Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have experience with a large variety of dogs and cats. I have owned everything from arthritic old dogs to 8 week old puppies. I am confident with all dogs on a leash from 6 lb palmeranians to large Sheppards and provide daily updates to my families on thier pets with photos and videos.
Information Maria D. would like to know about your pet
Through my experience feeding time seems to require the most instructions. Please provide written instructions of feeding routines and any medications. It is also super helpful to have a few preferred treats to help build new relationships especially with cautious dogs.
A typical day
Every pet I have set has had a different experience. Many pets when seperated from thier families behave differently. I do my best to follow established routines and get met with many wags and kisses.

Pet care experience
I've taken care of pets and been a pet owner my entire life. Family, friends, and even neighbors often ask me to care for their pets for vacations and even emergencies. I have raised puppies through potty training and socialization. I recently lost an elderly dog. I had her for 14 wonderful years. I currently own a 3y/o mixed breed dog who is a whole lot of fun that I adopted from the shelter.
Cat care experience
Maria also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Very kind and Nala loved her visits 🙂
Maria was wonderful and very punctual. We had a little spicy kitty situation and she handled it very well. She was responsive and accommodating. I would definitely use Maria again.
Great house sitter for my elderly beagle
Maria was AMAZING!! She went above and beyond the call of duty taking care of Wrigley and it was so reassuring having her stay with him while I was gone. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her. Thanks Maria!
