Pet care experience

20+ Yrs of Pet Love, Ready to Sit

With over 20 years of experience caring for my own beloved dogs, I bring a lifetime of love, patience, and understanding to every pet I care for. I've raised puppies, nurtured senior dogs through their golden years, and cared for a wide range of breeds and personalities. Whether it’s a playful pup or a shy cat, I adapt to their unique needs to make them feel safe and loved. Your pets will enjoy tailored care, regular updates, and all the cuddles they can handle! With me, your furry friends are in safe, loving hands.

Maria was fantastic! This was the first time Buddy was in her care. Buddy has some medical issues so Maria knew that I was worried about him eating and taking his medications. She made sure to send me plenty of pictures so that I could see that he was taking his meds and eating. Even though english is not Maria’s first language, there were no issues with communication. I will definitely contact Maria when needed in the future.

Schedule

As someone who works from home on flexible, sporadic gigs, I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. They will always have my full attention and will never be left alone for long periods. I can easily tailor my schedule to their needs, ensuring they get the love, care, and companionship they deserve throughout the day. Your pets will be my priority! My first language is Spanish.

Safety, trust & environment

When pets stay in my home, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment with a small fenced patio for outdoor time and play. There are also plenty of walking paths around my home, where I take morning and evening walks that can be tailored to your dog’s energy level and needs. From regular exercise and playtime to cozy resting spots, I ensure your pet feels at home and well-cared for. I stick to their usual routines for feeding, bathroom breaks, and any special requirements to keep them happy and stress-free. When caring for pets in your home, I treat it with the utmost respect while ensuring your pet feels secure in their familiar surroundings. I follow your instructions closely, whether it’s maintaining their routine, administering medication, or providing extra cuddles. I’m committed to keeping your pet happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away, with regular updates so you always know how they’re doing.

A typical day

I love to stimulate your pet physically and mentally. We'll play a brunch of games, check out all the news smells in the neighborhood, and explore a Alexander Park near my house or in a park near his house.

It is important to me to know if your pet has any special care or tastes. It is also important to let me know if he is friendly or should I keep him away from other pets.
