Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog’s best friend (after you😉)
As a child, my mother's profession as a dog trainer meant that we had a Giant Schnauzer and two German Shepherds. I fondly remember that time and miss having a dog around. Nowadays, as someone who works from home, I occasionally take care of my friends' dogs, and strive to offer them a secure and happy home atmosphere. IMPORTANT: There's always someone around as my sister also works from home. If you want your pup to be the only one, we don't take care of multiple dogs. Rest assured, we will inform you if there is already a dog under our care.

Ratings and reviews
Maria took such wonderful care of our puppy, Archie, during our trip to LA. She was incredibly flexible with our schedule, kept us updated with photos and gave us complete peace of mind throughout our trip. It was obvious how much she genuinely loves dogs and Archie was so well cared for and happy with her. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely book with Maria again. Highly recommend!
Maria is the best!!!
Maria watched our cat and dog for a long weekend, and she was so patient upon pickup when our cat decided to hide and not want to go home. We loved all the pictures and videos we got while we were away. Maria is such a gem.
Maria was more than we could have hoped for as a dog sitter. She offered a meet-and-greet before Lucky's stay, which significantly reduced his anxiety and helped him feel comfortable right away. When we arrived for the first stay, Lucky ran straight into her home with his tail wagging. Throughout his stay, she sent us regular messages, photos, and videos of him having fun and playing with another dog she was caring for. It was wonderful to see how happy he was making a new friend and feeling completely at home. Her updates gave us great peace of mind, and I felt comfortable leaving Lucky in her care with complete trust. We could tell he was well cared for and genuinely enjoying himself. We would definitely book with Maria again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.
Clover was so happy when I picked her up. Maria is very kind, and her house seems to be a calm environment, which is much needed for our anxious baby. We were worried Clover might not make it through the night with a stranger, but their sleepover went well, and Maria sent lots of pictures throughout Clover’s stay. We appreciate you, Maria!!!
Maria is so wonderful with Wally!! Can’t wait to use her again :)

Schedule
As a web designer, I tend to sit all day, which is why my Apple Watch constantly reminds me to exercise more. Walking your dog is a great way for me to stay active, and I'm happy to take them out for multiple walks or even a run if needed. I work from home every day during the workweek and on weekends, I like to spend my time on the beach, where your furry friend is welcome to join me for a day of walking, playing, and swimming in the ocean.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My apartment has no other pets or children, and it also features a large patio where your dog can spend time outside if it desires.
A typical day
I have a nice park not really far from my place and we play ball and other games with dogs. Also I used to run with my friend's doggie.
