Safety, trust & environment

My motto is "your pets, your rules" or "your home, your rules". I promise to always concentrate on your preferences and processes when it come to caring for your pets and property. Your safety and security is my priority but I am also great with plants, organization, cleaning, laundry and mail management.

A typical day

I love to see that pets get a decent amount of exercise and joy in their day by playing with, walking and brushing them but if there is a particular activity or game that your pet enjoys, I will be sure to learn and prioritize it.

Pet care experience

While I currently cannot financially afford to have any pets, I had both dogs and cats as pets throughout my life. My cat Cleo lived to be over 20 years old! Recently I have sat for my neighbors dog in Austin, TX and volunteered for an organization known as Austin Pets Alive.

Maria was my house sitter and my dog sitter for 8 days recently and did a fantastic job. Hayley loved her and she took great care of my house while I was gone. Great peace of mind will definitely schedule her again.

Maria has a joyful personality, she was very good with my dogs and they were very happy while she was with them. They all ate well and she took them for various walks during the day. She was conscientious in making sure each dog got their various supplements and medications. I hope she will be available when I need her watch my dogs again. Thank you so much Maria!

I truly can not say enough good things about Maria! She took phenomenal care of my dogs, following all instructions to the letter, giving them their medications on time, and making sure they were very happy and comfortable. She also took great care of the house, everything was spotless! Also, her communication was outstanding, she kept me updated every step of the way.. I felt completely at ease leaving my girls in her care. Highly recommend!

Maria was wonderful! Extremely attentive to the crew, and she communicated throughout which helped make my time away with my family very relaxing. Her personality is positive and upbeat, and she's very conscientious. She'll be my 1st choice going forward when I need a pet caregiver. I HIGHLY recommend Maria.
