I'll be your dogs new best friend<3

Pet care experience

Growing up with fury friends most of my life helped more than it helped them. I have helped my friends train their puppies until I decided to start making money off of it myself. I can be very accommodating as I have experience anywhere from training a puppy to do tricks along with walking and house sitting an old doggo that is partially deaf with require daily medication and a special diet. I've walked previous neighbors dogs while they were away and routinely trained, walked, and house sat a puppy Labrador until I moved here less than a month ago! I am currently a student online so I will be able to fit more than 2 visit in a day. I am available all week days. I will always make sure to have an eye on your fur baby when in my care, I'm very cautious so I'll make sure their environment is secure, for (example a back door being open or the fence being unlocked or cracked). If your dog has a tracker I will make sure it is charged and attached anytime we go outside. Any special requests, just let me know I understand the amount of love and care your pet needs and and happy to help! I love dogs as much as they love treats, if not more!!

Maria is the epitome of a dog person, she loves and takes care of each one like they are her own. Any time my family and I go on vacation, she is the first person we ask to watch our pups! She’s attentive and actually cares about the small details like feeding times, giving them the play time and attention they still need while you’re gone. I definitely recommend using her if you’re going on vacation or just need some one you can rely on to show up for daily walks.

Maria always takes such good care of my dog Snoopy! I’ve had her watch him a few times this past summer and could not be happier with her! I never feel bad for leaving him anymore because he is always so excited to see Maria!

Maria has been the prime caregiver to my German shepherd, Jerry, for the past two years now. She has been absolutely wonderful, and I couldn’t ask for anything more. Maria consistently goes above and beyond to provide my guy with love when I’m not home. She is trustworthy and is able to fulfill any request I throw at her, she is also very accommodating and super flexible. If you are searching for a new caregiver look no further because you just found your golden ticket.

Information Maria S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog needs any extra special love. I have experience with senior dogs who require oral medication and others who are hearing impaired, I am very accommodating. If your dog is more timid with new people I will be sure to ease my way into gaining their love as I am a tender hearted person!

A typical day

Dogs need a lot of physical and mental stimulation especially in their younger years, I can provide just that! If permittable I can teach your pup tricks always with positive reinforcement. I will always be ready to play fetch with their favorite toy or a made up activity that they seem to enjoy, even better we can play with the gardening hoes or swimming pool to cool off after a long hot walk. Of course, the snuggles are a must with every visit!!
