Your dog will be loved !

Pet care experience

I have a nice size house with a fenced in back yard for your dog to have fun running and playing around. Your dog will feel loved and treated as if he/she was having a pampered vacation. Our furry visitors love feeling cozy inside my home. I have always had one or more pets in the home and can guarantee a safe loving environment for your pet. My house is spacious, warm on cozy in the winter and nice and cool in the summer. I take care of only one customer at a time, meaning your dog will have exclusive attention and pampering. Plus I bake homemade organic dog cookies for them as a bonus for them to enjoy their stay. About this sitter: I have had dogs since a child and love them very much like my own child. Couldn't live without having a pet and caring for them, they are a blessing and great joy in our lives. I want to continue to donate to ASPC in Fredericksburg and Pekingese homeless pets in Richmond in need so they too can have the love and care they long for and I want to be apart of that so I can help all of Gods creation and show them love and care for the ones that I get to have the pleasure to sit in our home and give back in return to the ones in need. Every little that we sprinkle in someones lives is a gift that God gives us to spread the love. Why I love dog sitting since I was a child caring for dogs at 5 yrs old. About my yard We have a back yard and it is fenced in with plenty of running space and very private so the dogs can play and not bother the neighbors My experience administering medication Yes I have done it in the past to my dogs that needed medical attention

Maria was absolutely AMAZING!!! She went above and beyond to take care of my fur baby Mia. It all started with our meet and greet where we met her and Ringo. She was very welcoming and Mia felt right at home! Maria made sure she understood everything she needed to know about Mia for her upcoming stay. At the time of boarding I was nervous because Mia had been experiencing more pain than usual due to the cold weather affecting her arthritis but Maria was so on top of it! She has this special heat lamp she uses on Ringo and Mia absolutely loved it. Maria would also give Mia massages which made her the happiest dog in the world. I’m so grateful to Maria for the special care and attention she provided and the multiple daily updates as well which helped me stay at ease during my time away from home. I will definitely contact Maria again for Mia’s care she is tremendous!!! Thanks again Maria!!! ?

Maria was the best sitter for Foxxy that I could have ever hoped for. It’s always hard leaving my furbaby behind, especially in new hands, but Maria made the whole experience so comforting. I truly felt that Foxxy was treated as if she was Maria’s own dog while I was away. She even gave her homemade dog cookies. I would not hesitate to book with Maria again in the future!

all their special needs and care to make sure they feel loved and welcomed and there is no preferred breed. My little one loves all dogs and is extremely friendly. If there are any special needs please address it so I can give the love and attention needed.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks In the neighborhood or parks close by if the owner would like me to walk their pet and I can drive to close by parks which are nice downtown Fredericksburg. Your dog's sleeping arrangement In side most likely in my bedroom unless the owner would like other arrangements , I have a spare bedroom in case any dogs want privacy from my little dog which he sleeps in my bedroom but is very friendly and loves to share his bed with anyone that visits. Time I'll spend with your dog at least 5 hours and many times 8 hours or more depending on the need.
