Dog Lovers without Dogs in our Life

Pet care experience

Dogs have always been my favorite animal. My father was a dog trainer, and we had our first family dog when I was 8. Since then, I've either had dogs or made a clear effort to have a dog in my life. All my friends have dogs, I've worked at vet clinics, dog sitter for neighbors and family friends. My boyfriend, Seth, and I work in film so having a dog is tough. We are both dog obsessed and would love to hang out with your fur baby! - I can administer medications (pills, injections, etc) - I can work on training (good walking habits, tricks, etc) - I am a professional photographer with dogs as a hobby. This means a lot of photoshoots with your model pupper will likely happen. You'll get the files :) - Your furry child will have CONSTANT love and attention - I understand the importance of updates and photos. We can discuss how often, but anytime something cute happens, I will photograph them and send you an update.

I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch Benji for the day! I can immediately tell after picking up Benji he had a fun filled day. I will definitely be reaching out again in the future. Also the day diary they wrote for Benji was the cutest thing. Thank you Maria and Seth!!

Safety, trust & environment

We live downtown in a beautiful loft with plenty of space for any size dog. There is space on the roof for dogs, and otherwise we usually walk/ hike in Los Feliz and Silverlake area. I go on a run every evening and can bring the pooch if they need running. There are also lots of dog parks we know of (my bf used to have a dog) that we can go play at if they need more space or a big grassy area.

Information Maria R. would like to know about your pet

I am very comfortable with any breed. I just need to know of any injuries, allergies, medications, and any preferences you or your fur baby(ies) have for types of treats or snuggles.

A typical day

We will go on walks anywhere you feel comfortable. I have a few good hikes I know about, but we can always just go around the neighborhood. I love a good run, so I'm more than happy to run your dogs as well. We will likely also do some photoshoots, lots of cuddles and attention, playing with toys, training with treats, or just lounging.

Availability

Fair warning: we usually won't book very far in advance. Last minute trips are our sweet spot. Working in film is 100% on or 100% off. When we are off set, we are available pretty much 24/7. But it's difficult for us to commit far in advance when our jobs usually aren't confirmed until week of. But with that said, if you ever need quiet time without the furchild, have people over for that might be allergic to dogs, you hurt yourself in acro yoga that you decided to get into now that you have the time and can't take the baby for a walk, or just need a few days without having to vacuum, We are here!
