Safety, trust & environment

I provide care exclusively in the owner’s home, so pets can stay in their familiar environment where they feel most secure. I keep things consistent—feeding, walking, and cuddle times—while also being attentive to special needs like medications, dietary restrictions, or shyness around new people. Trust and transparency are very important to me. I share regular updates, photos, and videos so owners can relax knowing their pets are happy and safe.

A typical day

A typical day with me is all about keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable. We’ll start with a walk or some playtime to get their energy out, followed by fresh food and water. Throughout the day, I make sure they get attention, cuddles, and bathroom breaks at their usual times. If they love games, we’ll play fetch or tug-of-war; if they prefer calm, we’ll enjoy quiet companionship and snuggles. I always keep their routine consistent so they feel secure, and I send regular updates, photos, and videos so you know your furry friend is doing great. 🐾🐕‍🦺🐩🦮🐕🐈🐈‍⬛🐓

Pet care experience

Animals have always been part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve looked after young, energetic dogs, senior pets who needed a gentler approach, as well as cats, chickens, and other furry friends. My experience includes daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, and making sure pets feel safe and loved when their owners are away. What sets me apart is the personal attention I give—every pet is unique, and I take the time to understand their personality, routines, and needs.

Maria was the best! We had never left our pup home alone for an overnight stay, so we were very nervous. When we first met up with Maria, she was very good at asking all the right questions. She noted our instructions and followed them to a "T". While we were gone, she sent us lots of pictures and videos. We could tell that our dog was happy and well cared for. We would definitely book her again!

Maria is a great pet-sitter. She is attentive, caring and really enjoys animals. Queenie, our Standard Poodle is very busy and active one year old. She is a lot of work! Maria made taking care of Queenie look easy! They went on lots of walks, played fun games and had snuggle time. Maria communicated daily and sent lots of photos. I felt very comfortable with Maria taking care of Queenie and will definitely as her to care for Queenie again! 5 stars Kate S.

Maria did a great job taking care of our pets. We have an energetic Vizsla that needs a lots of exercise and she was perfect for him, taking him on lots of hikes and keeping him occupied. Thank you Maria!
