Pet care experience

Walks, Belly Rubs & VIP Treatment

I’ve been surrounded by dogs since I was a little girl, so caring for them feels completely natural to me. I love getting to know each pup’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and extra loved. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cozy cuddle sessions, your pup will be treated like family (and maybe a little spoiled 😉).

I have a friendly 5-year-old Yorkie who would love a new buddy! We’re lucky to live near Washington Square Park, perfect for fun adventures and tail wags.

Thank you for being so amazing and reliable for Toby during afternoon weekday walks when I couldn’t be there! The pictures that you sent always made my day. I appreciate your help so much. Maria is the best.

Maria was very helpful and flexible with Leo's needs while I was away. She consistently took it upon herself to walk him beyond the allotted time with plenty of photos and updates, as well as move times around to account for avoiding the rain during walks. I will definitely reach out again!

Maria was amazing, will definitely book again with her! She provided updates on Lincoln throughout his stay and I loved that her dog Max was able to play with Lincoln. She also sent him back with the cutest bandana, can’t wait to have her sit for Lincoln again!

If you're looking for someone who will care for your pet with as much love and attention as you would, don’t hesitate to call Maria. She is respectful and responsible, and you will quickly notice her genuine love for animals and nature.

Maria took amazing care of my dog, Joey. She was incredibly loving, attentive, and followed every single instruction I left for her. I felt completely at ease knowing he was with her. She sent me many photos and updates, which truly reassured me and showed how happy and comfortable Joey was. I highly recommend her as a responsible and caring pet caregiver.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Maria has been absolutely wonderful with my two dogs. One of them is a senior girl who needs patience, gentleness, and extra care, and Maria was incredibly attentive to her needs at all times. My other dog is a Pomeranian with a big personality who requires a lot of attention and emotional connection, and Maria handled him beautifully. From walks and playtime to calm moments and cozy cuddle sessions, Maria treated my dogs like family (and yes, they were definitely a little spoiled 😉). I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such caring and capable hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a loving, responsible, and attentive sitter.
