Pet care experience

Providing dedicated full-time house sitting so your pets can stay comfortable, safe, and loved Animals have been a part of my life for over 15 years. I currently care for my two dogs, Sage, a Beagle, and Huey, a Yorkshire Terrier. Through the years, I have cared for dogs and cats for family, friends, and repeat clients, gaining experience with pets of different ages, sizes, personalities, and care needs. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel loved, secure, and at home while you're away. What makes my service different is that I offer dedicated full-time house sitting. I understand that many pets feel most comfortable when their routine stays consistent and they have companionship throughout the day. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I provide attentive care tailored to their needs. Full-time house sitting available ✅ Daily photo and video updates ✅ Experience with puppies and senior pets ✅ Comfortable administering medications ✅ Reliable, clean, and respectful of your home ✅ Flexible schedules I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining feeding schedules, administering basic medications, and providing extra attention to puppies, senior pets, or pets who experience separation anxiety. While you're away, I will keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

Linda had a wonderful time with Maria while I was away for several days. Maria took care of my dog as if she were her own, giving her lots of love, attention, and affection. Linda is a very high-energy and demanding dog, but Maria understood her needs perfectly and made sure she was happy and well cared for at all times. Every day, she took Linda for walks and brought her to the park to play fetch, which is absolutely Linda's favorite activity. I felt completely at ease knowing Linda was in such good hands. I would definitely book with Maria again in the future. Thank you so much for taking such great care of her!

After using Rover for almost 5 years now I can safely say that Maria has been the best I’ve met so far! She’s super loving, genuinely caring, transparent and a true dog lover. She not only followed Rio’s schedule but went over and beyond by getting treats and fruit for him when they got over. Maria even cleaned up the house and linens which she totally didn’t have to but it just shows how sincere she is. She treated my home like her own 💕 and sent regular updates and pictures which I appreciated so much since this was a longer trip … Rio looked so happy in them! As we got home and it was time for Maria to head out, Rio gave her so many kisses and even went looking for her in the guest room later in the night. I truly appreciate you Maria, you are really the best. Rio and I hope to meet you again soon :)

My dog had an amazing time with Maria. She is very lovely and took care of all needs of my dog. Linda enjoyed the visit to the dog park. I will rebook for sure.

This is our third time using María for house sitting and we will absolute continue using her in the future. She loves our dog like he’s her own. She is an amazing communicator and sends updates daily. She always leaves the house spotless (even better than how we left it!) and goes over and above taking care of our dog.
