Pet care experience

Your dog will be loved !

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: This was my first time ever using Rover. Thank you for the wonderful care that you provided to my little girl. It was the first time she's ever been away from me; never mind an extended stay. I brought her home, fed her, played with her, rubbed her belly, and she slept 12 straight hours. I'll definately use Maria again.

My little girl seemed very relaxed with Maria. She came home and took a long nap!

Maria is amazing. Our nervous and anxious baby enjoyed her stay. Immediately at the meet and greet Mimosa loved Maria’s energy. Maria kept us updated which put us at ease. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave our baby with her again. 💚💚

Pets

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.
