Safety, trust & environment

To keep your pet comfortable and stress-free, I care for them in their own home so they stay in a familiar environment. I follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific care needs. *For dog walking*, I make sure each walk is safe, structured, and adapted to your dog’s energy level. I stay attentive at all times, give them space when needed, and closely monitor their behavior and well-being.

Information Maria Gracia S. would like to know about your pet

I like to know your pet’s routine, personality, energy level, and any special needs ahead of time so I can make them feel comfortable and cared for. It’s also helpful to know feeding schedules, medications, triggers, or anything that helps me give them the best care possible.

A typical day

I like keeping pets engaged in ways that match their personality and energy level. For dogs, that can mean walks, playtime, light jogging (if they enjoy it), fetch, sniff walks, or just spending time outside getting some fresh air. I also make sure they get attention, affection, and time to relax. For cats, I enjoy interactive play, keeping them company, and respecting their space and routine. Some cats love toys and attention, while others prefer quiet companionship, so I always follow their pace and what makes them comfortable. My goal is to make pets feel safe, cared for, and as comfortable as possible while you’re away.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a caring and reliable pet sitter offering dog walking and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. I’ve cared for pets for friends and family, and I always follow each pet’s routine closely so they feel safe, comfortable, and at ease while you’re away. I adapt to each pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic and playful or more calm and independent. I’m attentive, communicative, and easy to reach, and I’ll always keep you updated so you know how your pet is doing.

Maria was so kind, thoughtful, and attentive toward Rosey and my home. She gave frequent updates and seemed to genuinely enjoy spending time with Rosey. I’ll definitely be using her services again in the near future!

Maria was great! She met with me and Ekko before walking him, listened to all my care instructions, and asked questions about his boundaries. She kept us updated after each walk, and Ekko seems to really like her!
