Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and a doggy door. I have a friendly 3-year-old Shih Tzu that will keep your pet company but also understands if your pet does not want to play. I can crate pets as needed but I usually let pets free roam. Your pet is welcome to sit on my couch and relax! When I visit your home I will meticulously follow any instructions you leave to take care of your pets. I can clean litter boxes, administer medicine, feed your pet, walk your pet, etc. and most importantly they will receive deserved love and attention!

Information Maryela P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any special care your pet may need. Leave a detailed list with the food times they eat and the quantity in each feeding. Please leave detailed instructions for any medications.

A typical day

At my home, I have a ball pit I set up for pets to play in. My dog Morgi is a great companion and loves making new friends. She is really great at understanding when other dogs want to be left alone and she will go and take a nap instead. I love playing with dogs and their toys. Getting some exercise and playtime in the fenced backyard is also a great time.

Tailored Care for Your Furry Friend

Pet care experience

My name is Maryela and I have always been a huge animal lover. I have been surrounded by pets my entire life. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, turtles, fish, rabbits, guinea pigs, and other rodents. I have been very fortunate to care for very young animals and those that are in senior stages of their lives. Regardless of their age, all animals have unique needs when being cared for. My empathic nature is well aligned with caring for animals. I know how hard it can be on us to be away from our furry family members so rest assured I will care for them as if they were my own. I know how important it is to get those daily pictures when we are apart from our pets. I also understand how hard it is on our furry friends when we are apart from them and so being extra understanding of their emotional needs is a top priority for me!

My dad's two dachshunds were with Maryela for two weeks and were well cared for! We received daily updates and would use her services again in the future.

Maryela was great. My dog seemed very happy when I picked him up. It was short and sweet stay! I would definitely use her again.

Maryela is by far, a very good sitter. She updates me daily about my puppy. My dog loves being there. I have used her services twice so far. And she does not dissapoint. I will continue to choose her for my puppy.
