I offer lots of ❤️ for Cats & Dogs!

Pet care experience

I will give your fur baby the attention he/she needs, send you updates and pics, and love your pet as if it were my own! I have cared after my friends’ and co-workers’ fur babies for the past 10 years and would love to care for your cat and dog children too! I have experience with both puppies and older dogs as well as cats. I have also watched rabbits and geckos. I have worked with a variety of dog breeds. I offer 30 min drop in visits, 60 min drop in visits , and 30 min dog walks all for a very reasonable price. I can also administer meds, if needed, for no additional cost. I am very flexible during evenings, nights, weekends, and holidays. If interested in my services, please message me for more details!

I will be happy to stay at the clients house but I do not watch pets in my own home. I have two cats of my own who enjoy their privacy.

Information Maria R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there are any behavioral issues. Is your pet good with other dogs , cats, people? Explain your pet’s personality. Is your pet an escape artist? Does your pet need medication , any special instructions? Any allergies? Make sure to give me emergency contact information and vet information for your pet.

A typical day

I will work with the dogs and cats individually depending on their personality. I play with dogs and cats with toys, walk dogs around to explore new smells or listen to dog or cat music on you tube to relax him or her. I also practice tricks and carry training treats along with me on walks. Let me know if you prefer me to use your treats instead. I provide my own bags for messes and I can provide you with a leash or harness for your dog if you use me regularly for your dog walking needs.
