Pet care experience
Food. Water. & Dogs are all I need!
Hello! I'm Maura. Read the following to gather an idea of my services🙂 *Check calendar for availability* **Boarding: I can accept 2 dogs, but they both cannot be large breeds as I don’t have the space for it. But I could do 1 large and 1 smaller. Or I can do 2 smaller breeds !** I have also moved homes so I unfortunately do not have a yard anymore. BUT I do have a lake across from my house and a very very nice dog park !!! So still plenty of activity to do in my vicinity, just not connected to my home! ABOUT ME: I am 30 years old and I really do love dogs more than anything. Well, all animals really. I will love and take care of your baby as if he/she was my own baby girl Gaia. My pup sleeps on my bed. I also know how to be around scared or nervous dogs(not aggressive). Im not pushy when it comes to meeting a dog for the first time. I wait for them to be comfortable. I like walking and hanging outside. I've had multiple dogs in my home since the day I was born. I've been walking/ taking care of neighbors/friends dogs since I was 13. I have been professionally caring for animals for 10 years. I also have fostered dogs and a litter of puppies from rescues. I have potty trained puppies along with commands. My 1st pup I rescued myself had horrible anxiety so I do have some personal experience with anxious dogs as well as professional. I have experience with elderly dogs as well and sick dogs. And I am comfortable with giving medications if needed. I also cannot be at the house 24/7, i have to be able to leave a couple times a day to take care of my own dog. Lastly, this is my full time job, taking care of all the pets! So I do hope to see yours soon ! IF YOUR CHOOSING HOUSE SITTING: to have me come and stay in your home and take care of your animals: I am reliable and will make sure your home is left in good condition. As well as keeping the animals happy & fed obviously! I make sure to clean up after myself and the animals. I won’t bring anyone into your house. I am respectful of other homes. I do think for certain dogs it is safer for them staying at home and that is totally understandable. I am happy to keep them happy and keep them on their normal routine to the best of my ability. I’ve never had any issues staying in a dogs home. They have all welcomed me with open paws! I would love if my dog could come with me for obvious reasons, but it also allows me to be at the house more with all of them together. This is not a 100% requirement, but if my dog is allowed to come I can offer a discount. I also house sit cats as well if you need. IF YOUR CHOOSING BOARDING: I do not live in a house with a yard anymore. I am in an apartment, but we have a really nice dog park and a lake and a walking trail ! So still plenty of things to do here. Me and Gaia will welcome your pup with open paws into our home. I do this full time so me and Gaia won’t be going anywhere while your pup is with us. Dogs will be separated when I need to leave the house for errands though. I can bathe the dogs before handing them back to you, as long as your dog is comfortable with that! And dogs must be potty trained for boarding !

Ratings and reviews
Maura was great! We take care of some feral cats, and she followed our instructions perfectly without any issues. She kept us updated throughout our trip, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Would absolutely book Maura again and highly recommend her!
Maura always takes such great care of our kitties!


Maura was great as always, our dogs are always happy and taken care of as well as our home! She keeps us updated with piece of mind by sending pictures everyday while we are out. Highly recommend Maura anytime you might need help with your fur babies.



Really appreciate the care you took with Graycie!

Maura took care of my cat for weeks at a times, and she even used the leash and harness to take him out in my yard. Excellent gal!

Maura always takes such great care of our kitties! We hadn’t left in a while and she picked it up like the last time was yesterday. Highly recommend!

Schedule
MY PET CARE I am taking care of animals full time! This is my job, but my schedule changes week to week. Just depends on the animals I’m caring for. I do appreciate, the more notice you can give me for a stay the better! I can’t always accept last minute requests because my schedule can fill up. I work every day of the week & year, but I usually cant do visits before 8 AM. But you’re welcome to ask as sometimes I can. And I don’t do visits past 10:00PM

Safety, trust & environment
SAFETY, TRUST, ENVIRONMENT I always give pets the best care I am capable of! I too have to feel like I can keep your pet safe. So I don’t put myself & pets in situations that could be dangerous for us.(ex. Dogs that are too strong & unpredictable on leash) I’m also very vigilant while walking dogs. I’m not going to take your pet up to other dogs on leash. I’m also very vigilant when leaving out of doors. I’ve been doing this for 10 years now so you can trust I have experience! Your pet will be in good hands. Thats why I have to do meet and greets before confirming any new pet. I won’t let any dogs off leash, ever. If your dog is in my home me and Gaia are very sweet hosts! Your pet will get plenty of love, exercise, & safety no matter where I am watching them!
Pets
A typical day
I love walks I think It helps with anxiety and trust. We have an awesome dog park here, a walking trail(if you’re comfortable with that) and a lake across from my home ! I have a safe neighborhood. My bed is open for night cuddles. And we have tons of toys as long as your dog knows how to play with toys. If I’m in your home, the activities will look similar. It will just be in your yard and your neighborhood! I'm here to make your dog or cat a comfortable camper! I love to take care of animals, they are so loyal to so many of us. They deserve all the love & cuddles!
