I'm currently at home 24/7. My pets and I are used to wake up at 5:30 sm in the morning for the first "Potty Time" Breakfast between 7-8 am. Walks after midday, naps when/if they are tired. Dinner at 5 pm Generally I take my pets out for potty 3 times a day or when they ask me for. Every dog has their own personality so feel completely free to tell me their routines ❣️❣️(feeding time, potty hours, allowed or not on bed/couch etc)

Safety, trust & environment

Max and Cleo are Great Pyrenees, 2 extremely gentle giants that love to play and take care of any kind of animals (they are very calm but they love to bark at the begging, they get tired easily after some minutes of play time). In the other hand, Kai is a medium size old doggy, he gets very excited with new pets but a few minutes later he just ignore them and likes to go back to take long naps on the couch. I have 2 friendly indoor cats, they mostly spend the day sleeping inside the bedroom or playing with the dogs from time to time.

Information Maria R. would like to know about your pet

Before booking, let me know if you pet have any behavior or special needs that I have to pay attention to. Also if they have a routine or feeding schedule to follow in order to not stress your pets too much while they are in a new environment.

A typical day

I have back fence patio (we live in a low traffic area) sI keep the pets inside the house most of the time but we have a play time outside if the weather permits Usually i Take them to potty or have a brief recreational walking time. The long walks I usually do it around our neighborhood area once a day after midday. I like to keep my house clean and organized so the pets will find a very comfortable and clean environment where they can have naps on the couch and play with all the amazing "Max toys collection" that he loves to share with all the pups!

Pet care experience

-->PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BOOK<-- *I have 2 indoor cats (extremely friendly with dogs/cats) and they love to play with the pups. Make sure your pet is friendly with them too ^^ *If this is your first time with me please let's set up a Meet and Greet so you can meet me and my pets and make sure we are a good fit for your pup!! (I don't take new pets without a previous meet and greet, unless is an emergency case) My priority is to keep your pet safe, comfortable and fully entertained while you are away. Walks around the lake in our neighorhood surrounded by nature are a must do in our daily check list (sometimes we even take them to the mall to socialize and get free treats lol) As a pet sitter I'm offering house & pet walking/sitting opportunities to families (I'm willing to travel farther and pick up them by myself)! I have aided many friends & family members in keeping their pets safe to keep their stay-away stress free! I have years experience with dogs and cats. Feel free to DM for more details or if you need a better deal for long-term boarding 😊

Maria was wonderful. We loved the pictures and hearing about how much fun the dogs had. Both dogs got back home completely worn out for 2 days, which gave us plenty of peace and quiet to recover and catch up on everything!

Maria is amazing! Daisy loved her and was comfortable staying with her. It made it easier to relax knowing she was in good hands! Thank you for taking such good care of our old girl!

Maria was very friendly and inviting. She invited us to a meet and great and everything went well. She was very accommodating to Freya's eating and exercise schedule. I will be using Maria again in the future and would highly recommend her.
