Experienced Pet Caretaker for Hire

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Maria. I am media professional with a BA in Writing, Literature & Publishing from Emerson College. My entire life has been spent caring for pets, and it has always been a joy. The house in which I grew up was (and continues to be) quite the animal farm. We have three amazing rescue dogs—a black lab/boxer mix, a beagle/coon hound mix, and a diva cockapoo. Each has a very distinct personality, so I am accustomed to a varied group of animals coexisting in one house! I have spent the last several years caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and fish in the Boston and Philadelphia area. I have excellent references, so please feel free to inquire about them. I live in the Fishtown area of Philadelphia and currently work full-time. I typically work 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. I'm able to do walks and/or drop-ins after my work hours. I usually have off Friday and Saturday, so both are completely open for petsitting. Of course, feel free to contact me if you're interested!

Maria is the sweetest! I scheduled two walks with her for my golden retriever puppy and she was sweet enough to stay over in between the walks with him on a hot day. It was so nice for us to know he was not completely alone and had fun! Our puppy really likes her and we will definitely be calling her again!

Maria was an amazing help to us when my wife and I recently traveled internationally for vacation! She was attentive, sent us daily updates, and went out of her way to make our kitties feel comfortable! We will absolutely have Maria stay with them again in the future!

Maria is a great dog sitter! Responsive, good with communication, responsible, and my dogs adored her. I absolutely trust her with my pups and in my home.

In terms of my dog-sitting style, I am very affectionate, caring, and attentive. I'm accustomed to living in a house with 1-3 dogs at a given time, so I understand how to navigate potential territorial issues and share equal amounts of care with everyone.
