Pet care experience

Pet Sitting, Walks, and Cuddles!

I’ve been a pet lover all my life. I was lucky enough to work in an Animal Hospital while I was in college and learned basic pet First Aid, and how to spot health issues with animals before they become a problem. I currently walk and pet sit dogs as small as 7lbs to my biggest client who is 135lbs.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have two large pups at home ( Beau and Casey Jones), who stay home when I pet sit and walk dogs so that I can give my client’s pets my undivided attention.

Maria was wonderful! She took great care of our dog while we were away and shared updates on how things were going. She was very thorough during our meet and greet and everything went very smoothly during her stay. Pippin had a great time with her. I would definitely recommend Maria for anyone looking for a dog sitter!

Maria was amazing! This was our first time using Rover, and Maria was so accommodating with a last minute request to watch our dog, Zolie. We felt so comfortable leaving her with Maria as she has experience with reactive dogs. We would definitely love to work with her again!

Please let me if your pets have any special needs. I have personally been a pet mom to diabetic animals , tripods, and other special needs pets, so I understand how important it is to get it right.
