Availability
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a remote worker, I enjoy having a reason to get out of the house and stay active. My flexible schedule allows me to be available for drop in visits, potty breaks, feedings, and walks during the workday, while also having longer blocks of time available in the mornings before work and in the evenings after work. I walk several miles a day with my own dog, so regular walks and exercise are already an important part of my routine.

About Maria S.
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I always tailor my care to each pet's individual needs and their owner's routine. Whether I am caring for pets in my client's home or providing drop in visits and walks, I prioritize keeping their schedule as consistent as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, exercise, playtime, administering medications if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. For dogs, I ensure they receive appropriate exercise, enrichment, and bathroom breaks. For cats, I focus on maintaining a clean litter box and respecting each cat's comfort level and personality.

Experienced, Reliable, Pet Sitter!
Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Maria and I live in St. Louis with my dog, Aviva. I love animals and have extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats through personal pet ownership as well as petsitting for others. I enjoy providing pets with the attention, exercise, and care they need to feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I am an experienced pet and house sitter with hands on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including senior pets and animals with special medical needs. I am comfortable administering medications, monitoring recovery, and providing post-operative care following surgeries and medical procedures. As a dog owner myself, I walk 3–5 miles daily and am happy to accommodate pets that require longer walks and higher activity levels. I also have experience handling large dogs and managing a variety of temperaments, including reactive pets, as my own dog is a 70-pound reactive dog.

Reviews
Maria is basically like family to my Luna! Attentive, caring and fun! She is exactly what Luna needed during my most busy times. Thanks, Maria!
maria is fantastic!! she took such wonderful care of my kitties. she’s very communicative, timely, organized, and absolutely pure hearted. she asked thoughtful questions about my kitties and their daily routine to help make them feel comfortable. she communicated with me throughout my trip and sent me plenty of photos of my girls having a good time. I felt so at ease knowing she was taking care of them, I can’t recommend her enough!!!
Maria was a wonderful pet sitter to my cat Neko, something that really stood out to me about her is the way that she checked in during the sit. She would send pictures of Neko in the morning, afternoon, and the evening. This put my mind at ease during the sit, while I was away, he is my baby and I miss him a lot when I travel. Maria also made sure to tidy up before she left my apartment, she asks me questions if there are any concerns at all. This gives me peace of mind, because it reminds me that I have a sitter who not only cares about my kitty, she cares about me. When I arrive home, I feel like it’s nice and refreshed. I’d absolutely book Maria in the future!
Maria is wonderful! She has helped with my cats Maya and Jenna as well as my dog Honey. I highly recommend her if you need someone to take care of your pets!!
