Your pet’s best friend!

Pet care experience

My name is Maria, I live in Westchester, New York. I absolutely love animals of all types. I have experience with cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies and fish. I learned how to take care of animals at a young age. Friends and family have entrusted me to take their dogs on walks and play with their dogs, cats, and other pets in their homes as well. I am a responsible house guest and I always go above and beyond for your furry pet. I have a natural bond with animals of all types and sizes. I will be thrilled to spend time relaxing with your pet in your home, give them lots of attention and love and play with them. My goal is to make sure that each pet I care for feels completely comfortable and happy around their home even without their loved ones there. Throughout our time together, I will make sure your pet is at ease, safe, and having tons of fun. I will gladly give you updates on how your pet is doing, as well as send pictures to show you how your pet is enjoying his or her day! I am a very athletic person and enjoy exploring and being outside, and hopefully your pet can join me! My main priority is to comfort your pet and attend to his or her individual needs, making your trip and their time outside or at home as stress free and enjoyable as possible! What Maria needs to know about your dog: I would like to be aware of the potty and feeding schedule if they have specific times for either. Also, I would like to know if your dog has a particular routine he/she enjoys, walking on a certain path, or doing a certain activity. I do not have any breed preferences, however, I would like to know of any behavioral issues or objects/actions I should avoid while watching your pet. When Maria cares for your pet in your home Time I'll spend with your pet I plan on spending the full time with your pet. My whole day will be dedicated to your furry friend. I will always make sure that your pet has used the bathroom and been fed before I leave. I will make sure your pet is never lonely! Extra house-sitting services I would not mind doing other tasks in your home such as watering plants or bringing in the mail, just let me know! Do you take care of any other animals besides dogs? Yes, I do! I would not mind caring for cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, etc. I have cared for all of the above for many years, and I would be glad to take care of any animal.

Maria is a wonderful dog walker and it's clear she cares about our pup. Our dog is always excited to see her and take long walks around our neighborhood. Maria is great at communicating and she pays attention to our dog's needs and mood every walk. Thank you!

Maria is GREAT! She asked great questions and understood our dog Lola's personality before their first walk. Lola was instantly comfortable with Maria and it's clear she enjoys their time together. Most importantly, it's clear Maria cares about Lola too. Maria is a great communicator and messages back right away. She also shares detailed summaries and photos from each walk. I know Lola is well taken care of with Maria and I'm really glad we found such a caring and responsible dog walker for Lola.

The most incredible dog walker! Maria is trustworthy, loving, and outstanding. From day one, her genuine care for animals was evident. She's reliable, always on time, and goes above and beyond. Maria personalized each walk to suit my dogs' needs, ensuring safety and happiness. Her communication is excellent, and I felt so connected and informed as if I was on the walk as well. I can't recommend Maria highly enough. She is a true gem!
