Highlights
Pet care experience
I grew up with dogs and cats!
I’ve had pets my entire life, and two years ago I worked with a dog-sitting company—a truly rewarding experience. I love being surrounded by these four-legged friends, and I have a natural ability to communicate with them.
Cat care experience
Maria also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Ratings and reviews
Maria was so great taking care of my dog. She made her feel right and home and came back exhausted! I Highly recommend her!
Maria is wonderful! Incredibly reliable and a great caretaker for my cat Phoebe.
Maria is outstanding and truly goes above and beyond. She is reliable, caring, and clearly takes great pride in what she does. She will definitely be my go-to person whenever we need someone to watch our dog. I would highly recommend Maria and her services to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet.
Maria was great to all three of our cats. She kept everything clean and in order. We were happy to get home and see our cats were well taken care of. 5 stars for Maria. We will definitely use her again. The Waitt’s
My dog was very happy staying with Maria. They took walks daily. Communication was also very good.
Maria was amazing! My dog was so happy and comfortable at her home. When our travel plans were delayed due to the weather, Maria was incredibly understanding and accommodating. I highly recommend her and would absolutely trust her with my dog again!

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, I focus on creating a safe, fun, and structured environment for every pet. We’ve recently added a secure fence to our extra-large backyard so visiting pups now have a spacious, supervised play area to run, explore, and burn off energy. In addition, I make sure dogs stay active and engaged with daily walks around the neighborhood, tailored to their age and energy level. In a client’s home, I maintain their pet’s routine as closely as possible—feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and walks—so they feel comfortable and cared for in their familiar space. My goal is always to provide consistency, safety, and lots of loving attention, whether I’m hosting your pet or caring for them in your home.
Pets
A typical day
I tailor activities to each pet’s energy level and personality so they feel happy, engaged, and comfortable. Typically, we enjoy refreshing morning and afternoon walks, plus lots of playtime with toys in the backyard. I also love incorporating mentally stimulating games—like doggy puzzles, scent games, or indoor fetch—especially on rainy days or for pets who enjoy a good brain challenge. No matter their style, I make sure every pet gets the perfect mix of exercise, enrichment, and fun.
