Highlights
Pet care experience
If I could I would do this for free
I have always had a deep love for animals. I began dog sitting at age 14 for my mother’s boss, and within the first week, I successfully taught her puppy how to give a paw. Since then, I have regularly helped friends care for their pets when they travel, and I currently cat-sit whenever my time back from college aligns with their needs. While in college, I volunteer weekly at a local dog shelter simply because I enjoy it so much. I take two dogs out at a time to walk and play with them, and after accumulating enough volunteer hours, I am trusted to foster dogs for the weekend. Spending time with animals brings me genuine happiness, and I truly value the care, companionship, and joy they bring into my life.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I always focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and stress-free. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, stick to the pet’s routine, and make sure they’re supervised in a secure environment. Through my experience pet sitting and volunteering at a dog shelter, I’ve learned how important patience, consistency, and trust are when caring for animals.
Ratings and reviews
Maria was an amazing sitter. We were so lucky to have her respond to our last-minute dog walking request. Our dogs looked really happy when we got back home. We will definitely book with her again!

Schedule
I am home from college for a month and have a very open Monday–Friday schedule. I currently work part time with DoorDash, but I am looking to spend my time doing something more enjoyable and meaningful. Since I have a flexible schedule and few weekday commitments, I am available for consistent pet care, walks, or sitting during the week.
