The Best Dog Sitter

Hello Everyone! I am the best in DFW. Look no further. I am the most caring and compassionate animal lover. Please refrain from being rude in any way shape or form. Please respect my time. Please be respectful of my TIME and energy that I give!!! I give a lot and need to be respected. If you cannot provide me with respect then we are not compatible.💥 I am an adult, educated and experienced. I have worked in Physical Therapy and as a medical Esthetician.. I have a beautiful home. Please be kind and respectful 24/7. I own a clean, very beautiful and comfy and non smoking home in a lovely neighborhood for your Dog to stay in! I have a FENCED IN yard and I am walking distance to GENERATIONS PARK or formally known as BEDFORD BOYS RANCH park. ***I have no pets of my own and I only keep one Dog at a time! *** A LITTLE ABOUT ME: I am an ex-pat, an educated world traveler. An Argentinian American raised in Saudi Arabia. I’m 46 yrs old. I am a perfectionist. I am very punctual. Please make sure you are. I've delivered pet care services to many clients per week for small and large dog breeds, including daily exercise, feeding, and emotional support during owners' absence. I have strong communication skills with pet owners to evaluate care needs, behavior, and medical conditions and ensure the safety of pets during boarding. I've provided compassionate care to dogs with varying temperaments, conditions, and behaviors, which included interfacing with clients and ensuring the safety and wellbeing of pets during neighborhood walks and exercise. Ensured appropriate food and water levels for pets during visits and delivered play and companionship to reduce anxiety and emotional distress. Most of all I am grateful and happy to take care of your dogs like they are my own. I have owned several dogs in my life and I'm extremely knowledgeable with both small, medium and large breeds. I would love to help! My main concern is the safety and comfort of your pet! I am extremely responsible and reliable. I take this job very seriously and this is my passion. I am 100 percent committed to you and your pet. I have owned dogs and cats my whole life. I have even worked with porcupines! I rescue dogs and do what I can to help shelter animals. I will take excellent care of your dogs/cats. Plenty of excercise, love and cuddles! Lots of affection when you’re not around. Nobody will care more about your baby than me! This is my goal and I am here to help! I’m home full time and provide 24 hour care. I am here for anything your pet needs.I will take care of your pet exactly like you want me to. I watch, listen, love, cuddle, feed, water, give treats, play indoors, outdoors, and walk outside. Dogs are allowed on my furniture. I have a fenced yard for them to play outside with me. I have a very safe and clean neighborhood. Thank you for reading my bio! Feel free to ask any questions!

Maria took great care of my senior dog! I received daily photos and updates. I really appreciated her understanding of my dog's medical needs. She was also able to accommodate an early pick up time when I got back into town earlier than expected.

My dog Eevee really loved her stay with Maria! She took care of Eevee for 6 nights, and I really couldn’t have imagined a better dog sitter. She was responsive, kind, and genuine. I received many pictures/updates every day of Eevee having a great my time, and I didn’t worry one bit about her. I would highly recommend Maria!!

Archie loved staying with Maria! We got married while he was staying with her and we didn’t have to worry about him at all. She sent many photos and kept us updated. She even bathed him for us🤍🛁

This was Zoey’s second time staying with Maria. She took such great care of her, sent regular updates with pictures and videos, and went to the store to pick something up for Zoey that she needed. We are truly grateful to have found such a reliable and caring pet sitter in Maria! Our next boarding is already booked! Thank you! 🐾
