I work full time from home so I’m able to be home for potty breaks, multiple breaks outside throughout the day, on top of a 30-45 minute lunch break to run in the backyard or take a walk! We also love to spoil our pup and visitors with homemade frozen treats (if allowed)

Information Maria R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs to consider beforehand and how friendly they are toward other dogs, as we will be spending our days with Lenny (our dog) and would prefer for them to meet beforehand to ensure they’re both comfortable with one another!

A typical day

Up for whatever your dog enjoys doing the most! We take morning and post-dinner walks each day and love to sprinkle in play time throughout the day. We live right off the Nicholson Trail and walking distance to three separate parks!

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs and have had one of my own since September 2021. He’s super friendly and loves meeting new friends! After moving to Texas in 2023, we also started fostering so we definitely have a soft spot for pups!

Maria was fantastic. We booked last minute, but she was very communicative, worked with our schedule and took great care of Boston!

Maria has been a close friend of mine for over 10 years and is one of the most reliable people I know! She is kind, punctual, and empathetic. I trust Maria with my own pets and have never known a furry friend that hasn’t hit it off with her! She understands that every dog has different needs and takes her time to cater to what is best for your pup. Her love for animals is endless!

Maria has watched my dogs and both pets love her! She is great with animals, having one herself, Lenny! Maria creates a loving, calming environment for any pet. If there are instructions that need to be followed, she will do so. Any pet owner should feel safe in trusting their loved pet or pets with Maria. She is awesome, I cannot say enough great things about her!

Maria is a wonderful fur-mama, doting on her precious pup in the most loving and caring ways possible. I trust her with both my little (fussy) dog and my big (energetic) dog. They get so excited when they she her!
