Hi! I’m Maria, a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds—dogs, cats, and everything in between. I’ve been around animals my entire life, and I truly can’t imagine life without them. I currently have two sweet (and sometimes chaotic) cats who are the absolute lights of my life—I’d do anything for them, and I’ll treat your pets with the same level of care, love, and respect. Over the years, I’ve provided pet sitting and dog walking for friends, neighbors, and clients, making sure their pets stayed safe, happy, and comfortable—whether at home or out for an adventure. I’m experienced with all sorts of personalities, from playful puppies and curious kittens to senior pets and shy critters who need a little extra patience. I’m happy to help with: Daily drop-ins, dog walks, or extended stays Feeding, fresh water, litter box/cage/habitat cleaning Administering medication (if needed) Playtime, cuddles, and companionship Light home care while you're away Care of small animals (rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, reptiles, etc.) I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m gentle, reliable, and always happy to send photo or video updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet—I’d love to get to know you and your pets!
