A Lifetime Dog Lover You Can Trust

Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’ve personally owned and cared for dogs continuously since my college days. I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, comfort level, and way of communicating—and I genuinely enjoy getting to know them. While I’m new to caring for pets professionally, I bring decades of hands-on experience as a dog owner, along with the reliability, patience, and good judgment that come from a lifetime of caring for animals. Whether your dog needs a good walk, a little playtime, a meal and fresh water, or simply some company while you’re away, I’ll care for them with the same attention and kindness I’d want for my own. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet—and your home—in someone else’s care. I take that responsibility seriously, and I’ll make sure you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

20 years of experience

Safety, trust & environment

In your home, I’ll respect your dog’s normal routine and follow your instructions closely, from feeding and medications to walks, playtime, and household rules. I’ll make safety a priority by keeping doors, gates, leashes, and surroundings secure and never putting your dog in an unfamiliar situation without your approval. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own and keep you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for.

Maria is an honest, loving, and very responsible person. She has taken care of my fur babies and they LOVE her! It warms my heart when they react with so much love when they see her. She has a good heart and they recognize it. They feel safe and I’m at ease knowing they are in good hands.
