Pet care experience

Owner away? I walk, sit, and stay.

I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 12. I have been relied upon by family and friends to walk and feed their pets, for the most part multiple animals at once. I am currently a pre-veterinary student at UVM.

Safety, trust & environment

I am incredibly accustomed to the furry friend chaos. I’ve been dealing with the craziness of animals for a long time and have been very good in the best about shutting down any excessive behavior in a calm and cool manner.

Maria was very dependable and took great care of our home and our leash-reactive city dog. She responded promptly to messages and assured us that all was going well. Our dog was relaxed and happy when we got home and the house was just as clean as we had left it. Fair rate and great service— highly recommend!

Upon first meeting Maria, I knew our doggos were in the best of hands. We came home from a week away to some very happy dogs and a pristine house, thanks to her. Absolutely would ask her to dog sit again!
