Safety, trust & environment

I will make sure they are fed, have clean bowls and will take them on walks. They will get lots of play time and I will hang out with them so that they are not alone.

Information Maria S. would like to know about your pet

- Does your pet have food restrictions or allergies of water on fur or grass that thy need to avoid in my care? - Do they have issues where they need a walk or outside time to be shortened? - Should they avoid other dogs and/or animals? - Are there any commands they follow well that would be helpful? - Favorite toys? Any additional information to keep your pet happy.

A typical day

I'll tailor our walks precisely to your dog's energy levels and preferences. For active pups, we can explore new scents and sights around Lowell, even hitting a local spot like the Bentonville Bark Park if they're social and you approve. For older or less active dogs, we'll enjoy leisurely strolls, focusing on comfortable paces and lots of sniffing. I'll always ensure we have plenty of water and keep an eye out for interesting sights. The Art of Relaxation: Cuddles and Comfort After our adventures, every dog needs some quality downtime. I provide ample opportunities for relaxation and affection with plenty of belly rubs, gentle ear scratches, and quiet cuddle time on the couch or floor. I'll read their cues to ensure they feel secure, loved, and at ease in your absence, whether that's a snuggle or just a peaceful evening together. I will make sure your pet will have play time by either taking them on a long walk, yard play time and socialize with them by

Pet care experience

I am an almost lifelong pet owner, but I have 5 years of volunteering at an animal shelter where I socialized, trained and walked pets to prepare them to be adopted. I am also a casual pet sitter for friends.

Maria was great with Jax! He is a Malinois, full of energy, so can be a handful. We would book with her again.

Maria took great care of our cats while we were away for a couple of weeks - even when they were divas and required extra attention. Would love to have her watch them again.

Maria was AWESOME! She checked in periodically, the dogs felt comfortable around her, she exceeded my expectations. It really felt like our pets did not go without. Their water canister was completely full when we returned, she was able to take the dogs on walks, she tidied up the litter box! Will rebook again and again. Thank you so much, Maria!
