Reliable, Loving Care for Your Dog

I absolutely love spending time with dogs, whether they’re energetic puppies or sweet seniors. I’m experienced with things like sticking to training routines, giving medication, or just making sure your dog feels extra loved and cared for while you’re away.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, your pet will be treated like family. I have a sweet senior dog who is calm and loves lounging on the couch, so the environment is quiet and cozy. I make sure to provide a safe, comfortable space where pets can feel at ease. Whether it's in my home or yours, I prioritize safety and trust, keeping your dog’s routine and comfort in mind in everything I do.

Maria watched our house, dog Maggie and cat Kevin for a week. Communication was perfect and everything went smoothly. Would highly recommend and use again. Kevin even gave four paws up.

Maria was great from start to finish. She was super communicative, very responsive, and kept me updated while we were out of town. My dogs we're all in great spirits when we got home, and I could tell she gave great care to them. We can't thank you enough, and will definitely book you again! Thank you!!!

It's helpful to know your pet's routine, including regular activities like meal times, walks, and favorite toys, to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. Understanding any health needs, such as medical conditions, medications, or allergies, allows me to provide the right care. Knowing your pet's temperament, whether they’re shy, friendly, energetic, or more laid-back, helps me tailor my approach to their personality. It’s also important to be aware of any ongoing training, such as housebreaking or leash manners, so I can reinforce good behaviors. I’ll also ask about their favorite activities, like fetch, walks, cuddles, or solo playtime, so I can make sure they’re having fun. Lastly, if they have any behavioral quirks—like being scared of loud noises or certain areas they don’t like to be touched—I'll take extra care to keep them at ease. The more I know, the better I can care for your pet!
