Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I work three days a week—usually Wednesday, Thursday, and one weekend day—so I have plenty of flexibility and time to give your dog the attention they deserve on my days off.

About Maria P.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, your pet will be treated like family. I have a sweet senior dog who is calm and loves lounging on the couch, so the environment is quiet and cozy. I make sure to provide a safe, comfortable space where pets can feel at ease. Whether it's in my home or yours, I prioritize safety and trust, keeping your dog’s routine and comfort in mind in everything I do.
Information Maria P. would like to know about your pet
It's helpful to know your pet's routine, including regular activities like meal times, walks, and favorite toys, to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. Understanding any health needs, such as medical conditions, medications, or allergies, allows me to provide the right care. Knowing your pet's temperament, whether they’re shy, friendly, energetic, or more laid-back, helps me tailor my approach to their personality. It’s also important to be aware of any ongoing training, such as housebreaking or leash manners, so I can reinforce good behaviors. I’ll also ask about their favorite activities, like fetch, walks, cuddles, or solo playtime, so I can make sure they’re having fun. Lastly, if they have any behavioral quirks—like being scared of loud noises or certain areas they don’t like to be touched—I'll take extra care to keep them at ease. The more I know, the better I can care for your pet!
A typical day
A typical day with the pets I care for is packed with fun activities and lots of attention! We’ll start the day with a walk or a fun game of fetch to get them moving, followed by some playtime at home—like tug-of-war or chasing toys around the living room. After that, we’ll wind down with some quiet time—either snuggling on the couch, watching TV together, or giving them some chew toys to keep them busy. Throughout the day, I’ll keep their routine steady with meal times, bathroom breaks, and regular check-ins to make sure they’re happy. Whether it’s a relaxing nap or a playful romp, your dog will feel engaged and loved at all times ◡̈

Reliable, Loving Care for Your Dog
Pet care experience
I absolutely love spending time with dogs, whether they’re energetic puppies or sweet seniors. I’m experienced with things like sticking to training routines, giving medication, or just making sure your dog feels extra loved and cared for while you’re away.
Reviews
Always super dependable and great to have at our place taking care of our little dude.
Maria watched our house, dog Maggie and cat Kevin for a week. Communication was perfect and everything went smoothly. Would highly recommend and use again. Kevin even gave four paws up.
Maria was great from start to finish. She was super communicative, very responsive, and kept me updated while we were out of town. My dogs we're all in great spirits when we got home, and I could tell she gave great care to them. We can't thank you enough, and will definitely book you again! Thank you!!!
Maria was so great. Easy to communicate with, took great care of our old dachshund , and helped us out in a last min situation. We ll definitely book her again.
