Fur babies welcome! 💕
Pet care experience
I’ve owned dogs of all sizes and have provided in-home care for dogs for many years. I absolutely love all breeds, shapes, and sizes. I routinely provide care for multiple dogs at the same time, walking them, feeding them, and giving them all the snuggles! Each one leaves a paw print on my heart. 💕
Reviews
Maria did a fantastic job of taking car of Tessa, our Goldendoodle, while we took an international trip. She has a beautiful, clean home with a large patio and plenty of walking paths and green space in/around her neighborhood. We had a meet-and-greet at her home well ahead of our trip and she answered all our questions, plus shared her experience with caring for other dogs of all breeds, sizes and temperaments. Before our trip, she had been asked to care for two other dogs, which she inquired if we'd be okay with. Given her demonstrated knowledge of their behaviors and experience around other dogs, we were and felt comfortable with how she would manage the three dogs. During our trip, Maria consistently sent numerous photos and updates letting us know how Tessa was doing and enjoying her time. Overall, we were very satisfied with the care Tessa received, and will look forward to working with Maria for future boarding needs.
María is always amazing. She treats our pups like family and stays in close contact. We are so lucky to have found her!
Maria was awesome! She kept in touch regularly while we were away, sending cute photo updates that we really appreciated and enjoyed. Will definitely look to book her again in the future!
Thank you for being so attentive to my sweet senior girl’s many needs! I could tell she really right at home with you in all the photos and videos you sent me. Being away from her is always hard, but it made such a difference knowing how happy she was with you!

I have a spacious fenced in backyard and live in a quiet dog friendly neighborhood. There are several trails nearby but also grassy areas for those dogs who don’t like long walks. Your dog is absolutely welcome to cuddle with me on the furniture.
Home
Information Maria S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pup requires anything special (medications, extra walks, play time) as well as their schedule so I can ensure consistency in their day.
A typical day
There are plenty of trails around me to take your pup on a short or long walk. I have dog toys and will gladly play tug of war or fetch until your pup is done with me (haha).

I work from home most of the week and therefore could use the extra company.💜 Since I’m home, your fur baby will get extra love and attention all day. Adhering to your rules, if your pup wants to snuggle and watch tv with me on the couch, great! If your pup wants to sleep in the bed, great! I welcome all the love and attention and will reciprocate! In an effort to help those who can’t find a sitter for the entire period of your requested stay (including me) and you need to book with 2 sitters, I’m willing to transport your fur baby to another pup sitter. 😊
