Information Maria C. would like to know about your pet

It’s also important to let me know about medical needs, medications, allergies, anxiety triggers, or any behavioral concerns (such as resource guarding or fear around children). The more I understand about your pup, the better I can provide consistent, loving care that feels familiar to them.

A typical day

Our days are full of attention, play, and companionship! Since I work from home, your pup will be part of the daily rhythm of our house. We enjoy neighborhood walks, sniff breaks, and outdoor time throughout the day. Inside, there’s plenty of playtime, enrichment with toys, and cozy cuddle breaks. If your dog loves activity, we’ll keep them engaged. If they prefer to relax, they’ll have a calm, comfortable space to nap nearby while I work. Every dog’s personality is different, and I tailor the day to what makes them happiest.

Loving, Reliable Dog Sitter

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Maria, a lifelong dog lover and work-from-home mom to two teens and a toddler. We recently lost our beloved dog, and our home feels a little quieter without paws around. Caring for dogs again feels like a meaningful way to share that love.

To sum it up in one word AMAZING! This was my first time Isabella has not been with me since she was 8 weeks old. Maria and her family took wonderful care of her. I got pictures and updates multiple times a day. Maria responded quickly if I had any questions. She also checked with me prior to doing anything we did not discuss at drop off to be sure I was ok with it. Isabella had such a wonderful time I don’t think she wanted to leave lol. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.

I would 100% trust Maria with my dogs. She treats my dogs like her own and gives them lots of love and attention. It’s so much easier going away knowing they are in good hands. Would definitely recommend!!
