Highlights
Pet care experience
Calm, Reliable Sitter (Cats + Dogs)
Hi, I’m Maria! I have over 30 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, and I focus on providing calm, consistent, attentive care tailored to each pet’s routine. I specialize in working with cats and well-adjusted dogs in home environments where routines are already established. I aim to keep things as familiar and low-stress as possible while you’re away. I work remotely, which allows me to be present and flexible throughout the day for walks, feeding, and check-ins. I’m also very respectful of clients’ homes and keep spaces clean and tidy during house sitting. I typically like to schedule a quick meet & greet before confirming bookings to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. I’m a great fit for pets who are comfortable with a new sitter and have an established routine.

Ratings and reviews
Maria was awesome with my very energetic golden retriever puppy. She was super responsive and kind. Highly recommend!
Maria was great! She communicated very well, paid attention to all the instructions, and took such a good care of my little baby
Maria did such an amazing job taking care of my cat while I was away. She was super communicative and gave great updates and pictures, and gave my cat lots of pets and love--when we came home our cat was happy and in a great mood thanks to Maria's amazing care. Thank you again Maria!
Maria did a great job with our dog Sachi and cat Jax! They got comfortable with her and Sachi got some good walks in :) we definitely recommend!
Incredibly grateful to Maria for her help watching my girls while I was away for a couple of days — she stayed at my place and sent daily updates/was extremely prompt with answers and overall very helpful/friendly. Definitely will reach back out to her again if I need someone to watch my two cats again !!
Maria was a wonderful petsitter for our senior dog, Heath. She took great care of him, and he was happy and healthy when we got back, which is what we care about most. We also really appreciated how she looked after our house, leaving it neat and exactly as we left it. Since we were out of cell service, Maria had to switch between our Garmin InReach, a messaging app, and regular cell service to send us updates. She managed all of this perfectly and we really appreciated her keeping us informed. Maria was a pleasure to work with, and we would be happy to have her back in the future.

Schedule
I work remotely and my schedule is very flexible, so I have plenty of time for your pets! I also love to go out for walks, ideally several times a day.
