🐾please read full bio before requesting to book 🐾 Hi! I’m Maria — graphic designer and house sitter based in Stamford, CT, accompanied by my two sweet dogs, Oliver and Touffy. They come with me on all house-sitting stays, offering built-in companionship and playtime for your pup. If your dog is friendly and social, it’s a wonderful opportunity for them to bond and have fun while you’re away. I’ve been caring for animals since childhood—growing up in Venezuela, my family rehabilitated wildlife like toucans, parrots, and tortoises, and we were always surrounded by animals. This lifelong connection has shaped the care I provide today: present, intuitive, and deeply respectful of every animal’s unique needs. I’m an animal communicator and specialize in dogs with separation anxiety. I work remotely and will be present throughout the stay leaving, if at all, temporarily only for errands/appointments. This ensures your pet’s schedule remains intact and they’re never alone for long stretches. What You Can Expect During a House-Sitting Stay For your pet: • Social time with Oliver & Touffy • Daily play and enrichment (brain games, basic training) • Trail walks and nature time • Personalized care that honors dietary needs, medications, and routine For your home: • Daily cleaning of used spaces • Bed linens and towels washed (if washer/dryer is available) • Trash & Recycling taken out • A tidy, peaceful home to return to Your Experience: The best part of choosing us is that we LOVE capturing moments so we will keep you up to date with photos and videos throughout the day. Returning home should feel effortless — no mess, no stress, just a happy pet and a clean space.
