Caring for pets is the best job :)

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs ever since I can remember and have always enjoyed caring for them. Now that I moved to Ithaca, my apartment complex doesn’t allow pets so I’m looking to care for pets to feel more at home. I genuinely enjoy playing with pets, giving them attention, feeding, and walking them.

Maria is top tier! So conscientious and responsive. Maria made leaving Hobbes-a stress free experience.

Maria did a great job with our dog Grusha, sent daily updates with pictures, and left our apartment in good condition.

We have two older dogs, one with separation anxiety and one who is very nervous around new people. They both love Maria! We had a relaxing vacation knowing they were so well taken care of.

Safety, trust & environment

I will follow the style in how the pet owners care for their pets if left instructions. I enjoy taking dogs for walks, playing with cats & dogs, and giving cuddles of course.

Information Maria R. would like to know about your pet

I would appreciate knowing what kind of activities the dog is used to, if the dog is friendly around strangers or other dogs, and any additional information I how to keep the pet happy.

A typical day

I like to go on walks around the commons, and dog friendly parks (when the weather is nice). I like giving them snacks, taking them for long walks, and just giving them lots of attention.
