My primary focus is ensuring that you and your pet(s) feel safe and comfortable. I am committed to following specific instructions and providing exceptional care.

Information Maria L. would like to know about your pet

I am interested in knowing makes your pet happy! Please advise if your pet has any special needs or conditions ahead of time and I will support accordingly. Looking forward to understanding their unique personalities and preferences, so we can have the best adventures together!

A typical day

Living in the Marina, I enjoy staying active by walking or hiking at least 11k steps daily. I allow the pets to guide me by listening to their body language. Some walks are leisurely, allowing us to explore at a relaxed pace and engage our senses. Other times, we're running because we have so much energy to exert! Even routine activities can turn into playtime, whether it's an organized game of fetch or spontaneous fun that unfolds naturally in the moment.

Passionate Pet Technician✨

Pet care experience

I'm passionate about animals, meeting new personalities and being in nature! As a Pet Technician, I have experience caring for dogs and cats all age ranges. From a young puppy that requires mindful reinforcement to a senior dog that requires medication administration, I practice unconditional love and patience throughout my care. My #1 responsibility and goal is to create a safe environment and positive experience for all. To ensure my readiness and education, I am certified in Pet First Aid and CPR. I believe it's important to get to know and respect each pet's unique personality and preferences when caring for them. Looking forward to taking your furry friends on their favorite outdoor adventures soon!

Kiki’s first time with a sitter and I could enjoy my trip knowing she was well taken care of and that training was continuing! We have already booked Maria again! From the moment we met my dog and I were at ease. She came home happy. I met with 5 rovers and it was immediately clear that Maria would be a stress free environment for my gal! I

First time having Maria dog sit for me and it was great! When I picked up my dog she was so tired 😂 a sign of a fun and full day. Maria lives in a great area - lots of walks nearby and plenty of dogs to socialize with. On my way to pick up my dog I got stuck in a car accident traffic jam and Maria was understanding about me being late for pickup. I’ll definitely book with Maria again, she is super sweet and knowledgeable! 🐾

Maria was super helpful when I needed a dog walker last minute on a weekend. I needed someone trustworthy and kind to look after my dog and she was both! Mila was well taken care of and I could tell she was in great hands with Maria! Sent updates and pictures with each walk. Thanks again and I’m sure Mila can’t wait for her adventure with you!

Maria was a lifesaver! We booked her last minute before the holiday weekend and she was so kind and flexible. Her communication was excellent—we got plenty of cute pic updates. Our pup was well cared for and happy when we returned. Truly grateful, we’ll definitely book again!
