Availability

I’m a recent master’s graduate with a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of time caring for pets throughout the day. Being around animals is something I truly enjoy, especially since I grew up with dogs and miss having them in my daily life. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m available for short-term boarding, drop-in visits, walks and house sitting. I’m able to adapt to each pet’s needs and provide consistent attention, playtime, and care.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets by following their regular routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their environment, whether in my home or theirs, and provide plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I always respect the owner’s instructions and preferences, and I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away.

Pet care experience

Lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and miss having pets of my own, which is why pet sitting is meaningful to me. I can provide walks, playtime, feeding and attentive care, and I’m patient with untrained pets. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care.

Maria is great. Our second time boarding Evee and it's so nice to see how eager my dog was to get to her!

Maria was a wonderful and caring host for Alfie. She kept us informed with messages and photos, and Alfie was very happy. Thank you, Maria!

Maria was the perfect dog sitter! We dropped off our 10-year-old Aussie Shepherd for one night — drop-off was easy, and communication was great throughout. She kept us in the loop with photos and updates, and our pup seemed completely comfortable with her and in her home. Couldn't ask for more. Highly recommend Maria for your next boarding or sitting!
