I’m currently between jobs, which allows me the flexibility to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. Caring for animals is truly my passion, so I happily structure my days around feeding, walking, play, and companionship. It’s not just a routine for me—it’s something I look forward to and prioritize each day.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in their own home, following their routines for meals, walks or play, and cuddles. Every furry friend gets love, attention, and comfort while you’re away!

Information Maria M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs. I have so much love and compassion for pets, including those with special needs and would love a heads up before meeting and spending time together so that I can do my due diligence with plenty of research and come prepared!

A typical day

When I pet sit, I wake up early for morning potty time and if applicable, breakfast time! After that, I like to play and do some working out with my pet buddies, I love doing yoga. I also love hiking so if it’s allowed, I’d like to take my furry friends with me on the hike. After that we come back for some indoor fun and rest as well as more potty time and dinner. Finally it’s sleepy time, and we both get cozy and in bed for the day.

Maria is absolutely amazing with my pets! She’s so loving, attentive, and genuinely cares about their well-being. She takes the time to understand each of their personalities, wants, and needs, which makes such a difference. I always feel at ease knowing they’re in her care — she’s truly the best! 🐾💖

Maria is such an amazing pet caregiver. She has taken care of my 2 girlies numerous times with so much love and detail. She is super caring and patient and is a mother herself so she understands that these are more than pets, these are our babies. Highly recommend Maria to watch your furbabies. My girls Giselle and Lola consider her their aunty and I will be using her services often.

Maria is the biggest animal lover I know. She is patient, reliable, caring and trustworthy towards my dogs, Beau and Kulfi. I would not trust anyone else with my furry little guys. They do not want to come home with me after spending time with Maria. Highly recommended. A+++++++++++
