Pet care experience

I love take care and play with dogs

I've taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old, my firsts dogs were a cocker spaniel, Collie, Poodle, and when I was 20 years old, I had a rescue Siberian huskie, she was my big love, then she was Mom and her daughter lived with us also at the same time. The Mom, Pupila died 9 years ago, and our daughter Bonita died with a cancer at 12 years old in September 2022. Right now we don't feel prepared to have our own dog, we need more time.. but I love it to take care and walk with your dog, if you feel comfortable and confident, thanks.

Maria is super cool and easy to work with. We've had various sitters walk our dog over the years and Maria is the best. Highly recommended.

Maria and her family were amazing! I could tell my pup had such a fun and comfortable time with them. I really appreciated the frequent updates and photos which made me feel at ease while I was away. I would definitely recommend!

Maria and her family took great care of our husky, Kona for SB weekend. She sent lots of updates to let us know what he was up to all weekend. She was extremely flexible with scheduling a meet and greet and for pick/drop off times. I’m sure Kona cant wait to be back!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about the care Niko received! From the moment we met, it was clear that Niko was in great hands. They took the time to understand her personality and needs, ensuring she felt comfortable and loved during her stay. Niko came home happy and well exercised, with a wagging tail and a big smile.

I’m happy to dog sit! I can do it at my house (I have a big fenced yard) or yours, whatever is best for your dog.

A typical day

I love to go to parks and to beaches, I live close to discovery park, I let the dogs take the time to smell without rush and have fun.
