About Maria A.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
When asked to pet sit I don’t just stop by to check in but also take the time to give them the attention they deserve, whether it’s giving them pets or simply throwing a ball.
Information Maria A. would like to know about your pet
I’m happy to adjust to any specific needs of your pet. My partner is also a veterinarian and is able to provide me guidance if needed!
A typical day
I love enrichment toys, such a puzzle bowls or balls. I also enjoy playing fetch, tug-o-war, or just going for a “sniff” walk. I even taught my own cat to play fetch (now her favorite game).

Pet care experience
When looking at restaurants most people look to see if there’s outdoor seating, I look to see if it’s pet friendly. I’ve been around and working with dogs my whole life. I currently live in a house full of fur babies (3 dogs and 2 cats). I’m currently training one of our dogs to be our hiking dog on extended camping trips. Another one of our dogs is my running companion. My partner is also a veterinarian, so I have constant exposure to animals with medical and advanced needs.
Cat care experience
Maria also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Maria is great and very communicative. I’d have her watch my pups anytime!
Maria was a fantastic house and dog sitter! She kept us updated with tidbits on their days and sent pictures everyday. Very clearly the dogs had a great time and were very well cared for. She was also willing to give one of our dogs medication, as needed. Communication was great and we will definitely be reaching back out to her when we travel in the future! :)
Maria took great care of Thunder and sent us pictures and updates throughout the stay. Highly recommend!
Maria took great care of our kitties while we were out of town. She played with them every day and gave them love.
