Highlights
Pet care experience
Safe, Fun, Dependable Pet Care
I’ve always been a huge animal lover and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all personalities and energy levels. We got my first family dog at age six, and have always had one since! I’m very attentive, reliable, and treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a calm, comforting environment, I adapt to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. I’m experienced with administering medications and caring for senior dogs who need extra patience and support. I also understand how important communication is while you’re away, so I make sure to send regular updates, photos, and notes so you feel completely at ease. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re gone.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Maria was great! Very communicative and our pup loved his time with her!
Maria was wonderful!! We needed a super last minute boarding for our dog Hayden and she was extremely accommodating. She took excellent care of our senior dog - she sent tons of updates and was careful not to push him too hard on a long walk! He had a great time!! We will definitely be using her again!
Maria has been absolutely wonderful with watching my dog, Juniper. She is reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. Juniper is always excited to see her and comes home happy, tired, and well cared for. I fully trust Maria and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and loving pet caregiver.
Maria F. has cared for our dogs including providing dog walks, along with overnights and weekends. She loves animals especially dogs and enjoys playing and snuggling with them. Maria is experienced with both puppies and senior dogs. She can follow detailed instructions and take full responsibility for your pet. I recommend Maria as both a dogwalker and pet sitter.

Schedule
My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and consistency throughout the day. I enjoy staying active, so walks, outdoor time, and play fit naturally into my routine. I’m also happy to accommodate specific feeding schedules, medication routines, or extra check-ins as needed.

Safety, trust & environment
Creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment is always my top priority. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s established routine to help minimize stress and keep things familiar. I’m attentive on walks, careful with doors, leashes, and feeding instructions, and always make sure pets are supervised appropriately. I also believe communication is key, so I provide regular updates and photos to give owners peace of mind while they’re away.
A typical day
A typical day includes plenty of walks, playtime, enrichment, and relaxation depending on your dog’s personality and energy level. I love keeping dogs physically and mentally stimulated, whether that’s exploring new smells around the neighborhood, playing games, going to the large park nearby, or simply getting lots of attention and cuddles throughout the day. I also make sure pets stay on their normal feeding, potty, and rest schedules so they feel comfortable and at home.
