About Maria S.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
My top priority in caring for your pet is learning about them: their routine, where they sleep, feeding times, any special needs, what they like and don’t like, etc. This allows me to make sure your pet is regulated, comfortable, and most of all, HAPPY! 🤗
Information Maria S. would like to know about your pet
I would like to discuss routines, any special needs, any quirks… anything that will help me care for your pet in the best possible way! I know your pets will miss you while you’re gone, but I’ll do my best to make them happy and give them a fun and comfortable experience!
A typical day
I love nature parks and hiking, so I would love to take your dog to Hoyt arboretum or around the neighborhood park to play fetch. Long walks, treats, “cat and mouse” games, stuffies, cuddles…

Pet care experience
Hello! I am excited to meet you and your fur babies!! I’ve owned animals most of my life and have been pet sitting for 25 years. I am most experienced with dogs and cats, but also have experience with reptiles, birds, fish, and small caged animals. I’ve cared for puppies, kittens, senior dogs and cats, disabled animals (blind, deaf, limited mobility, seizures) and everything in between. I have experience with administering oral and topical medications. I haven’t injected medication, but I’m open to learning how to meet that need. Poor babies 🙃 I love animals to the depth of my soul. They are pure and honest about who they are. Animals are wonderful companions but they are also beautiful teachers if we are willing to really open our eyes to see them. I am very passionate about the outdoors and hiking, and I love nature parks! I love walking outside, rain or shine, so I’m thrilled to take your dog on long walks! I’d love to meet your special pet(s)! Please reach out if you would like to know more!
Reviews
Maria is a great caring petsitter. I was able to enjoy my time away without worrying. She kept me updated daily with photos and messages. My pet crew is no small task and she tackled it with ease. I would recruit her again if she was willing. :-) Definitely a 10 out of 10! Anyone would be lucky to have her caring for their pets.
Maria was amazing. I have never felt so much at ease leaving our boys with anyone before. She sent the cutest videos and photos of them together. They seemed very happy and bonded with her. Not only was she wonderful and caring with our dogs, but she's also a wonderful human. She was great to communicate with and left our home so clean and well cared for. We will definitely book another stay, knowing how loved and cared for our little guys were with her.

Maria was flexible and spent a lot of time with our two dogs. We got updates including pictures of walks and chilling out at home. We would hire Maria, again.
Maria was fantastic. One of my dogs has pretty bad anxiety and he warmed up to her almost immediately. Miraculous! Communication was great, I got lots of updates, all the animals were happy when I got home, and she left the house very clean. I'd definitely have Maria house sit again.
