Safety, trust & environment

I have experience working with crate trained dogs and free roam dogs as well as trained and untrained dogs, and would make sure to continue your animal’s normal routines when caring for them in your home in order to make sure they are comfortable and well cared for. I think consistency with pets is important. I have also worked in animal hospitals for years and am currently applying to vet school.

Information Maya D. would like to know about your pet

It is important for me to know if your dog has any special needs, medical conditions, anxieties, medications, special instructions, allergies, or anything else that would affect their every day life. I have experience working with special needs animals such as cerebellar hypoplasia, as well as senior animals. I also have experience administering medications and injections so that is no problem at all.

A typical day

I know that mental and physical stimulation is really important for dogs. I would love to play with them, give them some love, and make their walks pleasant and exciting by keeping them engaged and burning some energy. I will go the pace that matches your dog’s temperament and respect their boundaries!

Maya did a great job with my 12 yr old lab! She walked him, helped him get up and down stairs and made sure he was taken care of. She sent me updates and pictures throughout the weekend

We had a last minute trip come up and Maya quickly responded to my booking request. She came by to meet my dogs and they instantly took to her. Plans changed several times and she took my multiple texts in stride. When we got home, everything was perfect and as we left it. Most importantly, the pups were happy!
