Maria can care for
Availability
The only thing I can't work around is my son's nap schedule. I make that time clear with pet parents and we can work out a time before or after his nap that works well with your pet(s). I am a stay at home mom, so my schedule is pretty flexible.

Safety, trust & environment
I currently do not offer care in my home due to already having a full house with my animals and toddler. But when I am in your home, the instructions you provide me are my bread and butter of the stay. I check off each item to do on your list. Feeding, walks, cleaning litter boxes, play time, picking up toys, etc.
Information Maria G. would like to know about your pet
I like to know about your furry companion(s) likes and dislikes when it comes to play time. Do they like fetch? A game of hide the scent or toy? Do they like to be picked up? Do they have any behavioral problems? Are they good with kids?
A typical day
Fetch and tug are true favorites for most of the dogs I see! If your dog isn't into that type of play, we can take a walk exploring the sights and smells of the neighborhood. If you have a more active dog that likes mind games, we can play hide and seek with their toys or hide the treat and have them work for their reward! And of course, pets and cuddles if they would like!

Pet care experience
Dates I Will Be Out of Town 2026 June 28 July 3-5 July 29-Aug 1 Hi there, I'm Maria and a fur mom of 3 (2 kitties and 1 dog) and I love them dearly. I have had animals my entire life and volunteered at an animal shelter, vet hospital and worked for a doggy daycare for almost 10 years feeding, playing with, brushing, bathing and loving up to 25 pups at a time. I have also worked in the grooming salon and daycare and boarding center for PetSmart. I would love to show your pets the same affection that I show mine while you are away from home. I am more than happy to care for any size or breed of cat or dog, I have experienced it all! I am a stay at home mama with my little boys so we will have plenty of time to spend playing with and caring for your fur babies. Making sure your pet is safe while we are together is my number one priority. I ensure all gates and/or doors are secure before I will let your pets out for potty and play. Getting emergency contact and veterinarian information are a must in case your baby has an emergency while you are away. Meet and greets are preferred not only so I can meet your pet in a stress free environment with you at home, it will easy your pets mind to know that mom and/or dad have invited me in to meet them before trusting their care to me. I do understand that sometimes you need someone ASAP and there is an emergency, I will take extra precautions when this is the case. Slowly entering your home with a calm and positive attitude to be sure your animals know I can be trusted and am there to care for them while you are out. I am a non-biased person, an LGBTQIA+ ally, a supporter of BLM, and that love is love. You can feel free to be your true self with me if you are comfortable.

Reviews
Maria is the sweetest and takes amazing care of our babies!
Maria was great. She gave detailed summaries of her visits and won the cats over. We will be happy to book her again.
Maria and her kids were absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond for our 4 cats. We are truly blessed to have her taking care of them while we were on vacation. Definitely would book from again in the future!!
Maria continues to be a top tier sitter for our cat. He’s usually a little anxious, but she brings out the best in him. Love her.
