🐾 FULL-Time Pet Caregiver 🐶
Pet care experience
Don't let my lower prices fool you! I am only new to Rover and want to allow pet parents to try me and see the amazing benefit of booking through me. I have a background working at an upscale pet hotel and experience caring for others' pets while working from home for over 10 years, but I have decided to dedicate myself to doing it 100% full-time (hence being new to the site). I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, breeds, personalities, and temperaments. I've converted my home into a little pet retreat for your pups to have an experience they will keep wanting to return :). Working at the pet hotel was great since I was surrounded by many furry pals, and trust me I am grateful for having the opportunity to learn much more but it made me very sad seeing how your pet just became a number the moment they were checked in. If you want them to play or have extra potty breaks, those would be considered "add-ons" and would be charged extra and it would be on the company's schedule, not the pups. I was a night attendant so I would sneak into every room and give our guests extra love and comfort, but knowing if I got caught I'd be in trouble was very heartbreaking and frustrating. Now I strive to be the 1 in a million sitter who goes above and beyond for your pets, as I would want for my own. I am passionate about providing quality care for your pets in a home environment where your loved ones are most comfortable. Your furry friends will be provided with a comforting, fun, and safe environment tailored to their specific needs. I know I am not the only one who wants the absolute best for my pups, so I am here to give that care you are looking for, and more! A few points about myself: Reliable: I will be on time and follow your instructions. Trustworthy: I care for your fur babies as if they were my own ❤ Experienced: I have years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds and temperaments in my own home and at a high-end pet hotel. Patient: I understand that dogs can have different personalities so will patient with your fur babies. I take things very slow for those pups that have high anxiety or do not like new things. I always foster positive reinforcement during their stays and will always make them feel comfortable. Communicative: I will keep you updated on your dog’s progress with pictures and videos and let you know if there are any concerns, or just let you know how much fun they’re having! Flexible: I understand the importance of following directions when it comes to feeding, medications and general care for your pets. I am always able to accommodate special requests. I also am very flexible with pick-up/drop-off times as long as there's proper communication made in advance.
Reviews
Maritza was a great sitter for my dog’s first ever daycare. I was very nervous with how he was going to be in another environment, but Maritza made him feel super comfortable and made sure his needs were met. She sent updates throughout the day and really made his stay lots of fun! I really appreciate her flexibility and am looking forward to future daycare stays with her!
Maritza never disappoints! Love all the updates and how much love she shows my Bella. Will always continue to book, definitely recommend for all your pet needs!
Jax loved his day care stay!
Maritza is wonderful, she is so kind and good with a nervous dog at daycare for the first time ever, and her equally nervous dog mom. She sent so many photos and videos and my girls really looked like they were happy and well looked after!

Safety, trust & environment
Your pets' safety and well-being are my utmost priority. In my clean and secure home, dogs are always supervised. I have multiple cameras around the home for added security. -I have 2 friendly huskies that love to meet new pups and will keep them entertained. Meeko (7yrs/male/neutered) acts more like a big cat most of the time. He loves his long naps and loves some butt scratches! Layla (5yrs/female/spayed) is a character. She still acts like a pup and loves to play all day long! They are great at reading the energy of the incoming pup and will adjust their energy, which makes them great companions! I will stick to your usual routines, rules, feedings, meds, and keep up with any training. My main goal is to ensure your pet is safe happy, healthy, and well cared for for a stress-free stay! I have a dedicated Pet Room for extra added space which can be used for a private stay. The spacious room has its own private entrance for fur pals who need or prefer their own space. Let's connect and see if I can be a good fit for your fur babies!

Information Maritza J. would like to know about your pet
*Proof of up-to-date vaccines is required before Booking*. At minimum, I require pups be up to date with their Rabies, Bordetella and DHPP (also referred to DAPP or DA2PP) vaccines, unless otherwise advised against by their vet due to health concerns. I often care for young puppies, which are more susceptible to diseases so I try to be strict about having proof of vaccinations before accepting bookings for everyone’s health and wellbeing (including my own pups). Please do not reach out if you are not prepared to send these records. Please do not bring pups showing any signs of a cough or any other kind of illness. All breeds, ages, and sizes are welcome, as long as they show no sign of aggression to ensure the safety of all. Meet and Greets are preferred before the pet's first booking and required for overnight bookings for more than 1 night. I'd like to know your pet's temperament, feeding schedule, known commands, and special quirks. Does your pet have any specific needs, such as allergies, needing more frequent potty breaks due to health or age, or any behaviors that may help me to better understand how to care for them? What's their favorite thing to do (and their least favorite)? Favorite toy? Do they have any rules or training you'd like for me to keep up with while they are staying with me?
A typical day
Each day is filled with fun, friendship, and mental stimulation to ensure that dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds are happy, entertained, and exercised. They will have good ole fun outside in the yard with romp and play. There are many toys and activities to choose from. During the summer heat, we have a doggie pool where the pups can enjoy some splashing. There's lots of shade and raised beds if they want to take a little break. Inside they have plenty of fun toys to play with and I offer treat puzzles, stuffed Kongs, lick mats, and other enrichment activities to keep them mentally engaged. Depending on availability, I'm happy to take your pups on a walk if they need additional exercise.

After working many years in the corporate world, I've decided to do what I do best and care for fur babies 100% of the time. This was the greatest decision I've made as I am much happier being surrounded by smiling grins, tapping paws, and wagging tails. This is what I was meant to do! Due to this, I am fully available to take care of your pups without any interruptions! Playing, loving, petting, praising, feeding, training, treating, and cuddling is what my itinerary consists of 24/7. My schedule is very flexible and I’m happy to accommodate you and your furry companions as best as possible.
