About Maria G.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
My approach to care is grounded in safety, consistency, trust and warmth. I respect each pet’s routine, keep environments secure and low-stress, and provide attentive supervision. Working remotely allows me to be present and responsive, and I always communicate clearly with pet parents. I do not board pets however I treat your pets in your home with the same love as I would for my pet in my home=).

I love keeping pets happy and engaged! We’ll enjoy plenty of walks (with lots of sniffs!), playtime with their favorite toys, games like fetch or tug-of-war, and lots of belly rubs and cuddles. I enjoy engaging activities to keep their minds active, all while making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable.

Pet care experience
Hi! I’m a dog lover with over 6 years of experience living with and caring for my wonderful dog Walter! I know how much our pups mean to us, so I always treat every dog like they’re part of the family. I love getting to know each dog’s personality — whether they’re full of energy or more on the chill side — and I tailor walks and visits to what makes them happiest. I’m happy to follow your dog’s routine and preferences so they feel comfortable and relaxed. I also offer house visits, where I can help with feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and keeping your dog company while you’re away. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities, and I’d love to meet your pup!
Reviews
Maria and Peaches have become good friends and I love getting the full report after their walks. Excellent!
Maria was amazing with my dog! She went above and beyond to make sure Nutella got her walk. Maria arrived on time and even brought a towel to wipe Nutella’s paws!
Maria was amazing! Murphy is anxious around new people so can sometimes be difficult but she was patient with him - exactly what he needs! She was on time and made sure to send me pictures of Muprhy on their walk. So nice to have someone be able to let Murphy out and know he’s being well taken care of!
I was so lucky to have Maria take care of my cat while I was traveling. My cat is elderly and has some specific needs, but I knew that Maria would take care of him and give him tons of love while I was away. I would absolutely ask Maria to pet sit for me again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and thoughtful pet sister.
