Pet Care With Love

I’m Maria, I live in Richmond Hill, Queens. I’m retired from my own laundry business, and have plenty of time to care for your pet. I love to jog and walk. I do most days in Forest Park, right across the street from my home. It’s a great place to jog and walk with pets. I live in a private home, which has a fenced backyard, where pets can relax outdoor. I’ve had pets of my own in the past, and I know what’s expected for their care. I have none of my own now, because I travel several months in the winter; but when I’m at home I’d love to take care of your special friend.

Maria is amazing! She gave me a complete peace of mind leaving my dog with her. She kept him active, was great at communicating, and very attentive to his needs. I will definitely be booking again with her!

María gave my dog love and affection. She is an excellent dog sitter. The park is nearby and therefore dog walks are guaranteed. Thx Maria, I appreciate your expertise in dealing with my dog.

Maria is wonderful! She is reliable, caring, and very attentive in my experiences with her walking and pet-sitting my chihuahua mix. I always feel a sense of relief when I know my pup is with Maria! Highly recommend!

I’ve known Maria for twelve years. She’s a farm girl at heart, loves to care for animals. She’s boarded my dog many times, when I’ve traveled. Maria’s is loving and caring ; and is someone you can trust to be a caregiver for your pet when you’re away.
