Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog lover and outdoor adventurer
My family dog passed away in 2024, since then I’ve filled my doggy-shaped hole by volunteering at Coco’s Heart (dog rescue) and house/dog sitting for families in my area. I work from home, so I’m able to give your animals their much-deserved attention throughout the day! My experience ranges from young puppies just brought to rescue, teenage dogs, to senior dogs, all needing special attention in their own ways. I am punctual with medications, meals and bathroom breaks.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Maintaining and respecting my client’s home is of upmost importance when caring for pets. Keeping not only their environment clean and safe, but the owners as well is important to what I offer. Whether it’s expected or not, I will leave the place the same, if not better than you left it. I strive for frequent communication and avoid outside environments that may stress pets out.
Ratings and reviews
Maria is a true animal lover. She is a vetted volunteer for Coco’s Heart Dog Rescue. She is very conscientious when she is responsible for taking care of other people’s pets. Those responsibilities always come first before anything else. She understands the timeliness that is required when dog/cat sitting. She truly takes it very seriously. She is also an excellent communicator with the pet owners. As a pet owner herself, she has had years of experience, taking care of a dog. She can handle the variety of ups and downs that can happen throughout the course of a pet’s life. Whether you have a puppy or an aging senior dog, your pet is in loving and experienced care with Maria.

- Please let me know if there are any behaviors you are trying to train your dog not to do, so I can maintain their training during my time with them. Similarly, if you are training them to do anything, let me know how I can help and practice with them as well. Any fun words, songs or nicknames that might help them trust me or get them to listen.
