Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving your fur babies is my goal!
I have been walking dogs and caring for cats for about 18 years. Seeing my furry clients every day get excited when I come in brings me such joy! My dog visits consists of a minimum 25 minute walk, (unless you request more) followed by fresh water, feeding (if needed), play time and belly rubs. Cat visits are a minimum 30 minutes, unless more is requested and consist of feeding, fresh water, litter box cleanings, as well as looking for any messes and clean up when necessary, and of course play time! I also can administer medication if needed to both cats and dogs. I supply my own waste bags and leash unless you have a special one you prefer. I leave detailed notes at each visit letting you know how our visit went. I am extremely reliable. I would be honored to be a part of your pet’s life. I will love and care for them as though they were my own! I enjoy booking early morning visits, mid day and late night visits as I also work from home. Whatever fits the owner’s schedule. We usually can work something out to make sure your pet gets the care, interaction, attention and LOVE they deserve. I always love to great your pets by calling their name to let them know I’ve arrived! Most come wagging their tails (or if a cat)- just come to say hello to check me out. If it’s feeding time I will feed them and change their water bowls and give any medication if needed. Of course if I am there to walk your dog, the walk usually comes first, especially if it’s been awhile since they were last out. If we have extra time we can play and there’s always time for belly rubs and ear scratches! For dogs, I always use a leash when walking. Even if your dog is great and never runs away off-leash with you, dogs can be much different when they’re not with their owners.

Maria was wonderful! Thorough in her cards, prompt and easy to communicate with. She took very good care of my boy!
Thank you very much .
Maria did a fantastic job with our two pups. She gave one of our dogs her meds daily, walked them, and ensured they were happy.
Great communication and care! Will definitely reach out again!
Maria was so attentive and kind to my shy senior cat. She really dedicated herself to making Pickles feel comfortable and I appreciated all her updates.
Maria was great! Sook excellent care of my little guy and gave helpful updates along the way!

- It’s important to know how your dog is with other dogs and if they get anxious or nervous. Owners know their dogs best. If you feel it would put your dog at ease to meet with me first, I am happy to do so. For cats, I know sometimes they can take a little more time to get used to a new caretaker so I give them time to get to know me and earn their trust with speaking calmly to them and offering treats as well! If there is a preferred way your pet likes to be petted, it’s important to know. Some pets can be sensitive in areas so I like to know that information as well.
