority- you will love the updates .

Maria was great with our dogs. She sent daily photos and they were comfortable being their goofy selves. They came home tired and happy!

Maria was amazing!! This was my first time using her so the fact that she allowed me to do a meet and greet ahead of the scheduled stay so my fur baby could warm up to her, really put my mind at ease. I appreciated the daily updates. I could tell by the pictures that Milo felt loved and right at home😊 Would definitely use her services again!!

Maria is amazing! I’ve not once felt nervous about leaving my two crazies with her. She sent so many photos and took very good care of them. They were active and always playing or exploring in whatever photos I’ve received. Thank you so much for watching over them!! 🙏🏾
