Pet care experience

Patient, compassionate, and loving.

I’ve taken care of my friend’s pets through out the years. Mostly special needs dogs - following meds/ routine is important. I would want my pet to feel secure and love while I am away.. since anxiety is high when they do not have their humans home.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I am great at following directions… I also give the same care I give to my pets. If you need me to stomp on the yard to make sure bunnies are not present. I will look like a fool to ensure your pets safety.

Maria was exceptional while watching our two dogs for about 10 days. From the start, her communication was clear, consistent, and reassuring, which made it so much easier for us to enjoy our time away. She kept us updated with regular messages and videos, and it was obvious our dogs were happy, relaxed, and getting lots of love and attention. She went above and beyond with daily walks, plenty of affection, and keeping our home clean and well cared for. It’s not easy to leave your pets and house in someone else’s hands, but Maria made the whole experience stress-free. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.

Wow! Maria did an incredible job watching our pet for three days. My young dog is quite the handful, and on top of her being a crazy adolescent puppy, she was suffering some health issues. Maria went above and beyond. She is responsible, communicative, and kind.

Maria was exceptional!!! The care and attention she gave to Raleigh, my 6 month Aussie was on par if not more than what I do. She took time to work with him on behavioral issues and made amazing progress. My pup learned so much during Maria’s stay and was transformed in a few areas. Maria took outstanding care of my condo as well, leaving it spotless. This was my first time leaving my pup and the daily updates with photos and videos were immensely comforting. I can tell that Raleigh misses Maria and I am sure will be beside himself the next time I book Maria to care for him.

Maria did a good job keeping my dog active and happy while I was gone for a day. She also responded quickly and made sure expectations were clear. I'd recommend her to others.

It is important to do a meet and greet to make sure we are a good fit. Any special needs and medication times if any are needed. Walking times/ behaviors I should be aware. Are they friendly with other dogs or people if I am out and about with them.
