Information Maria s. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, routines, or behaviours I should be aware of so I can provide the most personalized care possible. I live with my boyfriend, who's also experienced raising animals and absolutely loves them, but I will be your pet’s sole caretaker. If your pet is uncomfortable around men, just let me know, and I’ll make sure to accommodate that.

A typical day

🐶 I’ll start each day based on your dog’s individual needs, whether that means a potty break, a morning walk, or breakfast first. Once we're back home, I’ll check in on their mood to see if they're up for more playtime or just looking for some cozy cuddles. 🐱 Each day starts by following your cat’s routine, whether that means breakfast first, a litter check, or some quiet morning company. I’ll take time to read their mood and body language to see if they’re in the mood for interactive play, enrichment activities, or simply relaxing nearby with some gentle affection. Throughout the day, I balance playtime, comfort, and calm companionship to make sure your cat feels safe, happy, and at ease in their own space.

Caring sitter to all! 🐶🐱

Pet care experience

Hi there! I'm Maria, a lifelong dog lover living in the Plateau. I've been caring for dogs, my own and others', since I was a teenager. When I moved to Montréal, I sadly had to leave my mini dachshund behind, and ever since, I've missed the joy of having a furry companion around. As your sitter, my top priority is making sure your dog feels happy, safe, and loved while sticking to their usual routines. I currently work part-time from home, which means I’ll be able to give your pup my full attention throughout the day. Whether it's playtime with their favourite toys, interactive sniff-and-search games, or lots of belly rubs, I’m here to make their stay as fun and comfortable as possible. I know how tough it can be to leave your pet, so I’ll happily send you frequent photo updates to help ease your mind and brighten your day. I also have experience caring for foster dogs, including those who need reinforcement training, medication, or recovery support. By choosing me as your sitter, you can trust that your dog will receive attentive, personalized care every step of the way. Languages: English (fluent), Spanish (fluent), French (conversational).

Maria very kindly watched Rovie for me with a last minute reservation, and she offered to pick him up and drop him off from my hotel. She was on time, kind, and sent cute picture updates. Will definitely book again!
