Pet care experience

Mom of dogs and humans

We love dogs in our house. We've had 3 dogs of different sizes at one time. I loved going for bike rides with my Husky and my Border Terrier. Now we have a small Border Terrier named Indy. I love training dogs to do tricks, and just cuddling up in bed or the couch. Your dog friend will be have a blast with us and get all the love. I particularly like large dogs and I don't mind them jumping on me when they're excited, they just think they're little in their heads. My kids, of course, like the little ones and are always ready to play and be gentle with the little guys. Your dog will be just one more family member to us.

Maria is a great sitter! She took a very good care of my one year old cat when I was out of town. She made sure to keep me posted throughout 5 days. Thank you, Maria!

Great communication, she was very easy to work with and you can tell she loves dogs! Our dog is a senior with some anxiety and personality quirks, she did so well with him and he settled in well. We plan on booking with her again!

Maria was really excellent! During our play date, Scrappy took a quick liking to her. She was extremely patient getting to know him and asked a lot of questions about his personality and behaviors. You could see Scrappy was having a great time with Maria and her pets in all of the cute photos she sent!

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets feel safe and cared for. I follow each pet's routine closely, including feeding, exercise, medications, and enrichment. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure the space is pet-proofed, monitored, and filled with love and positive attention. I believe in earning your pet’s trust through patience and consistency, and I always treat them like part of the family.
