Pet care experience

Fun, energetic, dog Mom/dog lover!

I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. As a dog mom myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I currently provide dog walks and drop-in visits and have built strong relationships with many recurring clients. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and pets with special needs, which has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and paying close attention to each pet’s individual needs. My goal is to make every visit a positive experience for both you and your pet. You can expect dependable care, plenty of communication, and photo updates throughout each visit. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. – Maria

Safety, trust & environment

My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn about their schedule, feeding routine, exercise needs, and favorite activities. Safety is always my top priority. During walks and drop-in visits, I provide plenty of attention, closely monitor your pet, and make sure they feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every home with respect.

Dog Walking • Aug 01, 2026

Maria has been amazing with Olive! She’s been very patient getting Olive to warm up and now my dog has a new bestie. I can’t wait to see the report cards and all the cute photos Maria includes after each walk- it’s truly the cutest! She is reliable, responsible, and kind.

Maria is the best! She is extremely nice, friendly, and responsible. She is a dog Mom herself, so she has an understanding and compassion for animal care. My dogs love her, and I have always been satisfied with her services!!

Schedule

Pet care is currently my full-time job, so caring for animals is a part of my everyday routine. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy building relationships with both pets and their owners. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I’m happy to work with you to create a routine that helps your pet feel comfortable and cared for.

Before our first visit, I’d love to learn as much as possible about your pet. Please let me know about their daily routine, feeding schedule, favorite activities, medications, allergies, fears, or any behaviors you’d like me to be aware of. I also appreciate knowing how your pet interacts with new people, other animals, and unfamiliar environments. The more information you can provide, the better I can tailor my care to your pet’s individual needs and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
