I am very active, so I can provide your pet with plenty of walks and playtime! I am comfortable with both large and small animals.

Information Maria P. would like to know about your pet

Information about feeding schedule, medications, allergies, any behavioral issues, likes and dislikes, favorite toys, and how they typically interact with other animals and people would all be helpful.

A typical day

My priority is making sure your pet feels loved and cared for. That means lots of playtime, attention, and snuggles! We can go for walks, play with their favorite toys, or relax together – whatever makes them happiest. Tell me about your pet's favorite activities, and I'll be sure to incorporate them into our time together.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Maria, or Ria for short. I’m excited to meet and care for your furry friend! I've loved and cared for animals of all shapes and sizes my entire life—including dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, crabs, fish, and farm animals. These days, my heart belongs to my sweet Pembroke Welsh Corgi.

This is the second time I’ve had Maria take care of take care of my fur babies. She always does such a wonderful job with them. She is very caring with them and is very interactive with them. This time she spent the night in my home and she was very respectful of my home and space. Maria is very willing to send updates and pictures if asked. I will definitely be using her again.

Maria did an amazing job taking care of my cat when I was gone. She took the time to take pictures and send them to me. She played with her and gave her extra love. I will definitely be using Maria again!

I have had Maria look after my dog and cat on several occasions and she is the best. She loves animals so much and treated mine like they were her own. She took great care to understand their feeding schedules and special needs. She took the time to play with them and send me pictures so I knew they were happy and well cared for. I would definitely have her take care of my babies anytime.
