Pet care experience

Caring for your pet like family

I have years of experience providing loving care for pets of all kinds, from energetic puppies to senior cats. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, grooming, or administering medication, I prioritize their happiness, health, and comfort. My approach is to treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’m also skilled at understanding individual pet needs and behaviors, so your furry friend will always be in good hands.

She took great care of my senior shih tzu and was very mindful of his health concerns.

We had a great experience with Maria watching Parker! She sent daily updates, texts, and photos, which gave us peace of mind and made us feel like he was getting the same love and attention he gets at home. Parker was very well taken care of and seemed to settle right in. She was incredibly responsive, caring, and attentive throughout his stay. We would absolutely recommend her and would trust her with Parker again!

Maria was amazing! We felt so confident in leaving our bot with her. We got great update pics and fast communication. My husband and I had many difficulties with our travel arrangements and Maria was very flexible and understanding.

House Sitting • May 26, 2026

Maria did a great job. We needed a last minute house sitter for our 2 German Shepherds, who are sweet but not low maintenance :). We came home to happy non-anxious doggos, and the house seemed in better shape than we left it. Thanks Maria!

Schedule

I’m a lovely and energetic person who works most of the time from home and like so much to travel so I prefer not have any pets myself but I love animals so much. I will care your pet as mine, caring them with kindness and love.

Safety, trust & environment

My condominium has a fenced yard on the backyard where the pets can play safely and interact with other pets in a controlled environment. Also I have a big open green area where walks are allowed.

A typical day

We can start with a fun walk to supply its needs and then play at the dog park on my condo or the park next to my building. After that, play at home,some games and some cuddles could make our day better.
