It's a Dog's Life for Me!-Long Bch
NOTE: All dogs in my care must be spayed/neutered, fully vaccinated, totally house-trained, and get along really, really well with other dogs. *Rates include Sniffspot fees; ask me about Sniffspot! Send your dog on vacay while you're away. We're great hosts! 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! We 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 even go to a Sniffspot for safe off-leash exercise. We are living the life! And we want to share it with your dog. Let us 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, Clifford, 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. Meet my pets Boss is an 13-year-old Miniature Schnauzer. Clifford is a 4-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, including insulin shots and epilepsy meds.

Ratings and reviews
Maria sent a bunch of photos of my dog Ollie having so much fun running around. He came back home happy and tired!
Maria is the best! My dog is high energy and a little anxious. Maria takes such good care of him and keeps him busy. I never worry about boogie when Maria has him. I hate to admit it but he actually looks sad to come home when I pick him up!
Maria and her crew is amazing! Maria took carr of our baby girl while we went out of the country to attend a wedding. We were comforted knowing our furbaby was under Maria's care and appreciated the daily photos. If you ever need a sitter for your furbaby, don't hesitate to reach out to Maria!
Maria took good care of our girl Jazmine. She sent us pics of her walking, eating and playing. Very cool.
Maria always goes above and beyond to take care of our girl. Thank you, Maria for being the best dog sitter we could ask for!
My dog, Anchovy, looked like he was having so much fun on his vacation! I almost wanted to trade places. Maria was amazing and sent great updates. Anchovy was smiling ear to ear in every photo.

Schedule
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. I often arrange for a local Sniffspot where the dogs in my care can safely get some exercise, run and play on grass, and enjoy the breeze in the shelter of tree shade. WALK REQUESTS: My walking service consists of picking up your pup to join us for our afternoon excursion, usually to a safe and clean Sniffspot. Your pup will get to run and play with my gentle pack in a secure Sniffspot backyard for an hour.

Safety, trust & environment
My home is dog-friendly. There's plenty of furniture and beds on which to lounge, two boxes of dog toys, and an open space we call Romper Room for monitored play.

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 a local *Sniffspot to run off-leash and play. 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! *With multiple dogs in my care, I prefer to go where it will mostly be just us, so I don't have to worry about other dogs. My pup clients are fun and well-behaved, and most of them have stayed together a lot and know each other well. They're great friends! Going to a Sniffspot allows us to enjoy each others company in a clean backyard, with grass and trees, in a safe and secure space.
