Caring for your pets like my own

Hi pet parent!! Im Maria and when i was 6 my family finally agreed to get a dog (after years of begging) and Coby, the cutest mini maltese, joined my family! Sadly we had to put him to sleep a couple of months ago because of an underlying heart condition : (!! Its still too soon for me to think about a new fur baby joining my family again so i would love to ease into it by walking or sitting dogs in need around my neighborhood!! Looking forward on meeting you pets!!

Maria was wonderful. I would highly recommend her. Wrigley felt at home. She was very accommodating to our schedule and communicated well.

Maria was fantastic. She kept me updated every day. She sent me multiple pictures each day. She took her multiple walks each day as well. My dog came back happy and relaxed I highly recommend. We will use her again!

Maria is such a great pet sitter! She treated our two dogs like her own, and sent regular updates and pics. I could clearly see from the pictures that our dogs were so comfortable and cared for during their stay with Maria. She is also very responsive and easy to get in touch with. Maria made the experience so smooth, we had no worries at all while we were away. I highly recommend her for your pet care needs!!!

Very thankful for Maria! My dog loves his time with her and I’m grateful how flexible she is. She always sends updates and lets me know about how my dog is doing. Highly recommend.

Safety, trust & environment

I have always had a deep love for dogs. I will provide a safe and comfortable environment for your fur babies and care for them as if they were my own!

A typical day

A typical day with me will be filled with plenty of attention, playtime, and care to make sure your pet feels happy and loved. We’ll start with a morning walk or play session to get some energy out. Then, depending on your pet’s needs, we can enjoy activities like fetch in the park, a stroll around the neighborhood, or interactive play indoors. I love keeping pets mentally engaged too, so we’ll have some puzzle toys or basic training exercises to keep things interesting. Of course, there will be plenty of cuddle breaks and treats (with your permission) to ensure your pet is comfortable and content throughout the day! Whether it’s a high-energy adventure or just relaxing together, I’ll tailor the day to suit your pet’s personality and needs.

Before watching your pet, it’s important for me to know their routine, energy level, and any special care they need. This includes their feeding schedule, medical needs (like medications or allergies), and how they get along with other pets or people. I’d also love to hear about their favorite toys, activities, and any quirks they might have, so I can provide the best experience tailored just for them. The more I know, the better I can ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy!
