Pawsome Care

From my earliest memories, I've been surrounded by the joy and companionship of various pets. Whether it was caring for my own cat, two dogs, and two parrots in my childhood home, or stepping in to assist friends and family with their beloved furry (or feathered!) companions, my passion for animal care has always been a central part of who I am. Over the years, I've nurtured and bonded with animals of all kinds, understanding their unique needs and quirks. From leisurely walks in the park to ensuring they're fed with the right balance of nutrition and love, I've provided attentive care to countless pets. My connection with animals is more than just a duty; it's a deep-rooted affection paired with practical care. Your pets won't just get the essentials; they'll have someone who understands their needs and genuinely enjoys their company.

Maria was terrific! Great communication, and she was able to help us out on short notice during a chaotic holiday travel season. Highly recommended!

Tommy loves staying with Maria. She keeps him safe, comfortable, gives him lots of attention and cuddles, takes him on nice walks, and sends great updates and pictures. I can trust her to take care of him so I don’t have to worry when I’m at work! Maria is very professional and reliable.

Maria was amazing. Awhile back I needed someone semi last minute as my regular guy forget to tell me about a 3 week vacation. I contacted Maria, we set up a tone for her to meet Cooper and everything went smoothly. I just recently needed a sub for a couple days and she came through again. Very communicative. If I didn’t already have someone I liked, I’d def hire her full time. 😀🐶

Safety, trust & environment

I'm able to come to see your pets in your home or host them at mine. I live in a one-bedroom apartment and can host cats and dogs. Whenever I sit with your pet, I'm always available and can send updates when needed, so you don't have to worry about it.

A typical day

I love to walk with dogs! I live in the area with parks nearby, so we have a lot of trails to explore. If your dog isn't into long walks, I can stay with them at home and play games and toys so they stay happy and entertained.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I should know. I'd like to know how they behave during walks (do they afraid of other dogs, cats, or children) and what activities they are comfortable with.
