Pampering Pets with Love and Care

Pet care experience

Pet Care Experience: I have always loved dogs. I have loved and cared for two of my dogs and have 10+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I always want to make sure that you have peace of mind when your fur baby is in my care. I am available for dog walking as well as dog sitting, and doggie daycare, inside your home or at my pet-friendly home. I have cared for many of my friends and family’s dogs both large and small, both boarding and sitting in their home. In addition to feeding, walking, and playing with them, I would also make sure to clean their face and eyes, and wipe their paws after walks. One of the dogs had diabetes, so I know how to administer insulin injections and other meds. I take heed in listening to and following your care instructions and will always keep in touch with you via phone and send pictures. I am also available for meet and greets should you wish beforehand to better put your mind at ease. I am available in Staten Island, Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst, and Brooklyn. Thank you for considering me. I look forward to building a relationship of trust with both you and your pet.

Maria tended to my baby Darla as if it was her own. I have never met such a special person who will take care of not only your pet but your home as if it’s hers. I recommend Maria to anyone looking for a pet sitter or dog walker. I came home and my pup couldn’t have been more happy! I’m starting to think she misses Maria!

I recommend Maria to anyone and everyone. She is simply THE best! Anyone who entrusts her with their fur-baby (ies) will be incredibly lucky, as I have been. She is caring, attentive, loving, responsible and extremely communicative. She sends photos daily and will follow your instructions to a tee. You can rest assured that your pet(s) will be safe and in loving hands.

Maria did an excellent job taking care of our 9 month old dachshund puppy, Martin- engaging in friendly greeting and then play as soon as she arrived - and the play continued till Martin was worn out and able to rest by her side. She was also thoughtful to send messages and pics. I highly recommend her for dog sitting services.

Maria is the only one I trust with my angel, Noah. I have a mom and cousin who are always willing to take him when I need help but I don't trust them with Noah. I need someone who will give him attention, walk him, and feed him all while being aware because my pooch has diabetes and requires extra tlc. She also went above and beyond and learned how to do the insulin injections so my baby is all covered! I highly recommend Maria with your fur babies!
