Pet care experience

WFH pet parents!

I am home full time most work days! Our dog, Bagel, has been getting a lot better with his separation anxiety but we’re definitely familiar with the struggles of not being able to leave your dog alone, so we’re happy to work with you to find a solution! We have experience giving pets medication, experience with picky eaters, and with dogs with separation anxiety. We can take medium sized dogs but don’t like to take dogs bigger than 60 pounds! This is flexible if your larger dog is relaxed and easy to walk. We also prefer low-moderate energy dogs as it is more difficult to take care of a high energy dog alongside our beagle.

Maria was amazing and so communicative. She definitely made Zeke feel right at home the first time he was at her place! We look forward to using her again in the future!

Maria was great watching our dog Nawab! She was very responsive and was able to help us out when we urgently needed dog boarding for a few days. Maria was very patient with Nawab as he was new to her home, and she (and her cute dog Bagel!) made great hosts. When Nawab was anxious she helped calm him down with a thunder jacket and calming ointment, and she shared lots of pics and was very communicative. We would happily have Nawab spend more time with Maria and Bagel!

Maria and Aaron did a great job watching Finley over a long weekend. She was communicative and flexible and made the whole experience great. We’ll definitely recommend Maria and Aaron and look forward to booking them in the future!

Maria was great! She and her boyfriend took Allie to the park and I received lots of photos of Allie having a good time. Would definitely use again!

Pets

A typical day

As Bagel is a beagle, he loves to sniff! We have a ton of enrichment toys and puzzle feeders like kongs, snuffle mats, and rolling feeders. There are several parks near us that we would be more than happy to bring your pup to.
