Safety, trust & environment

Caring for animals is second nature to me — I’ve looked after dogs, cats, and small pets of all kinds, and I have a chihuahua mix of my own who thrives on structure, love, and daily exercise. I focus on building strong, quality relationships with both fur babies and families. Whether your pet loves belly rubs, playtime, sniff-filled adventures, or calm companionship, I tailor each visit to what they need most. I aim to help bridge the gap while you’re away, keeping routines consistent and pets comfortable until you return home. Trust and connection are at the heart of my approach, along with reliability, safety, clear communication, and thoughtful transparency. My goal is to provide personalized care that feels familiar and genuine.

Information Maria A. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your fur babies have certain behaviors or needs that I need to be mindful of to ensure I give them the best experience.

A typical day

I will provide exercise whether that’s a brisk walk, backyard play or sniffing adventures. I will give lots of pets, lap time and belly rubs. Pretty much any activity that makes them happy and comfortable.

Pet care experience

Hey there! I have over three years of experience in the pet sitting industry and plenty of hands-on time caring for fur babies all across the East Metro Atlanta area. I also have a fur baby of my own, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’m big on attention to detail and love getting to know each fur friend’s personality — whether they’re full of energy, a little shy, or just want extra love and snuggles. I’ve worked with pets of all kinds and always tailor my care so they feel safe, happy, and right at home. You can count on me to treat your fur babies like family, with patience, consistency, and a whole lot of heart!

We couldn’t be happier with Maria! We have an 11-week-old puppy — so basically a tiny, chaotic bundle of energy and uncertainty — and Maria was an absolute dream. She took her time, never rushed, and got right into the pen to play with him like she’d known him forever. She took the time to really understand what we needed, asked the right questions, and then executed everything perfectly. You could tell she genuinely loves dogs and isn’t just going through the motions. Our little guy was happy, tired, and clearly well-loved by the end of it. If you have a young pup and want someone patient, caring, and totally trustworthy — book Maria. We already have. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Maria has a beautiful spirit and you can tell she has an enormous love for animals 😊 She is very patient with my rambunctious Boxer 🐶 and he looks forward to their walks.

Maria was wonderful with our Malti-Peke. He can be a bit finicky, but she quickly won him over—she truly is a dog whisperer! Maria is always on time, has a warm and engaging personality, and clearly cares deeply about the dogs she works with. I highly recommend her. 🐾
