Pet care experience
For 6 years I was the house sitter for an elderly German Shepard collie mix, he required 1x walk a day, teeth brushing 1x a day, and medications several times. I have also watched a Husky puppy who required 2x walks a day and a minimum of 1 hour of vigorous exercise. I also would take care of 8-12 racing sled dogs for a local Anchorage sprint musher. Each dog requires high level care, as they are athletes.— I grew up taking care of a black lab, golden retriever, chihuahua, and two cats (one short hair and one long hair). I run daily, if you pet requires vigorous activity, they can run with me or a similar activity that fits their needs.
Reviews
Maria is always wonderful with our pets! This is the second time we’ve booked her and will continue to do so whenever we need!
Maria went above and beyond to make sure our pets were taken care of while we were out of town. We will definitely be rebooking in the future!
Maria is incredibly thoughtful and caring. She goes the extra mile to ensure you have the peace of mind and effective communication when watching your animals.
Very flexible, excellent communication, took time for a meet and greet, great with our pit mix and dachshund mix, sent plenty of photos, and took great care of our house. We appreciated her staying an extra day after our flight was cancelled. Would absolutely recommend her for your next house sitting and we will definitely be booking her again!

Safety, trust & environment
With my home, we do not have a yard, but live near several well maintained trails, a lake, a few dog parks, and many open recreation fields to explore and play in. We have three couches for pets to enjoy, as well as a queen bed. For cats we have a loft for them to roam around on a double bed with a window. With a clients home I would abide by any and all rules that are established, and would maintain the daily schedule that their pet(s) are use to. I uphold myself to the highest standards of care, as well as cleanliness. I will happily clean your home to whatever level is desired during my stay or visitation.

Please let me know if you pet has any of the following: Food behaviors Anxiety (separation) Anxiety (touch or noise) Guarding behaviors Does not do well with others; dogs, cats, children, adults. Herding of care givers ( if two+ adults in the home, they must stay in the same space, or pet will become worried).
A typical day
We would explore open fields and dog parks for playing games (ball, frisbee, chase, and if desired socializing with other pets). Your pet would be given the time to stop, rest, and smell whatever they find (that is safe to smell or see). I can provide approved treats or toys within my home, as well as my own tennis balls and frisbee. If your pet enjoys swimming, we can go to the lake and upon approval spend time there playing in the water.

I’m a full time student and a part time worker near my home. I can come back on lunch breaks to see the client’s pet as well as my husband can come home on his lunch breaks. My schooling is all done from the house, and so I will be home the majority of the time.
