Availability

Pet care is a regular part of my weekly routine, and I plan my schedule to make sure every dog and cat gets the time and attention they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping your pet company, I make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved. I also enjoy sending photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy while you’re away.

Maria was absolutely amazing with my pups Sprite and Toots while I was away and I can tell my pups had a great time with her! Maria was friendly, reliable, timely with her communication and quickly accommodated a pickup change when my flight was delayed. I will definitely book with Maria the next time I am away knowing that my pups are happy and well cared for! ☺️

Our two cats have never been more relaxed. Like they came back from the spa.
