Information maria p. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for your pet, I like to learn as much as possible about their routine, personality, needs, and preferences so I can provide the best experience possible. I’ll ask about feeding schedules, medications, energy levels, favorite activities, fears or triggers, and anything else that helps your pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.
A typical day
A typical day with me includes lots of attention, care, and adapting to your pet’s routine and personality 🐾 For dogs, that can mean walks, playtime, potty breaks, enrichment activities, and making sure they get the exercise, structure, and attention they need throughout the day. For cats, I focus on keeping their environment calm and comfortable, feeding them on schedule, thoroughly cleaning the litter box, and spending quality time with them based on their personality and comfort level. I always try to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible to help them feel safe and secure while you’re away. I’m also happy to send photo updates throughout the day so you can feel connected and reassured. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, anxious, independent, or extra affectionate, I adjust my care to their needs. I give nervous pets extra patience and reassurance, and I make sure active pets stay entertained and engaged. Most importantly, I treat every pet with genuine love, kindness, patience, and care 💛

Reliable Pet Sitter for Dogs & Cats
Pet care experience
Hi! I’m María, a reliable and caring pet sitter with a genuine love for both dogs and cats 🐾 My experience with animals started early, my very first “job” was walking dogs in my neighborhood, and since then I’ve always been the go-to person for pet care. I had a German Shepherd named Rocky, so I understand the responsibility, energy, and attention dogs need, especially larger or more active breeds. I’ve also cared for my cousin’s pets (a high-energy husky and a cat) making sure to follow their routines closely, keep them entertained, and give them plenty of attention. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes, and even administering medication when needed. I’m very organized, attentive, and adaptable. Whether your pet is calm and independent or playful and energetic, I’ll adjust to their needs and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently available full-time for drop-ins and house sitting, and I take that responsibility seriously, your pet’s well-being always comes first 💛🐕🐈

Reviews
My cat was well taken care of. Fed on time. Litterbox was thoroughly cleaned. María also spent quality time with my cat. I wouldn't let anyone else take care of my baby.
María took great care of my husky. He is a hyper 2 year old dog and needs a lot of attention. María made sure not to disrupt his routine and keep him happy, safe and entertained.
