About: Hi! I’m Maria — a registered nurse and lifelong animal lover 🐾 I know how stressful it can feel leaving your pet with someone new. My goal is to make that decision easy by providing safe, attentive, and genuinely loving care while you’re away. As a nurse, I bring a calm, detail-oriented approach to everything I do. I’m experienced in monitoring for changes, sticking to routines, and handling situations with care and confidence. Whether your pet needs medications, extra patience, or just lots of cuddles and playtime, I’ve got it covered. I’m comfortable with: • Puppies & senior pets • Medication administration (oral/topical) • Anxious or high-needs pets • Maintaining your pet’s normal routine What you can expect: • Frequent photo & video updates 📸 • Reliable communication • A clean, safe, and calm environment • Lots of love, attention, and exercise Your pet will be treated like family not just another booking. My background as a nurse reflects my attentiveness and responsibility, but I provide pet care services only (not veterinary or medical care). Feel free to reach out with any questions. I’d love to meet you and your furry friend! I work shift work so im very flexible on time or day of the week. I can be available morning, afternoon or evening when needed! We have a large yard where our dog plays in, she has high prey drive so im comfortable and familiar with keeping an eye on wanderers. She's crated when alone so Im comfortable crating dogs.

We are traveling in an RV Caravan trip with 24 RV’s and we needed a person to walk our dogs while we were away on an excursion. Janis agreed to meet us at our campground and she met our dogs and came back the next day to walk them. She walked four dogs in all and she did a great job and the dogs you could see enjoyed it from the pictures she sent! Highly recommended!

Philip was great! He communicated promptly, did a meet and greet and took great care of our Schnauzer girls. He was personable, professional and very caring. We would definitely recommend Philip to care for your dogs and would ask him to tp care for ours again. Thanks 1,000,000 Philip!
