Highlights
Pet care experience
I can’t wait to meet your sweeties!
I have had dogs my whole life. My job has been to feed them, give them water, clean up after them, take them for walks, and give them medication. I also currently have a senior dog, so I have some experience with them! I have experience with small and big dogs alike.

Maria also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
We have a fenced yard at home. Still, I watch my dogs just in case. In spring/summer I check for ticks every time they go out. When we go on walks, I am always diligent when we pass another dog. If my dogs aren't up for walks, especially my senior dog, we go out into the backyard and play fetch or run around.
Ratings and reviews
Maria (and her boyfriend) was a life saver when my partner and I had to leave for the weekend last minute and couldn't bring our pup with us. Despite Hiccups timid behavior and constant barking, Maria was very patient with her and eventually became fast friends with Hiccup once our timid pup realized Maria meant no harm. Maria and her boyfriend were so sweet to Hiccup and sent such adorable photos that let us feel comfortable knowing our pup was in great company. She was very thorough with her visits as Hiccup did require medications and even reached out about our turtle and asked if she should feed it which was just so kind and thoughtful of her. If I could give Maria more than 5 ⭐ I definitely would. Definitely recommend her to anyone who needs their pet(s) taken care of and maybe they'll gain a new bestie just like Hiccup did 😁 A job well done!
Did a lovely job with our pups
Maria was wonderful for all 4 of our animals! She provided pictures and communicated effectively throughout our trip! We couldn’t have been happier with her service!
Maria was highly communicative, professional, and sent great pictures of Axl. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs help with their pet!
quick communication, easy to work with. dog was well taken care of for his walk, would book again!
Maria is a very responsible and loving pet caregiver. She was caring for my three dogs once while I was away in North Carolina. She texted updates and was super attentive to my oldest dog, asking if certain behaviors were normal or whether she should take him to an emergency vet. If I am ever away for an evening or more, I am confident that Maria will follow the dogs' schedules, feed them appropriately (they all eat different food), and provide lots of snuggles!
