I prefer dogs over humans 😉

Pet care experience

I absolutely love animals, dogs especially. I have 15 years of experience in caring for dogs, and two of my own! I have two rescues, a shepherd-huskey mix, Collins and a chihuahua mix, Neema. I have always loved animals and started by watching my neighbors Rhodesian Ridgeback, Ashanti, when I was 12. From there I began to learn how to professionally and lovingly care for dogs of family friends, peers, and people from work. I work from home and would love to fill some of my extra time caring for your furry family member! I look forward to working with you!

Maria took great care of my dog! She went above and beyond to make him comfortable. She provided detailed notes on each visit. She even watered my house plants! I would absolutely recommend her and plan to book with her again in the future!

Maria was absolutely, positively amazing. My pup can get pretty anxious & this was my first time leaving him alone in San Diego since I moved here a couple months ago. Maria was timely with her visits, patient with Charlie, and even brought him different food options when he was not eating what I had left for him. Her updates on each visit were extremely thorough, and gave me the peace of mind I needed while I was across the country for the holidays. It is evident Maria truly cares about the pet she is caring for - would recommend her 10/10 for any pet-sitting needs.

Maria did an amazing job taking care of my boys. She sent nice updates and plenty of photos. I knew they were in good hands.

When my kitties were being rascals and breaking into my pantry, Maria went above and beyond in cleaning everything up for us. She kept an upbeat attitude in her messaging with us, and always sent cute pictures of my cats. Plus, she cleaned out the litter boxes multiple times without being asked (in the past, once was gold enough - now the standard has risen!) highly recommend 👍🏻
