Pet care experience
Doting dog mom with love to spare!
Hi there! I am a stay-at-home mom who traded in a full time career as a psychiatric counselor for the quiet life taking care of my son and our adorable pups. I have an undergraduate degree from Duquesne University, and a Masters degree from Cornell. I absolutely LOVE dogs, and it would be my joy to be able to spoil and love yours as well! We have a fenced in area of our yard to ensure the safety of your pup! I have always had dogs, growing up they were always part of my family. We now have three amazing dogs that we adore and love having as part of our little family. I am home all day, with the exception of an hour long errand a few times a week, so I am able to accommodate dogs of all needs! All rooms and surfaces in my house are dog friendly, and your dogs are welcome to play, lay, and snuggle anywhere they please. We have a crate if your dog should need some private space, but all of our dogs sleep in our bed so your dogs are welcome to as well! I have experience feeding, bathing, walking, training- all parts of being a loving dog mom!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
As always, Maria was incredible with our dog, who needed a little extra care during this stay due to some health issues. We always feel so good about leaving our dog Remi in her care while we are away. Can’t say enough good things about Maria and her family!
Our dogs absolutely love Maria and her son!
Maria is so wonderful with our dogs. This is their third visit. So thankful we found Maria.
Maria is always the most caring sitter!
Maria is the best! Our cavie Jack has the best time with her!
Maria is amazing! My dog wags her tail upon arrival, which every dog owner loves to see. She takes great care to ensure your dog has a comfortable stay.

Schedule
We recently moved back to Pittsburgh from Richmond Virginia and we live in a house with a beautiful corner lot & a fenced in dog area. I am home full time and would love to help take care of (and spoil) your pets while you’re away. I am flexible with scheduling and I would love to be able to help take care of your pets!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have three very friendly female dogs at home, who are cuddly and spoiled! We have a nine-year-old Havanese named Nala, a five-year-old Dalmation named Pepper, and a one-and-half-year old miniature Dachshund named Hoagie. As previously stated, our entire house is dog friendly and I am committed to making sure your dog feels safe and secure. We fenced in a portion of our backyard so your dogs can safely relieve themselves. We have a long lead in the backyard if your dog requires staying on a leash in the yard. We have a large yard with lots of room to run, and we love going for long walks in local parks!
Pets
A typical day
We love to play fetch in the yard, and go for walks in our quiet neighborhood! We also like to go to local parks and make sure we keep our girls as healthy as possible!
