Qualifications
Ratings and 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!
There have been plenty of times where my family and I have been wanting to go out of town for days or even out for a couple of hours, and every time we care to have our sweet dog to be taken care of by Maria M. Our dog’s routine stays in place and the comforting company that Maria gives our dog is what keeps us reaching out to her for help every time we need it. Highly recommended having a reliable and loving pet caregiver like Maria M.
Maria used to dog sit my senior dog named Kahula. Kahlua was a 16 year old German shepherd who sadly passed away in April of 2021. Maria lived with my family and I from 2018-2021 and she was able to work from home and take care of Kahlua while we were away at work. Maria is very responsible and reliable as she was in charge of making sure Kahlua received her daily medications on time. We now have our own home with our 2 year old Shih Tzu puppy named, Suki. She’s an incredible dog mom and always ensures Sukis well fed and taken care of.

Schedule
I currently work a flexible hybrid schedule and have ample room for your dog to play. If you prefer to have your pup in their crate, please kindly let me know as I make my home, their home as well.

Home characteristics
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.
Pets
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.
