Professional Pet Sitter

Hello there! I'm Maria, and my passion for caring for furry friends blossomed when I began pet sitting at 16. Since then, I've had the privilege of looking after countless wonderful dogs and cats, and I've become experienced in administering various medications, from insulin injections to anxiety medication for our more sensitive companions. Whether you need convenient drop-in visits, reliable walking services, or boarding, I'm here to help. To ensure you feel completely at ease, I'm happy to schedule a phone call or an in-person meet-and-greet before I care for your beloved pet – just let me know what works best for you!

Maria was flexible in rescheduling her visit when we needed her a bit later. Maggie loves her visits

Maria and Maggie hit it off immediately. We booked Maria for three more visits as soon as they came back from their walk.

Drop-In Visits • Jan 06, 2019

We were so happy to find Maria when we needed a cat sitter over the Christmas holidays. She responded very quickly to my initial inquiry and offered to arrange a Meet & Greet within a couple of days. Overall, Maria did a great job and was very careful to follow our instructions. She also reached out if/when she had any questions. We would definitely hire Maria again for cat care.

Maria has dogsat for my two goldendoodle’s a few times in the past. She has the patience to accommodate my 11 year old, and the energy to entertain my 1 year old puppy. After building rapport with Maria, I am confident when going out of town and leaving my dogs in her care. I would highly recommend Maria if you’re looking for a responsible, compassionate caregiver for your four-legged family members!

I help take care of my parent's dog, Tucker. He is the mini Goldendoodle in the photos! We love to go on walks, watch Food Network and play with the tennis ball in our yard!
