Maria was great with my dogs. She sent me daily pictures and updates, which was truly appreciated because I miss my dogs a lot when I am away. Also, she was great with my Frenchie, who has a sensitive stomach. She tools care of my dogs as if they were her own. I could tell they got lots of love and attention!

I’m very pleased with Maria, she sat my two dogs for a week and they have no complaints :) She sent updates and pictures; will definitely book her again.

Rover’s profile said no other dogs were in the home, she dog sat for many dogs during my dog’s stay and didn’t tell me. Maria had no idea which belongings and food were mine, so I don’t know if she fed my dog the correct food or someone else’s during the stay. I returned to my dog’s bowl chewed by another dog and Maria wouldn’t pay for or replace the bowl.

Information Maria S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors. My goal is to provide the same care and compassion they receive at home.

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dog physically and mentally. We will play games, go for long walks through the green belt and surrounding neighborhood and if he’s afraid of a storm I’m never going to let your pup feel alone. My experience caring for puppies to seniors leads with safety and continuity of care.

Availability

I’m currently working part time, so I have plenty of time and energy to fit your pup into my daily routine. I enjoy walks, bath time, grooming, play time and outings to dog parks if that is something your pet can safely enjoy with others!
