Pet care experience

Caring& active midday dog walker💛

I have been around dogs - as small as a Yorkshire and as big as a Shepard - my entire life as I grew up in a family that has always had pets, so caring for them has always come pretty naturally to me. From a young age, I have been responsible for walking, feeding, and spending quality time with our family dogs. Over the years, I have also helped friends are relatives by taking care of their dogs and cats while they were out of town, making sure their pets were always happy, well taken care of, and comfortable in their absence. I am a patient and attentive person, who truly enjoys being around animals. I treat every pet like my own and always make their safety and well-being my priority.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

My priorities are your pet's safety, comfort, and routine. I provide care in your home, where your pet feels most familiar and secure. During visits and walks, I make sure pets are always supervised, safely leashed when outside, and kept in a stress-free environment. I follow any specific instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special needs. I pay attention to each pets behavior and comfort level, and I take a patient and gentle approach to build trust. I can also provide updates so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands. I have a reliable car and can travel to your home easily. If requested, I can also take dogs to nearby parks, always ensuring their safety and comfort throughout the trip.

Omg! I cannot ask for a better pet sitter. Maria is a sweetheart and made us feel very secure watching Lucy while we were away. She is very communicative! We really loved that she kept updating us with pictures. I highly recommend booking her and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!

Maria is a thoughtful, dependable, and genuinely caring pet caregiver. She treats every pet with patience, affection, and close attention to their individual needs. I’d feel confident leaving my pet with Maria knowing they would be safe, well cared for, and treated like family.

Maria G. is a fantastic and highly responsible pet caregiver! She has watched my cat multiple times, and I always feel at ease knowing she’s in charge. Maria strictly followed the feeding schedule, spent plenty of time playing with her, and sent me cute photo updates that kept me smiling while I was away. She truly goes above and beyond—I couldn't recommend her more!

I really love Maria! she has such an amazing, positive vibe that both people and dogs can feel instantly. Not only are the dogs always clean and well taken care of, but what’s truly special is how they react when she arrives. They can sense her before she even gets to the door, and they’re already there waiting for her, excited and happy. It’s honestly so heartwarming to see. She’s incredibly kind, reliable, and just super nice overall. Highly recommend her!
