About Maria

Hi, 

We’re Maria and Leon — lifelong dog lovers who believe every pup deserves to feel safe, loved, and cared for like family.

We’ve shared our lives with a Chihuahua, a Corgi, a mixed breed, and a Maltipoo, and we know that every dog has their own rhythm, needs, and personality. Some love long walks and playtime, while others prefer quiet company and cuddles. We take the time to get to know each dog before caring for them so they feel comfortable and understood.

Because we live in an apartment and Maria works full-time during the week, we’ve chosen not to have a dog of our own right now. We believe it wouldn’t be fair to bring one home if we couldn’t give them the time and attention they deserve. But if we could, we’d have one in a heartbeat! So we’ve made it our mission to give that love to yours.

Daily care and routines:

We stick to your dog’s regular schedule: feeding times, walks, and routines, so they feel stable and calm. We love taking long, safe walks through local parks or quiet streets, always keeping dogs on-leash unless we’re in a secure, owner-approved area. We’re attentive to signs of stress or excitement and use gentle, reassuring commands to help every dog feel at ease.

Safety & home setup:

When caring for dogs in our apartment, we create a calm, cozy environment with plenty of space to rest and play. We make sure all doors and windows are secure, and we never leave dogs unattended. We also prefer sitting in your home when possible so your dog can stay in familiar surroundings and keep their usual routines.

We’ve cared for dogs of all ages and health conditions, including those recovering from illness or injury. We understand how important it is to follow specific feeding routines, administer medication, and support mobility through gentle exercise or basic physio activities. We approach every dog with patience, love, and respect because we know how much trust it takes to let someone else care for your furry family member.

Whether you need a walker, a weekend sitter, or someone to stay while you’re away, we’ll treat your dog like part of our family with love, safety, and genuine attention.
