Pet care experience

Loving and responsible pet sitter

Hello! My name is Maria and I’m currently retired living in Delray Beach. I grew up raising many different animals from chickens, homing pigeons,dogs and a cat as well. I am retired and do have a lot of time on my hands and can provide excellent care to your fur baby. We can go on walks and lots of play time. I live by myself and currently have no pets. So 100% of my attention will be on themZ

Thank you to Maria for watching our sweet Pepper! She is the BEST. I don’t worry for 1 second while we are away and I’m so grateful!

Maria is THE BEST. We have an anxious senior chihuahua who we have never left with someone since rescuing her a year ago and Maria made it so easy. She’s so good with animals and her home is so lovely, I just knew Pepper would be in good hands! We got updates every day and Pepper came home in great spirits and I knew she was loved the entire time we were gone. Can’t recommend her enough!!!

Thanks so much for taking care of Bruce and Winter! I know they can be a little rambunctious sometimes!

We’ve had Maria watch Daisy several times now and she always comes home happy! This time, Maria also watched my parents dog as well. She did an excellent job with both of the dogs and was awesome with making sure they got their medications. She sent us pictures every day. We highly recommend Maria! 🩷

Maria is a very kind person you can tell as soon as you meet her. She took great care of my dog at my house for a week. I would certainly recommend and use her again in the future. Thank you, Maria.

Maria is FANTASTIC. Maria communicates beautifully and was so easy to talk to about Kazak’s specific needs. She did an incredible job attuning to him, keeping me updated, and making sure he was happy and relaxed. Maria house-sat for Kazak, and the experience was so great that I’ve already booked her again for December! I highly recommend her — don’t hesitate to contact Maria!
