Because I run my own special education advocacy business, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable and attentive pet care throughout the week. My work gives me the ability to accommodate a variety of schedules, including daytime visits, overnight stays, weekends, and many holiday needs. I’m able to plan my schedule carefully so pets receive consistent care, attention, exercise, and companionship rather than rushed drop-ins. Flexibility also means I can better adapt to pets with specific routines, medication schedules, anxiety needs, or extra potty breaks.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets by focusing on keeping their routine as normal, comfortable, and stress-free as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, fresh water, meals on schedule, and affection based on their individual personality and needs. I understand that many pets feel safest in their familiar environment, so I try to maintain the routines they’re used to while also keeping the home clean, secure, and well cared for. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and energy levels so I can adapt care appropriately, whether a pet needs active play, mental stimulation, quiet companionship, or extra patience. My experience owning a reactive dog has made me especially mindful about creating calm interactions and respecting each animal’s comfort level and boundaries.

Information AnaMaria R. would like to know about your pet

Every pet is unique! Before a booking, I’d love to learn about your pet’s personality, routines, likes and dislikes, medical needs, and anything that helps them feel comfortable. Please share any special instructions, quirks, fears, or behaviors you’d like me to know so I can provide care that’s as close as possible to what they’re used to at home.

A typical day

I tailor activities to each pet’s age, energy level, and personality. Whether it’s walks around the neighborhood, games of fetch, enrichment activities, training reinforcement, or simply plenty of playtime and affection, my goal is to keep pets mentally stimulated and physically active. For senior pets or those who prefer a slower pace, I’m just as happy to provide companionship, gentle exercise, and lots of cuddles!

Pet care experience

One thing that sets me apart is my firsthand experience caring for a reactive dog of my own. That experience taught me how important patience, consistency, body language awareness, and calm handling are when working with dogs who may be anxious, overstimulated, fearful, or slow to trust new people. Because of that, I’m very mindful of creating a safe, low-stress environment where pets can feel comfortable at their own pace. I’m experienced with maintaining routines, managing different energy levels, and recognizing behavioral cues before situations become stressful. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, high-energy breeds, and pets who need extra patience or structure. I also know how important communication is to pet parents, so I provide reliable updates, photos, and detailed check-ins for peace of mind while you’re away.

Ana Maria was great with dogs. My dog Mia has special needs with medicine and her insulin shot. She did great with giving her the insulin shot and took great care of both dogs. I loved the feedback and the photos with each visit.

AnaMaria was wonderful! Great communication, very responsive, and took excellent care of my dog. Everything went smoothly, and I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog with her. I’d definitely book with her again!

Maria took excellent care of my babies and house. She provided daily updates with pictures. My house was left in perfect condition. I would definitely recommend her and will be using her for future visits.

AnaMaria has been coming by to play with our golden retriever while we are at work and she has been absolutely amazing!! She always sends plenty of photos and updates. Our dog is very high energy and she is so good with him and even brought over a tennis ball for him. Would highly recommend AnaMaria to care for your fur babies!
