Mari's Sitter

Hi, I’m Maria! I’m a caring, responsible, and patient pet sitter who truly loves animals. My goal is to make every dog or cat feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. I understand how important your pet is to you, and I treat every furry guest like part of my own family. I’m experienced with shy, nervous, and first‑time pets, and I’m happy to follow any routine you already have in place—feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, or special instructions. I also provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you always know how your pet is doing.

I highly recommend Maria! She took amazing care of my dog while I was away. My dog was happy, well cared for, and got plenty of love and attention. I really appreciated the updates, photos, and how comfortable she made me feel leaving my fur baby with her. I will definitely be using her again!

Maria is an amazing sitter and I will be referring all my friends to her. She always makes gays very happy! He is always in a great mood when I drop him off and happy when I pick him up. And when I am away she updates me daily.

Pets

A typical day

From the moment your pet arrives, my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and happily entertained. Here’s what a fun and comforting day with me looks like: Calm Welcome & Connection Your pet starts the day with a gentle, relaxed welcome. I let them explore at their own pace, sniff around, and get comfortable in their new environment. I send you a quick photo so you can see how well they’re settling in. Fun Activities!!! For dogs: - A peaceful walk around the neighborhood - Light playtime with toys like balls or tug ropes - Sniffing and exploring to keep their mind active!! I follow your pet’s exact routine — feeding schedule, water refresh, and any oral medication if needed. After lunch, they enjoy a quiet rest in a comfy spot. You receive another update with a photo or short video.
