I love taking dogs on kind walks around the neighborhood, and long walks on the beach! I’m definitely very active, so hikes on the weekends are almost always a guarantee!

If you are looking for someone who cares for your beloved pet as if it were her own, do not look any further! Maria cared for our sweet 7-year old Aussie-doodle for 3 weeks while we were out of the country. We had booked another sitter who cancelled at the last minute, and Maria didn't hesitate to step up. She came by a few times so that Sunny could get acquainted with her and also arrived a day earlier to ask questions and get last minute care details. Maria also communicated several times with cute stories about Sunny and sent pictures and videos. We felt at ease and were assured that our dog was receiving the best care possible. When we returned home, Sunny was calm, clean and very happy. Maria was wonderful! We wouldn't hesitate to call on her again! Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call us - we'd be happy to help.

I highly recommend Maria as a pet caregiver. She has cared for our dog and cat on multiple occasions, and we have always been impressed by her responsibility, kindness, and attention to detail. Maria treats our pets as if they were her own, and they are always happy and comfortable when we return home. In addition to providing excellent care for our animals, Maria keeps our home spotless. We have complete peace of mind knowing that our pets and home are in such capable and caring hands. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.
