Lifelong Animal Enthusiast

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s had pets by my side since I was 6 years old. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, and fish—each one teaching me something about playfulness, patience and the joy of good company. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and cat sitting, and I’m happy to check in on other types of pets too. Whether your furry friend needs a brisk walk, some cozy company, or reliable daily care while you’re away, I treat every animal as if they were my own—with attention, affection, and respect for their routines. Animals have always been part of my life, and I’d love to help care for yours. 🐾

Maria is one of the most reliable and caring people I know, and her love for animals truly shines through in everything she does! As a devoted cat mom to her sweet boy Mowgli, she’s deeply attentive and understands the importance of making pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. She’s helped check in on my cats many times, always taking the time to give them affection & play with them. She also regularly helps care for mutual friends’ dogs and cats when they’re out of town, and everyone always feels completely at ease knowing their pets are with her. Maria treats every animal as if they were her own, which is what makes her so special. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to care for your furry friends; she’s trustworthy, compassionate, and has such a natural way with animals.
