Pet care experience
Maria & Pawfect Pet Care
Hi, I’m Maria! 🐾 I’ve spent the last 15 years caring for my own dogs and also volunteered at a veterinary clinic for three years. During that time, I learned how to handle special needs, like giving medications and managing dietary restrictions. I’ve also helped train puppies and cared for senior dogs with lots of patience and love. For me, every pet is family, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy.

Ratings and reviews
Mavis loves her weekly walks with Maria. Maria takes great care of her and is super flexible if I need to add an extra walk during the week
Maria is great with my two dogs and they love her. She has been able to even assist with giving my senior dog his insulin.
I can’t say enough good things about Maria! She took such wonderful care of my dog Banjo while I was away, and it gave me complete peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. Maria is responsible, attentive, and truly loves animals you can see it in the way Banjo lit up. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which made me feel connected even from afar. I highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. Banjo and I are both so grateful!😊
Maria was an absolute joy to work with. She is very easy to get along with. Caring and sincere. She was willing to help me as a last minute sitter for my dog and I was so greatful. Not only did we love her but so did my dog. This young lady is absolutely amazing. So friendly. Thank you Maria for helping us out the way you did. We really appreciated it on such short notice. We can't wait to see you again.
I can’t say enough good things about the care my dog Minnie received. Minnie can be a little shy at first, but she warmed up and clearly felt safe and loved with Maria. Every walk and visit was done with genuine care and attention—whether it was a short check-in or a longer stay, I always came home to a happy, well-exercised pup. I especially appreciated the regular updates and little photos that showed when Minnie did a new trick or just when she looked extra cute for the camera.It gave me peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Reliable, kind, and truly passionate about animals is what I would use to describe Maria—highly recommend!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I provide care in your pet’s own home—where they feel safest and most comfortable—or in ours, where they’ll have a welcoming, loving space to relax. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, an all-day stay, or overnight boarding in our home, we make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. We always stick to their usual routine—feeding, potty breaks, and any special needs like medications or specific care instructions—so they feel happy, secure, and loved no matter where they are.
Pets
A typical day
Whether we’re walking your dog, spending the day sitting, or providing overnight boarding, we always make sure their needs come first. Walks are tailored to your pup’s energy level—whether that’s a brisk power walk or a relaxed sniff-and-stroll. We keep water, treats (if allowed), and plenty of praise on hand at all times. If we’re sitting in your home or ours, your dog gets plenty of playtime, cuddles, and routine—mealtimes, bathroom breaks, and downtime are all managed with consistency. Overnight stays in our home mean a safe, cozy environment where your pup can feel relaxed and cared for, with late-night potty breaks and lots of love. We’ll also keep you updated with photos and notes so you always know how your dog is doing. With us, your pet will be safe, happy, and treated like family!
