Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize creating a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets feel safe, understood, and cared for. Whether I’m in my home or my client’s home, I focus on consistency, respect, and attentive routines that help animals feel comfortable. I also have a fenced yard for dogs to play freely.

Information Maria M. would like to know about your pet
**For everyone’s safety, I require all visiting dogs to be fully up to date on vaccinations to help prevent illnesses like kennel cough, especially since I have a small pet at home. Proof of vaccinations will be asked prior to booking** You’re also more than welcome to share any special needs, routines, or behaviors your dog has so I can provide the most comfortable and attentive care. This includes medication schedules, mobility support, anxiety triggers, or any unique preferences.
A typical day
I keep dogs happy with simple enrichment like snuffle mats, mini puzzles, and gentle play such as soft fetch or tug. I mix in cozy bonding—cuddles, calm music, light brushing—and offer relaxed outdoor time through slow sniff walks or supervised exploring.

Reviews
Maria is an amazing, caring pet sitter. She has watched our dog on numerous occasions and takes outstanding care of her, provides updates and pictures, and asks plenty of questions to ensure she caring for our dog to the best of her ability. I highly recommend Maria as a pet caregiver. She will treat your pet with love and car as if it is her own.
Maria watched my little puppy paco and did a wonderful job taking care of him. Paco came home so well mannered and behaved better than he left. Maria is an excellent choice to have as someone take care of your little fur buddies. Glowing remarks from me and a present and future customer.
Maria is very friendly, caring, and gentle with pets! Very trustworthy and dependable and has been taking care of my little one for 3 years every now and then. And have always had such great experiences with her!
Maria is absolutely amazing! She took care of both my dogs for a few days while I was in the hospital. My dogs are VERY different and each require different needs. Maria was able to accommodate their needs and was in constant communication with me, which made me feel at ease. She’s loving, caring and trustworthy. 100% recommend!
