Experienced foster and dog mom

I’m an experienced foster, currently with the LASPCA, and I have a dog of my own. I love watching my friends dogs when they go out of town, and I’d be delighted to care for your babies too! While they’re here they can enjoy a large fenced in yard, dog friendly furniture, and about 8,000 toys 🤪

Maria was really great handling my dog, I was a bit worried because my dog is a bit hyper, but she continue to send pictures of her having a great time. It made me feel 10 times better definitely would recommend.

Maria was amazing with my Dobby! She sent adorable photos, provided updates, and was very quick with all responses. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!

Maria was amazing and took such good care of our cat! She went above and beyond and in his care, co-ordination for his pick up and communication. Would highly recommend her, she’s the best!

María was an excellent sitter for Toby :) he was well cared for and a happy pup when I came to pick him up. I will definitely use Maria again when I come back to New Orleans. Thank you for taking care of Toby.

I have a sweet but reactive dog, and Maria is so good with him! She’s not intimated by him, can walk him despite his sometimes lunging at other dogs or cats. He’s stayed at her house while I’m out of town, and was super reliable. She’s communicative when needed, and is happy to help out when I only need help walking him, not just dog sitting. She’s attentive to his specific personality. I love having her watch Marcel!

Maria’s the one! Always the first to step up to help an animal in need and one of the FEW people on earth I’d trust with my pup. She’s kind, giving, fun and really aligned with animals. She will look after your baby just like it’s her own and there’s nothing more a pet parent could want. 💕🐾
