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.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I am very thoughtful about maintaining clients’ spaces. If you’re looking for a house sit, I am a considerate visitor who will keep your home neat and tidy.
Ratings and reviews
Maria was great with Oslo, and she was extremely communicative and provided updates. Oslo looked so happy on all of his walks with her.
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 !!
