Lover of all dogs!
Pet care experience
I love walking, I love dogs, so here I am! I love to be around dogs of all sizes and always have! I grew up with Hershey, a rescue schnoodle, who lived with us for 15 years until she crossed the rainbow bridge. We walked, bathed, and groomed her at home. I love watching my parent’s rescue, an energetic and anxious pointer mix, and my sister’s rescue, the sweetest pitbull/terrier mix. My husband is allergic to dogs so I’m looking for ways to have doggy friends without making him sick.
Reviews
This was our first time using a sitter and we didn't know what to expect with our somewhat difficult furries. We met Maria prior to booking her services. Our dog Luna was ok with her, and Peanut the cat came out to say hi even though she usually hides when someone comes to the house. While we were away Maria kept us updated and sent pictures each day. She arrived as scheduled and let us know of any changes. After a few days of adjustment, Luna was excited to see Maria and go on her walkies. We will definitely book her again for our next adventures. After using a boarding facility that couldn't handle Luna or Peanut we are glad we made the decision to use a sitter. We give Maria 10 stars.
I should mention, I don’t often do 5 stars on any review, but this girl deserves it! I’m a naturally paranoid person and don’t like letting strangers into my home. I’m even cautious with new friends. That being said, I’m naturally over protective of my baby and was so nervous about using this app. She’s earned my trust, watched her play with my dog as well as make sure he was ok. Seriously recommend her!
Maria is as sweet as can be! Loves our sweet fur lil babies! Thank you for taking care of ours like they are your own!
Maria is so good to Rosie! She can read Rosie’s energy and decipher when she’s beat from summer the heat or ready to explore. Thank you, Maria!

I work with your individual dog’s needs. I am happy to feed, play, walk, cuddle, or just sit next to your dog for company. Every dog is different! I will follow your specific instructions since you know your dog best. My parent’s dog is an escape artist so I am very careful when walking and entering/exiting. I love to take doggy pictures and keep you updated on how they’re doing.

I love to provide fun and companionship for your dogs! We will play games, snuggle, and get the zoomies out. Having watched my sister’s and parent’s energetic dogs, I’ve got lots of fun toys and games up my sleeve to keep your dog entertained!
