Never miss a good earscratcher!

Pet care experience

Funny story: when I was a young child, I would accompany my mother while she cleaned the home and I used to be afraid of huge dogs. I grew up getting along with dogs and cats around me while my mother wouldn't let us have any because of our large family. I'm very grateful that my grandmother and family friends taught me how to walk potty, and varies playtime with dogs when I was twelve. Now I always take a break from what I'm doing to give every furry cutie a good scratch behind the ears/head, or belly!

Maria was such a great person to have watch my Bennie. So sweet and spent time with him. Gave me lots of updates. I will be asking for her help again!

She’s great with my pup and cat. She also had great communication giving a few updates during the day.

Maria was amazing! Great communication and made my Millie feel so loved. I felt so comfortable leaving my girl with Maria for the weekend and I will definitely be using her next time I’m out of town!

I may don't have my best friends to company your fur buddies, I can never recall a dog ever disappointing me with a decent, safe wrestle or some soothing ear scratching! I wouldn't mind to chill with your cats like we are the cool kids in the world. Growing up babysitting my siblings as the oldest in the family and outside of the family, your animals would be treated like they are my babies too! I figured it would be better to start off with pet-sitting as a fantastic start while in college before moving on to babysit children or creating a family! I'm happy to give housesitting whenever you have forgotten to fold your clothes or clean something, whether you will be gone for a long period or are in a hurry to depart.

Information Maria M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog okay with music that blast with medium level sound because sometimes I might have to do homework short time after playtime and I usually listen to music while focusing. During Summer time or some holidays, my ten-years old brother loves meeting small-medium dogs as I watch him during the day our mom works, let me know if your dog approves with children! <3

A typical day

I love to nurture dogs with long big hugs and good scratches. We’ll play a bunch of safe wrestle like tag-of-war which is mostly my favorite, chasing game around the house and what your dog/s prefer to play. As well as many cuddles and naps! ❤️
