Pet care experience

Trusted Dog Mom, 20+ Yrs Exp

I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for 20+ years and treat every pet like part of the family. I currently care for a 13-year-old senior dog, so I understand the patience and attention dogs need at every stage of life. I’ve also raised and trained a dog from puppyhood and have experience dog sitting for friends and family. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, and day-to-day care, and I take pride in keeping dogs happy, safe, and well cared for. As a mom, providing a loving and dependable environment is second nature to me.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize safety above everything—for both your pet and myself. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, behavior, and needs to ensure a calm, secure environment whether in my home or yours. I provide consistent care including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention to keep your pet happy and stimulated. I’m mindful of surroundings on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and keep a clean, organized space. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and safe at all times—just like they’re part of my own family.

Maria is amazing when it comes to taking care of my Fur baby Belle (affectionately known as Belliebooh) She stays on Belles feeding schedule, even does her before meal blessings. She also encourages Belle to go on walks and play outside more (Belle prefers to be inside) but I noticed shes now more willing to play outside and even put her paws in a puddle haha. My personal favorite thing is if were in Marias neighborhood Belle will start crying to go by haha

Maria in my opinion is a loving dog mom with years of experience. I witnessed her find her forever furbaby and it was love at first sight. Decades later that sweet baby is still loving on her til this day. She has a love for dogs that is rare to come by.
