Pet care experience

Animal lover is an understatement!

I have had animals since I was a child. Currently, my husband & I have 4 dogs of all ages & 2 kittens. Animals make this life an amazing one & getting to share my passion with others is very important to me! I love the opportunity to help people out especially knowing what it is like to need help every now & then. I believe all animals deserve the same attention, love & care. If I can help in that way at all, it benefits the owner & the dog/cat as well! My animals are my world & I know yours are too. I would love to be able to give them the same love! My boys & girls are the best thing to ever happen to me. Anyone who feels the same is blessed!

Maria took exceptional care of my old Arthritic dog. She was thoughtful of his specific needs and went above and beyond what was asked of her.

My dogs second visit with Mari. They were so happy when we arrived at drop off. Maria took great care of them and kept me posted with photos and videos. Thank you, Maria!! We will be back.

Dog Walking • Mar 19, 2025

Maria was great and helped me out walking two big high energy dogs on short notice. Maria was communicative, sent videos of the dogs which made me feel so comfortable, and spent good time with them.

Wonderful experience. You can tell she loves animals and immediately at the meet and greet she was comfortable with them both. We will not hesitate to use Maria again and it is peace of mind knowing she came to care for my pups. Thank you river for having wonderful people to be caregivers for our pets.

My 2 labs were loved and cared for as part of the family, by Maria, her child & husband AND Maria’s own wonderful dogs were so sweet and welcoming. I was sent pictures every day and I could tell my dogs were relaxed and spoiled with love. While my dogs were excited to see me when I picked them up, they were not frantic and panicked to leave (as has happened with past dog sitters). Maria “gets” animals and animal behavior, and her set up is great for dogs that are used to being family members. Highly recommend if your dog(s) are the sort of temperament that “plays well with others” and just wants to be loved on.
