Pet care experience
My family owned a veterinary practice and pet hotel growing up, so I've been surrounded by animals my entire life. I've personally owned multiple dogs - goldens, pugs, and shichons! - and lived with my roommates' cats, who I loved like my own. I often babysit friends' pets in the city and am happy to open my home to yours! I own a 5 month old, fully-vaccinated 13 lb French bulldog named Fonzie who is exceptionally chill for his breed and head of the Welcoming Committee for pets staying with me. He adores other dogs and cats, but is also very good about respecting their space and entertaining himself alone. With that being said, I can only host pets who are comfortable spending extended periods of time with another dog. There's a high likelihood your pet will be the star of my Instagram story, so expect lots of "content" coming from our time together :)
Reviews
Maria was patient, professional, and really kind with my Angelino. He spent a really good time with her. Next time I come to NY, I know where to leave my puppy!
Maria was wonderful with our puppy Nova! She was attentive, reliable, and sent great picture / video updates! Nova can’t wait to go back 🐾
Maria is the BEST. She sent tons of pictures/updates, and my 12 week old puppy was tuckered out but in great spirits at the end of the day. 100% recommend!
Maria took amazing care of my cat and I really appreciated all the pictures and videos!
About Maria M.

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a generously-sized apartment with lots of room for your pets to walk around, and don't mind if they want to hang out on the couch with me. I also have a small enclosed outdoor space if your pet is more comfortable or if it's safer for them to spend time outside that way. When I'm at your house I'm super mindful of your space and respect the rules of the roost, just let me know what you're comfortable with! Please note that my home is not a good fit if your dog is not friendly with small dogs, has trust issues with men, has difficulty with stairs, or barks excessively.
Home
Information Maria M. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special quirks I need to be aware of, particularly when it comes to allergies or interactions with other animals.
A typical day
I live very close to the east side river walking path and also to Madison Square Park, where there's a beautiful new dog park if your pet is permitted to run around with the other dogs. We always do a little photoshoot to send to you so you can be a part of our time together!

I currently work part-time from home, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets and go on walks around the city.
