Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving care for every pet🐶🐱
I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats through friends and family, and I’ve always enjoyed caring for them. I have a 10 y/o dog of my own, so I’m especially comfortable with the patience, attention, and extra care that senior pets may need. I also have experience caring for cats and have spent years looking after pets for friends and family. When I first moved to Canada 8 years ago, I regularly dog-sat for a family friend, which is where I really started enjoying caring for other people’s pets. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, some extra patience, or simply a little company and affection, I’ll treat them like they’re my own.

Safety, trust & environment
For now, I’m offering dog walking and drop-in visits only. Although I may offer house sitting in the future. My top priorities are always safety and trust. For walks, I make sure your dog is securely leashed, stay aware of our surroundings, avoid unsafe areas or situations, and follow your instructions regarding their routine, behaviour, and needs.
Ratings and reviews
Maria truly loves dogs; to her, they are special creatures that deserve respect and the utmost care. She enjoys walking them and giving them all her attention and love.
Camila is very special with our dog and loves him very much; he loves going out with her and comes back very happy from his walk.
Maria has taken such good care of my two cats. Maria is a very responsible, lovely, professional and reliable person who I would trust my pets with. She’s also taken care of family friend’s dogs and I’ve heard nothing but good things about her work.
Maria is a kind, responsible, and trustworthy person who truly loves animals. She is caring, patient, and attentive, and I would feel completely comfortable trusting her with my pets. I highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet caregiver! 🐾❤️

Schedule
I work during the week, so my schedule is generally busy from Monday to Thursday, but I can accommodate visits times after 5pm. From Friday through Sunday, I have more flexibility and extra time to dedicate to pet care. I enjoy spending my weekends outdoors, staying active, and being around animals, so dog walking and pet sitting would fit naturally into my routine. I’m excited to use my free time doing something I genuinely enjoy while giving pets plenty of attention, exercise, and care.
