Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pet. I am available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays, and after 1 PM on Saturdays. While I work in a pediatrics office on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, I am able to check on pets before work, during my break, and again after work to ensure they receive consistent care, companionship, exercise, and attention throughout the day. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet's routine and will do my best to keep them comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I take the time to learn each pet's needs, including feeding schedules, exercise preferences, medications, and any special instructions. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and potty breaks while ensuring they feel secure and loved. In a client's home, I respect their space and work to keep their pet's routine as consistent as possible to reduce stress. In my home, pets are welcomed into a clean, safe, and caring environment where they receive supervision, companionship, and plenty of love. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make their time away from their family as enjoyable and comfortable as possible.

Trusted Care for Your Best Friend

Pet care experience

I bring a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, along with the patience and compassion I've developed helping care for my grandmother. Growing up with a dog of my own and being surrounded by dogs through family and friends has taught me that every pet has a unique personality and deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood. Helping care for my grandmother has strengthened my sense of responsibility, attentiveness, and empathy. I've learned the importance of noticing the little things, maintaining routines, and providing comfort and companionship. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, an energetic adult, or a senior who needs extra patience and gentle care, I'll treat them with the same kindness and attention I would give my own family. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for while you're away.

Maria is a unique caregiver! She has cared for two of my dogs! Her experience teaching newborns to swim and heavy patient experience in the medical field makes her fun and energetic but also a gentle disciplinarian, a great observer and keen listener! I highly recommend her!

Maria B. would provide safe, loving care and exceptional customer service because she is a kind, responsible, and compassionate person who genuinely cares about others. She has a gentle nature, a strong sense of responsibility, and treats every pet as if they were her own. She is dependable, attentive, and always goes above and beyond to make sure those in her care feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for. She is truly an awesome human being, and I would trust her completely to provide the same level of care and kindness to every pet and family she works with.

Maria does an outstanding job taking care of and walking my dog, Ghost. She is dependable, attentive, and genuinely cares about his well-being. Whether it’s making sure he gets plenty of exercise on his walks, keeping him safe, or giving him the attention and affection he needs, Maria always goes above and beyond. Ghost is excited whenever he sees her, which speaks volumes about the trust and bond they’ve built. Knowing Maria is caring for him gives me complete peace of mind because I know he is in capable and loving hands.
