We ONLY watch your pets at a time!

Pet care experience

I’m Maria and I want to make sure you and your pet get an awesome one-on-one, one of a kind experience boarding with me! We are known for just watching your pets, and JUST YOUR pets at a time —which sets us aside from all local sitters who group tons together! 🐶 I’m a young homeowner right next to Redondo beach and I take pride in being the local dog watcher in my community! I have a special knack for taking care of your dog/dogs and here’s what sets me apart! •We get that not all dogs get along. •We don’t group other peoples’s pets together to avoid fights, lack of attention, or dominant dogs taking food or attention for profit. • I only take 1, 2, or 3 of your babies (only from same family) at a time to ensure safety! • One-on-one care! No dogs from other clients taking away attention from your pup. • Individual, specialized care. • Tons of experience with rescue’s and anxious dogs! • Experience with meds, special needs, and dogs who need extra attention. • No children or other pets in the home. • Frequent potty breaks! My 19 year old sister and I make sure of that! • Safe environment, clean home. • Good communication/updates/photos • Your pets aren’t gonna be alone! I’m here to keep them company and be there for them with my flexible schedule. • No keeping doggos locked in a kennel for hours like doggy day cares! They’re our family in the home and I make sure they know it (: •Offer regular client rates •Restock toys and treats every month 🙌🏼🌼🐶 •Your pets are on their own vacation lol 😂 **And if you want your dogs socialized, let me know and we can mix stays with your request and permission! I’m here to treat your dog like my own family without the hassle of hoarding a bunch of pets or kids into one house! No toddlers or strangers poking at your pet, no keeping your dog locked up in a kennel, no problems! Whether you have a dog who’s a little anxious, an older more mature pet, a dog with special needs, or just a regular excited pup who needs more time for attention/walks/play, I’m willing to make sure they have my undivided attention and a great stay here as if it’s their own home! We’ve boarded over 100 pets in the last couple of years and proud of the bonds we’ve created both with you and your fur babies. __________________________________ I myself have had dogs in the past and have been dogsitting since I was 12 years old (my first official job)! I’m now 24 years old and just bought my own house on the beach. With extra spare time and being a homeowner, I love the companionship and the amazing experiences that come with dog sitting! __________________________________ PERKS: -I live walking distance to the dog park on 1st Ave, walking distance to Redondo beach, quarter acre yard, have lots of fun dog toys, dogs are fine on bed and furniture! *I’m a waitress part time so I don’t have a set schedule, this means I’m pretty flexible and can work out something that works for both of us! Feel free to ask me if you need help with ANYTHING and I’ll try my hardest to help!

Maria is awesome! She is everything we want in a sitter - clean home, communicative, playful with our dogs, and all around kind person. We cannot recommend her enough.

Awesome doggy sitter! Excellent with communication, and let’s you know everything about your pups without constant messages. She definitely got the grasp of our pup’s personalities and was very patient with our other dog who is skiddish but she ended up warming up to her in just 3 days. We love her and her efforts, definitely the GO-TO doggy sitter!

Words cannot express my gratitude! My cats had an amazing experience, as well did I. Maria is not only pet friendly she is people perfect. She sent videos, pictures and sent me messages, letting me know how my girls where doing. This was my first time using Rover and I was so stressed out! All my worries disappeared after our first meet and greet. I highly recommend Maria.

This was our second time having Maria watch our 2 cats! She is so easy to work with and my two kitties are so happy in her home while we are away! She always updates us and is so accommodating for drop off and pick up times! Highly recommend Maria as your pet sitter ❤️

A typical day

Long story short I’m kind of a dog whisperer. Looking forward for some nice walks along the boardwalk and up the hill of Redondo beach! I’m also interested in the off leash dog park that’s a mile from my house and I love hanging out and exploring! Oh and don’t be surprised if your baby comes home with new tricks! I love teaching! If they aren’t active dogs, I’m never gonna leave them alone by themselves or a kennel, I wanna make sure you’re happy and they’re happy when they go home! They can enjoy our furniture and toys and pretend they’re on a retreat lol
