Your Pets Second Home 🐾 near LGA

Hello Pet Parent 👋🏻 Located in East Elmhurst 🛩 2 mins away from LaGuardia Airport. I am a part time online college student and full time animal lover. I have a undeniable love and more importantly patience for pets. They might get away with a little more when their with me. I can’t resist the cuteness and company. I’ve fostered dogs and dog sitted for about 5 years now. And I am a dog owner of my own. He is an old man now, so you can say I’ve had a lot of experience. Considering he was a huge trouble maker. Patience is key. Caring for an animal comes with a special connection that I love. Hopefully you’ll put the same trust in me with your pets that I put in pets when I’m around them. I would love to get to know your pet in a personal level. And become best buds. * I am a Spanish speaker as a well so feel free to reach out in either language *🇨🇴 ‼️please be advised that all pets must have a flea and tick treatment, during spring/summer‼️ ⚠️Please note that I do accept intact or males who are not neutered, but they do tend to mark their territory even if they are potty trained. Please Provide diapers ⚠️ Pick up and drop off is available 🚘

They take the absolute best care of my dog Bowie, I trust them with my life. They’ve watched her probably around 10 times in the last 6-7 months and everytime I get my dog back, she’s happy. No greater feeling that knowing your dog is getting great care while you are out of town.

Maria is the best. She is so good with my dog who can sometimes be very anxious. She is very loving and communicative. I appreciate her very much.

Maria watched my dog Penny for 4 days while we were away on vacation. She took pictures, communicated during the time and followed the instructions I provided. Penny came back a happy pup. Would recommend Maria in a heartbeat.

Safety, trust & environment

Having my own pup who suffers from severe anxiety I am very attentive with any signs that pets might give, if are in distress. So I focus of providing a very loving and comfortable space.

A typical day

- visits to our near by dog park. - roam around freely in the fenced front yard. - treats are always provided. - lots of space to roam in the house and have occasional zoomies

- Is your pet dog friendly? (When boarding) I have a dog on my own who is kind and doesn’t mind other dogs in his home. - Any allergies I should watch out for? - what are there triggers?
