It's a Dog's Life for Me!-Long Bch

Pet care experience

NOTE: All dogs in my care must be spayed/neutered, fully vaccinated, totally house-trained, and get along really, really well with other dogs. Send your dog on vacay while you're away. We're great hosts! We take an average of five walks a day and stop in at the dog park for at least an hour every afternoon. We love to exercise, socialize, and play games. So give us a try. We'll even update you with great pics of all the fun stuff we're doing. Midday is here, time to go out and play! Oh no, you're at work or not at home and your furry friend needs to get some exercise. No problem. We can help! Boss and I go out every afternoon. We're great guides! We go out for an average of two hours every afternoon. We walk around town. We hit the marina. We go to the beach. We go to the dog park and hang out with our doggy friends. We are living the life! And we want to share it with your dog. Let us pick up your pup and bring your pal along to alleviate the midday doldrums. In town with your best pal but can't take him/her to a meeting or to dinner or to Disneyland? Your pup can hang out with us. We're great sitters! Whether it's all day or just hanging out for a couple of hours, we can entertain and sooth your buddy until you get back. So try us. We'll even send you updates and photos to entertain you, too! * Dogs must be neutered/spayed. Sorry, no exceptions. ** Dogs must be house trained. No exceptions. Why I love dog sitting Because dogs are awesome! They're smart, active, and social. They're funny and interesting. I learn something from dogs just about every day. Boss and I have a pretty good life. We get to go out every day and do stuff, see stuff, and meet others. And we want to share it with more dogs. Check us out on Instagram @allbossallthetime Meet my pets Boss is an 11-year-old Miniature Schnauzer. Clifford is a 3-year-old Miniature Schnauzer. They're fun, friendly and smart. They like to get other dogs to play. They're great with big dogs and little dogs, and even adjust play with elderly dogs and puppies. My experience administering medication Yes. I've administered medication to my own pets as well as to guest pets.

Maria is a great dog sitter! Our Beaux enjoyed both of her stays with her and her dogs. She does a great job of giving the dogs a lot of love and play. I really love the photo updates we get when we’re out of town. It makes us happy to see our dog enjoying her time while we’re away. We’d definitely would rebook in the future!

Gooses favorite sitter. Drove from West Hollywood just for her. Goose always has the best time and is very tired after we pick him up.

Information Maria V. would like to know about your pet

I care for multiple dogs at a time, for which all dogs in my care must be spayed/neutered, fully vaccinated, totally house-trained, and get along really, really well with other dogs. If that sounds like your pup, let's arrange a meet-n-greet and see if we're the right fit. Finding the right fit for your pup is important to me. With multiple guests here at any given time, I am not able to care for dogs that are aggressive, have odd triggers, or that are overly anxious. They may be better paired with someone who can spend more one-on-one time with them.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks We go out several times a day just to stretch our legs and get some fresh air. In the early afternoon, we go out for our daily excursion. We like to go to dog parks to run off-leash and make friends. Sometimes we walk to the marina and take in the cool breezes. We also like the dog beach on a warm day. Your dog should come with us! Time I'll spend with your dog We spend at least two hours every afternoon exploring downtown, hitting the beach, or hanging out with our friends at the dog park. It's a great time to socialize and exercise and check out new stuff.

I work from home, so we're together all the time. We take several walks to stretch our legs and get some fresh air. And we go on a daily excursion averaging two hours a day. It might be to a dog park or the beach or a long scenic walk.
