Information Maria B. would like to know about your pet

I do not have a breed preference. However, I am interested to know their general temperament and any special issues that may require extra attention.

A typical day

I have a fenced-in backyard so your dog's safety is ensured. For active dogs, I have a "chuck-it" to play ball. I can take daily walks, if preferred. Or, just hang out with a senior.

Responsible & LOVING Pet Sitter !

Pet care experience

I owned a pet-sitting business when my kids were young, and established a strong clientele. I sincerely love animals, big and small. I have been a long-term foster for Maricopa County, and a proud volunteer at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, UT. I work from home, so have plenty of time to spend with your pet. My home has a fenced yard, and I don't have any pets of my own. After my dog passed away, I began fostering which is a satisfying experience, but takes an emotional toll. My experience ranges from administering meds, going for walks or just snuggling on the couch ! I am comfortable with complex diets and finicky personalities!

Maria is amazing! She kept us updated on our pups stay and they seemed very happy. They got a lot of attention, which they love! We definitely felt at ease with Maria caring for our little furry family members. Definitely going to be a repeat 😊

Maria was amazing! Having someone babysit my dog for the first time in seven years was a bit stressful for me (our dog is very much a key part of our family), but from the moment my dog & I met Maria, she made us very comfortable in knowing that I could leave my baby with someone who would take great care of her. My dog was the only one that Maria was babysitting, so her entire focus was on taking care of my baby. She ensured my dog had regular walks, playtime, & also administered the oral medication that is required each day. Maria also provided daily updates, including photos & videos, & was always very responsive to all of my messages to her. We would definitely request to have Maria watch our baby again if we ever needed a doggy babysitter!
