Highlights
Pet care experience
Hi! I'm dog walker & sitter!
Hi, I'm Maria! I adore dogs and cats! I've been walking and sitting dogs for over 13 years and a professional pet photographer for 8 years. I grew up with lots of cats and dogs, and I volunteered at an animal hospital while in college. Today, I have a friendly female creme Shiba Inu, Lula. I offer 1/2-hour or full-hour dog walks and pets sitting in the Whitestone and Beechhurst areas of Queens. I will take your puppy to the park for a stroll, a dog park or just around your area - whatever you prefer. Dogs in my trust for walks are NEVER left alone or unsupervised. I always "clean up" after dogs in my care and keep them on the leash unless, with your permission, we go to a secure fenced dog park. Whatever your instructions I will make sure they are followed exactly as you request. I'm a punctual, responsible, and respectful person who loves dogs. I will take good care of your puppy as if they were my own. I will make sure they feel comfortable and receive plenty of attention and affection during their stay with me!

Ratings and reviews
Maria was absolutely wonderful with Elie! She stayed in her home for 8 days while I was away on vacation, and I felt completely at ease the entire time. Maria sent multiple daily updates along with photos, which made me feel connected and reassured. Elie was clearly well cared for, happy, and comfortable throughout her stay. I truly appreciate the level of attention and love Maria gave her, and I would be happy to have Elie stay with her again in the future. Highly recommend!
Maria was amazing. She cared for my dog like he was her own. She had great communication and kept me informed on all his behaviors
Mariya is wonderful with my dogs, very reliable, and a pleasure to work with in the care of my fur babies.
Maria is reliable, communicates appropriately, and is always happy to see my dogs.
Maria did a great job walking my dogs. She quickly developed a nice rapport with them, and I know Lucky loved his longer walks to the park, and Harley her short walks.
Maria is the Best, very patient & attentive with our dog.

Schedule
As a lifelong owner of dogs and cats, providing a consistent schedule of daily care, feeding, walks, and affection comes naturally to me and my schedule.
