Love and Belly Rubs!!!!!!!

Hello! My name is Maribel! I am bilingual (English and Spanish), and I have 10 years of personal, as well as professional experience caring for dogs and cats. I lost my dog Brownie due to a heart attack, and I am not quite ready just yet to own another dog of my own. However, I find myself missing the companionship and company of Brownie, so I’m here offering my services to other lovable fur babies. I am available for overnight house sitting , dog walking, and drop in visits. I am a licensed massage therapist and I am also very big into health and fitness so I also welcome high-energy dogs that like to go for a run around the lake with me :-) I am available for last-minute emergency bookings.

This was our second time trusting Maribel with Bella and Choriza while we were away, and once again she was wonderful. She’s dependable and so thoughtful—regularly sending us updates and adorable photos that gave us total peace of mind during our trip. When we returned, both Bella and Chori were relaxed and happy, a clear sign they’d been cared for beautifully. We’re so thankful and wouldn’t hesitate to book Maribel again. Absolutely recommend her!

Maribel took excellent care of our dogs and our home. She kept us informed with photos while we were away and the house looked great when we got back! I would not hesitate to use Maribel again. Thanks for taking great care of our babies.

We left our dog, Obi, and our cat, Maya, in her care while we were on vacation, and everything went great. She was reliable, kind, and kept us updated with messages and photos, which really helped us relax while we were away. Both Obi and Maya seemed super comfortable and happy when we got back — it was clear they had been well looked after. We’re very grateful and would absolutely ask her to take care of them again. Highly recommended!

I couldn’t be happier with the care Maribel provided for my two pets, Maya and Obi. She was kind, patient, and extremely attentive to their needs. Maya is shy and Obi can be a bit unpredictable, but Maribel handled both of them with such love and understanding that I felt completely at ease while I was away. She kept me updated and I could tell they were comfortable and well cared for. Coming home to happy pets confirmed I made the right choice. I truly appreciate her dedication and would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommended!

Maribel was wonderful!!! She did a great job with Bingo (dog — pug/Boston terrier mix). He is afraid of new people, but took right to her and was comfortable with her presence. She sent photos and videos of Bingo over the weekend so I could see he was doing well, which I appreciate. I highly recommend Maribel.
