Highlights
Pet care experience
Big Love for Every Little Paw.
With over 20 years of experience dog sitting—and more than 20 years as a devoted cat and dog owner—I truly understand that pets are family. I offer loving in-home cat and dog sitting, home visits, and dog walking services, providing gentle, reliable care and plenty of affection while you’re away. Your pets will be treated with the same love and attention I give my own.

Ratings and reviews
Maria was absolutely wonderful with our two fur babies, Bailee and Brynlee! From the moment we dropped them off, we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such loving hands. Maria went above and beyond to make sure our girls were happy, comfortable, and spoiled. She kept us updated throughout their stay and sent us the sweetest pictures, which meant so much to us while we were away. She took them on walks, brushed their teeth, brushed them, gave them lots of love and attention, and even let them sleep with her! She also gave them homemade peanut butter and pumpkin treats that her dad made, which was such a sweet and thoughtful touch! It was obvious that Bailee and Brynlee were getting so much love and attention while they were staying with her. Maria didn't just watch our dogs—she truly cared for them like they were her own. ❤️ We are so grateful we found her and would absolutely trust her with our girls again. I highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for someone who will love, spoil, and take wonderful care of their fur babies! 🐶🐶💕
Oni had a super great time! Great communication, got updates and pictures every day. Thank you for watching her!
Maria has been so amazing. Her dad loves to spoil the dogs and my girls get so excited when they are told they get to go to the sitter. She is great with communication as well. We love are girls staying with her.
Maria was just wonderful and I would recommend her to anyone. She had my boy for a week and took the best care of him. I was at ease during my travels knowing that he was in good hands. Best boarding experience ever for my pup.
Maria was amazing! My older dog needed some special attention and Maria went above and beyond for her. Both my girls played and loved staying with her. We look forward to working with her again.
Wonderful sitter! Astro made friends with belle and got lots of love and pictures

Schedule
Pet care is a regular and important part of my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around pet visits, walks, and in-home sitting to ensure each pet receives consistent, attentive care. Because I’ve been caring for my own cats and dogs for over 20 years, meeting pets’ needs—feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship—fits seamlessly into my day. I prioritize reliability, flexibility, and making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets as if they were my own, always following each pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions closely. In a client’s home, I provide attentive in-home sitting or drop-in visits that include feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, medication if needed, and lots of love and reassurance. For dog walking, I focus on safe, enjoyable walks tailored to each dog’s energy level. My goal is to keep pets comfortable, happy, and stress-free in their familiar environment while their owners are away. I have 3 very friendly dogs and a big, fenced in backyard. When dogs are boarding in my home, they are part of the family and they get to play with friends so they must be dog friendly, I also give each dog a luxurious shower with oatmeal dog shampoo, I throughly dry them by hand, clean their ears and brush their hair. They will be nice and clean when you come pick them up. I also wash their dog bed the night before pickup.

A typical day
Your dog will make itself at home. Dogs are allowed to wander freely in my home and sit on the couch or the dog beds, whichever they prefer. They will get lots of love with belly rubs.
