I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I have cared for many animals in my home, and in the home of others. I have owned and cared for many dog breeds including Boston Terriers, Pugs, King Charles spaniel, golden doodles, chihuahuas, mixed breeds, and even exotic pets, such as birds, and turtles. I genuinely love every animal I encounter! I have experience administering medications, and caring for elderly seniors dogs and post op animals. If you have any more questions please fell free to ask! I can assure you that your pet will be well taken care of, and that he/she will not be left alone during any time of the day. I take my job very seriously and have worked very hard for my great reputation on Rover. - My house has a fully fenced yard with two sections and plenty of space for your pet(s) to run and exercise in. One of the sections has grass and the other one has cement. - I have experience with many different breeds, sizes, ages, and conditions.! - I Also have experience administering medication such as eye drops, pills, ear medication, etc. ****Discounts are available for those with 3 or more pets, and for extended stays of 3 weeks or more - I accept last minute requests & I live 2 miles from Miami international airport! - I don't currently own any pets so your dog will be the center of attention! - Hablamos español!

Muy agradecida con María y su esposo por el cuidado de Otto! Desde que hice la solicitud hasta recogerlo, la comunicación fue perfecta con ellos. El cuidado excepcional. Fueron muy amables, me mantuvieron siempre al tanto, compartieron fotos y videos conmigo diariamente. Volveré a utilizar este servicio con ellos si lo necesito nuevamente y se los recomiendo un 100%.. dejarán a su mascota… en muy buenas manos!

I just recently had Maria & Matthew take care of my little picky Daisy, they were so loving and constantly send me pictures of her playing, lounging around their home and eating which i was very worried about and this made me very happy that she was being taking care of, i recommend them on taking care of your special family member.

Thanks again for a wonderful first time experience! Both Maria and her husband were amazing with my Cody! Sent lots of great pictures throughout his stay and kept me updated on how he was doing, which really help put my mind at ease as it was my first time leaving him with anyone other than a family member. I finally found a home-away-from-home for my Cody and can now get away in peace, knowing he is safe and super happy! Already looking forward to the next one - thanks again to both!

We were so happy to have found a great sitter with Maria for our Stella. She was very warm and welcoming. This was our very first occasion using this service, but we are completely 100% satisfied. We definitely will return again when need a dog sitter for our pup and we hope that Maria is available Great attention to many details and sending you pictures to keep you updated on your precious pet. Maria is worth the five stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I highly recommend her.

Maria and her husband were absolutely wonderful with our dog! From the moment we met them, I could tell they genuinely cared for him. They kept me updated with the sweetest photos and little notes about their day, which made me feel so at ease while I was away. Our pup was happy, relaxed, and clearly loved spending time with them. It’s such a relief knowing he was in such loving hands. Thank you, Maria — we’re so grateful for you! I absolutely recommend her! Tony will definitely be returning!
