Hi, I’m Maria aka Masha - your pet’s new favorite person while you’re away! Whether you’ve got a goofy pup, a sassy cat, or a sweet senior pet, I’m here to take care of them. I offer personalized, in-home care that makes your pet feel safe, happy, and totally spoiled while you’re out. Here’s what you can count on when you book with me: ✔️ One-on-one attention – I take time to bond with your pet and learn what makes them feel most at ease. Whether it's tug-of-war, window watching, or cozy cuddles, I’m all in. ✔️ Mental & physical enrichment – I love engaging pets with play, affection, and a little stimulation to keep them sharp and smiling. ✔️ Senior pet TLC – I’m patient and experienced with older pets and happy to help with meds, slow strolls, or just being their gentle companion. I know how important it is to feel peace of mind when you leave your pet behind - and I’m here to provide exactly that. 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝘂𝗽 𝗮 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁-𝗮𝗻𝗱-𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝘁!

Maria took such good care of both my dogs! One is a senior and one is high energy so they have different needs and both were happy having Maria stay with them. Though not at all necessary, I think she even left our house cleaner than it was when she arrived. Maria was wonderful to take care of both my girls overnight for a few days in our house. She even sent a few photos each day - something I really looked forward to know everyone was happy!

Maria goes a wonderful job with our pets. Her communication is excellent and her sincere care for them is comforting while we are away. Maria is a gem and we are so happy to be able to rely on her!

Maria does a wonderful job caring for our home and animals while we’re away. She is conscientious and attentive to detail. We have a senior cat who takes medicine, a youthful exuberant extra large dog who wants lots of exercise and play time, and a new 10 week old kitten who extra needs care and supervision while being acclimated to her new home and other pets. Maria handled it all flawlessly, and we returned after 4 nights, 5 days to happy animals and an orderly tidy house. Maria is a very nice person and communication is always pleasant and easy. The only problem is that she’s so good she’s in high demand so sometimes she’s already booked. I consider myself very lucky when she’s available to pet sit for us! Bonus is that she’s a great photographer and sends us the most adorable pics of our pets. I highly recommend Maria.

Maria was professional, communicative and friendly. While I was away, she sent photos and updates of my pets but didn’t bombard me with unnecessary questions. When I returned home, I could tell my pets were well taken care of and the house was just as I left it, if not cleaner. I’d highly recommend Maria!

Maria was the best house & dog sitter we could have asked for. Caring, respectful and remarkably fastidious. It is so difficult to find someone you trust to stay in your home, and we 100% recommend Maria for the job. Absolutely would hire again.

She stayed at our home for our Ireland and Spain trip. 1 dog and 4 cats. She was amazing with all the photos, sent them to us keeping the time change in mind. We could see in the photos our dog just wanted to give her kisses instead of having his photo taken. We have a black cat whom we rarely see, that she showed worry for. He is a night owl, she found him hiding ☺️ this was our first time leaving our 3 yr old shih tzu who sleeps at night between our pillows. We now feel free to continue global travels knowing she will be here in the future. She is just amazing and we feel free
