Your pets second happy loving home!

Pet care experience

Hello Fellow Dog Lovers! Here is your baby's retreat. I am playful, extremely attentive and loving. With a background of caring for all sorts of animals growing up on farmland, then later owning my own K9's here in NY, I am knowledgeable to the nature of your pet. Comforting your pet is priority to me, as I have a passion for keeping them happy and healthy. Apart from my extended experience in caring for dogs within my friends and family (up to four at a time), I have also volunteered in finding happy homes for a few. It would be ideal if your dog is house trained. Any small to medium breed is welcomed. I have no breed preferences. I love them all the same! All I need to know is if your dog has any medical needs or particular habits. I have no problem administering medical attention. Applying shots... I would be a bit worried, but if you can clearly instruct me on what should be done, then that would be great! I enjoy walking them 3 times a day Available Friday night to Sunday evening. Your pet will be pampered, loved, and with family. I want your dog to feel as comfortable as possible. My apartment is spacious so there are plenty of comfortable spaces to choose from. Your dog would either sleep in my bedroom (on my bed or their own) or my living room. If your dog decides to sleep in the living room, I would accompany him/her during the night. No dogs should be sleeping alone! If you have a bed that they love, please feel free to include it during your pet's stay! I can assure you that your baby will be in trusted hands. TEXT or E-MAIL updates/ photos will be sent throughout their stay. $45 Per day and $65 per night for each pet. References are available upon request! Why I love dog sitting I have had a passion and love for animals since as far as I can remember. They are funny, smart, and full of love to give. They keep me active, happy, and on my toes. They are like children to me. They count on us to be there for them for all of their needs and I LOVE that because I am very nurturing. My children are all grown up and out living their lives and ever since furry babies in a different yet similar way fill that void and nurturing side of me. Its grandma Maribel's house to them!! and I love it:) My experience administering medication I am completely fine administering medication with the instructions and permission from parents.

Maribel was amazing with my pup Parker so much so he was exhausted when he returned home. She was prompt and took the best care of Parker. She kept sending me updates and pics, which I totally appreciated. I would highly recommend.

Maribel watched my Ginny on a last minute reservation. As a Rover provider and a dog lover Maribel totally put my mind at ease. She was kind and her pup was such a good dog with my Ginny. I am so thankful I found her and will definitely be booking with her again!

Excellent!!! My dog was well taken care of and treated as if it was her own dog. Maribel sent me pictures and it looked as if my dog was on vacation also which made me comfortable knowing she was in good hands.

My dog Brandy had a wonderful stay with Maribel. She sent many pic's and updates through out the day. Only problem may be your dog may not want to leave her...Highly recommended..

Information Maribel V. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know before anything of any allergies, diet requirements. I would also like to know his or her likes and dislikes and routine they might be used to or sleeping and eating habits. His or her favorite games .

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks I don't have a yard unfortunately. I do prefer to walk them on leash through out the quiet streets..This way i can better monitor them and not take any chances of them accidently getting into any trouble. This is a very pet friendly neighborhood many of the neighborhood dogs become friends after a few introductions. Your dog's sleeping arrangement They are welcome to either sleep with me on my bed or in my bedroom in their own bed if that is what they prefer. You can bring their favorite blanky or bed and toy...to make them feel more at ease and at home. Time I'll spend with your dog I am home all day ... since i do work from home. In any case unless i have to run to the market which is across the street from me they will only be left for a max of 30 min.
