Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines. During walks, I always keep dogs securely leashed unless instructed otherwise in a safe, enclosed area. In your home, I’ll treat both your pet and your space with the utmost respect, keeping everything clean and secure. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

Information Maria G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, medications, allergies, favorite activities, fears, or any behaviors I should be aware of, such as anxiety, reactivity, or escape tendencies. I’d also love to know what helps them feel most comfortable and whether they have any training commands or special care instructions you’d like me to follow. The more I know, the better I can provide safe, personalized care.

A typical day

Every pet is different, so I tailor my care to their personality, age, and energy level. We can enjoy walks, playtime, fetch, enrichment games, or simply relax together if they prefer a quieter day. I’ll make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive lots of love and attention, and get plenty of bathroom breaks. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Maria, and animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes—from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs—as well as cats with all kinds of personalities. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I have hands-on experience with daily walks, potty training, feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up after pets, administering oral medication when instructed, playtime, cuddles, and keeping pets on their normal routine. I understand that every animal is different, so I always take the time to learn what makes your pet feel comfortable and happy. For dog walks, I typically offer 30- or 60-minute walks, making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, bathroom breaks, and enrichment while staying safe at all times. During drop-in visits, I feed pets, provide fresh water, clean litter boxes or pick up waste, give medications if needed, and spend quality time playing or relaxing with them—whatever they enjoy most. If I’m providing house sitting or overnight care, I’ll stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule to reduce stress while you’re away. I’ll also keep your home tidy and respect your space. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. If an emergency ever arises, I will contact you immediately and, if necessary, seek veterinary care based on the instructions you’ve provided. I’m calm under pressure and always put your pet’s well-being first. I know how difficult it can be to leave your furry family member, which is why I’ll send regular updates, photos, and messages so you always know how they’re doing. I have reliable transportation, a flexible schedule, and experience caring for both dogs and cats. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved until you return. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet, and I look forward to becoming someone you can trust whenever you need reliable, compassionate care. 🐾❤️
