Hi, my name is Maritza. My family and I are a loving household of five now, 3 kids, my husband and I. (April our sweet daughter crossed the rainbow bridge on April 13 at the age of 12) I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, having cared for dogs, and cats over the years. My love for animals is deeply and they have always been a significant part of my daily life. My husband works three days a week in Belleville and spends the remaining two days working from home. I am currently a stay home mom, so one of us is always home with your pup. Our home is designed to provide a secure, clean, and welcoming environment. We offer personalized attention, engaging playtime, socialization, and plenty of fresh air. Our fully fenced backyard is divided into two sections one with natural grass and the other with synthetic grass allowing dogs to choose the surface they prefer. Most of the time I only accept “One dog at a time” for boarding or two if they are from the same family because I believe in providing the highest level of personalized care. By focusing on just one pup, I can ensure they receive my full attention, a stress free environment, and the individualized care they deserve. This approach allows me to cater to their unique needs, maintain a calm and comfortable atmosphere, and create a truly positive experience for all of us.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Inside, our home is spacious, allowing dogs to move freely between rooms. We believe in providing a comfortable and home like experience, so we do not use crates unless specifically requested by owners. We want every dog to feel at ease and as if they are part of our family. Our Neighborhood!! We live in a beautiful, clean/safe neighborhood with scenic walking paths and numerous trails. Beautiful roads and parks. We are also close to the Soaring Eagle Forest Trail, which we visit pretty often with April. Additionally, several trails connect our neighborhood to others, providing plenty of opportunities for exploration. I’ll keep you updated with daily pictures or videos so you can stay connected with your pet while you’re away. Potty Trained Dogs Only: To maintain a clean and stress-free environment, I only accept potty-trained dogs.

Information Maritza V. would like to know about your pet
To ensure everyone’s health and peace of mind, I only accept pups who have their vaccinations up to date. Also, please let me know about any preferences, special needs, medications, or allergies your pup might have in advance. This allows me to prepare accordingly and provide the highest level of attention and care. I look forward to welcoming your furry family member into our home!
A typical day
I will take them on daily walks, play with them in our backyard ensuring that any dog in my care receives plenty of fresh air and exercise. We prioritize providing each pet with the love, attention, and appropriate level of activity they need to feel comfortable and happy. As a family, we are passionate about the outdoors and frequently hike, explore nearby forests, and visit local lakes, including Lake Sammamish, Pine Lake, and Beaver Lake. Any dog staying with us becomes part of our family and is welcome to join in our adventures. I will send you lots of pictures and videos of their stay, with a description of how your pup is doing under my care.. please forgive me if I send too many ❤️🥰.

Reviews

Maritza is fantastic. She took such good care of my dog. Bosa enjoyed daily walks and much love from Maritza and her family. Thanks Maritza.

Maritza is amazing! Our dog had the best time with her and she was well loved and cared for. She treated our dog like part of her family! She sent lots of photos and updates each day. She was also very flexible with pickup time when our flight was delayed. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Maritza. I don't think our dog was ready to come home because she loved staying with Maritza!

I can't express how amazing Maritza was with my yellow lab! she took her on multiple walks a day, updated me at least twice a day, and had a great backyard and neighborhood to take her for walks on. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her family. she was very loved while she was there!

I felt my pup Cali was in great hands after meeting Maritza and talking to her about her care style. She kept in constant communication and sent lots of updates with pictures. I really appreciated her care and attention to taking good care of my pup while I was gone for a night. I’ll definitely use her again. Thank you!
