Pet care experience

Loving them is a privilege of a few

There hasn’t been a day since I was a little girl that I wasn’t surrounded by animals in my household. From my first dog, Lassie, a beautiful Collie who I grew up to love, to 3 German Shepards who surrounded my house during my childhood, to 2 golden retrievers when I was.a teenager to lastly Bobby, a young Rottweiler and Minga, our stray dog who we adopted from the streets. Im used to being surrounded by animals and I love it. I believe that a big part of a loving and caring family comes from that unconditional love that only pets are capable of giving. So for this reasons im looking to help out pet owners who need a hand when their pets need their love. I also have the knowledge to interact with different types of pets, from bunnies who we used to have in our house to cats and parrots. Lately we have been taking care of Cooper, our neighbors cat who comes over to our house and hangs out with us when our friends are traveling. At the moment we don’t have pets in our household, meaning that taking care of your pet will allow us to feel at home too. I’m a freelance designer and my schedule is super flexible, so I'm sure I would be taking care of your pet as if he/she is my full-time job! My husband is WFH so we will spend all our time together playing and cuddling with your pet. We love to go out and walk in the neighborhood (It's Church Hill, how can you not) and I'm sure they will love that too. We're able to give your pet all the attention needed, and they would never be unattended. We take boarding seriously and safety is our number one priority. Your pet will always have someone around to give it lots of attention and affection. We do everything we can to meet the needs of your pet to assure they are safe, comfortable, and having fun during their stay.

Maria was very attentive to all of our pups” needs and we felt very reassured they were in good hands. We highly recommend Maria and will definitely have her take care of our pups in the future.

Maria and Luis did a great job of keeping our cats fed, happy and loved. This was our first time using Rover and I am so grateful our first experience was so smooth and easy with Maria and Luis. They arrived on time, sent multiple photos and updates and it was clear they knew how to work with our shy and energetic cats.

Maria and Luis were wonderful with Murphy! They were communicative and easy going. I was nervous, as this was my first time having Murphy walked by a stranger, but feel so comfortable leaving her in their care!!

Maria did a fabulous job taking Buffy on walks! It usually takes a while for Buffy to warm up, but she instantly took a liking to Maria 😌 We would definitely book her again. Thank you!

This is my second time using Maria! She goes above and beyond to take care of my fur babies. She is very punctual and trustworthy.

Let me know if your pet has any allergies or if they are on meds! It’s important for me to keep your pet out of harm and make sure that they have fun but also keep them healthy and safe. Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors I need to watch for! Also make me aware of any places to stay away from (fear of water, etc) I like to know how your dog is socially. Do they like other large dogs, small dogs? Do they play well with others?
