Pet care experience

Your Dog’s New Adventure Buddy!

I grew up with dogs and have been caring for them my whole life. I treat every pup/cat like family, whether it’s a playful puppy/kitty, an energetic walker, or a senior who needs a gentler touch. With me, your dog/car gets love, safety, and a fun adventure every time. I currently have e 2 toy poodles and 2 cats but I am comfortable with bigger dogs as well. I grew up with 3 Great Danes 😊

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When I care for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own space while sticking to their usual routines. From walks and playtime to cuddle breaks, I keep them active and happy while giving them the love and attention they’re used to. I also treat your home with the same care and respect I give your pet.

House Sitting • Dec 25, 2025

Maria watched our dogs, our house, and even the chickens! Her attention to our "family" made our holiday travels less stressful knowing our furry babies were getting amazing care at home (Maria sent pictures daily!). We would be excited to have Maria help us again in the future! Maria is an absolute gem. 💎 Maria is dependable, thoughtful, and treats your pets like they’re her own—four legs, two legs, feathers, and all. If she has availability, grab it fast, because once you have Maria, you’ll never want to travel without her caring for the loved ones left behind again. 🐶🐔🏡

Maria is one of the most caring and trustworthy people I know, and her love for animals has been a constant throughout her life. She grew up with dogs and has always been the go-to person for friends and family when it comes to pet care. Today, she has two dogs and two cats of her own, and the way she balances giving each of them attention, structure, and affection speaks volumes about her dedication. Maria is reliable, patient, and truly understands that every pet has its own personality and needs. Whether it’s going on long walks, keeping up with energetic pups, or making sure shy cats feel safe and comfortable, she has a natural ability to connect with animals. I’ve seen firsthand how quickly pets warm up to her, which is no surprise—she treats every animal as if they were part of her family. If you’re looking for someone who is responsible, compassionate, and will give your pets the same level of care she gives her own, Maria is an excellent choice for a pet sitter or dog walker. She’ll not only meet your pets’ needs but go above and beyond to make sure they feel loved while you’re away.

It’s helpful to know your pet’s routines, likes and dislikes, any health concerns, and any special instructions for feeding, walking, or play. This helps me make sure your babies feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away.
