Information maria t. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know whether your pet requires certain types of extra needed attention or prefers if things are done a certain way. If your dog is/isnt animal friendly, food or toy driven. I never want to overstep their boundaries or space so any & everything is helpful for me to know so i don’t make your pet uncomfortable in any situation. Thank you!

A typical day

We will go on long or fast paced walks for much needed potty breaks and good exercise, with fresh water on hand always. I follow the pet’s usual routine, whether that includes more walking than usual, playtime, or just extra company and cuddles :) My main goal is to keep them safe at all times & avoid all possible hazards. I monitor their behavior and make sure they stay happy, healthy and at ease with someone new in their surroundings.

Pet care experience

Hi i am Maria, I’m a pet parent just like you, so i share the same love and concern for my fur baby onto yours like they’re my own. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, i have a cat midnight who is 3 years old and he has the funniest personality! I am very familiar with all varieties of animals at younger and older ages. I’ve cared for baby chicks, turtles, rabbits and numerous cats and dogs from the age of 3 up until now. My love for animals started off as a child and has continued to grow ever since. I often volunteered at the ASPCA and in dog/cat shelters so i could be around animals as much as i could, and feel like i was making a difference in their lives.🐾❤️

Maria is always so good with Ollie and he really loves her visits for walks. She's great with communication both around the appointment itself and about his needs and behaviors.

Maria takes such great care of our crew every time she is here. We could tell when we got home that they were so loved and well cared for by her! They were excited to see us, but we know that they were happy and content the entire time Maria was with them. We cannot recommend Maria enough—she has become our go-to sitter for our boys. Thank you, Maria!

Maria was great! Petey and Dragon warmed up to her and she had no trouble getting my elderly dog out for his pee breaks. He needs help negotiating my front steps. I am so grateful that she was able to come at the last minute and will definitely ask for her again.

Sage and Taco were well cared for by Maria. I enjoy viewing the daily photos and written reviews. I felt at peace that my cats were in good hands.
