Happy animals make me happy!
Pet care experience
I've had my own pup for 3 years but have been helping care for friends' dogs for over a decade. I am usually the first person folks turn to for overnight dog care or for just to stop in for a visit and walk. As for cats, I love to pet and care for them if they are interested!
Reviews
Maria has been my go-to dog watcher for my two dogs dozens of times, both at her own house, and has stayed at my home. Maria is friendly, professional, punctual and trustworthy. I always know my pups are in good hands when Maria is taking care of them, highly recommend! -Ben
Maria has had her dog Blue for more than 3 years now, and every time I see him, I can tell that he is happy and healthy. She takes fantastic care of him, feeds him well, gets him all the exercise that his little heart desires, and gives him everything that he needs to truly thrive. I was pretty sure after I got my own puppy Cascade that she would be able to take incredible care of her as well, when I need someone to dogsit or walk her when I'm spending a long day at work. I was right. Maria treats Cascade as if she and Blue are both her own. Anytime Cascade sees either of them, her eyes light up, her tail starts going, and she moves as fast as her four paws can carry her (which is pretty fast) to get out of the truck and say hi. And every time that I pick her up from a play date or a long weekend, Blue has to help me get Cascade back in the truck to go home, because she has such a great time that she doesn't want it to stop. When Blue had to make visit to the vet on short notice, Maria kept her composure and acted quickly to make sure that he was okay; I know that she would do the same for every dog. I am confident that if anything were to happen to Cascade while with Maria that she is in good hands, and I can't recommend her highly enough for Rover.
Maria is the best most caring pet sitter! Maria has pet sat my husky, which is no easy task, and my dog loves her! She is very active and will get your dog the exercise they need. I would highly recommend Maria to love and care for your pet!
Maria is our go-to dog sitter. Maria has house-sat for us, watched our dogs at her home, and done drop-ins and dog walks with our two large dogs. We have one older dog who has a few health needs and she is always willing to take the extra step to make sure he is feeling good! She responds promptly and is exceptionally responsible with our fur babies and home.
