Pet care experience

If your smaller non-shedding dog (up to 40 lbs) does not care for other pets, I'm your sitter! There are no other pets in my house, and I specialize in dogs who do not like other animals. I have owned and loved dogs my entire adult life. In retirement I've chosen not to own one, but I miss those little guys so much and would love to love on your precious pet.

Maria is great! She truly loves dogs and made sure Ollie was well cared for and got play and snuggles he’s used to 🙂

Maria took good care of Lucy under difficult circumstances. Weather was right after the blizzard and this was Lucy’s first time away. We would like to have another one day stay to get Lucy more accustomed to being with Maria. She has an excellent arrangement for this purpose. Please give Maria a $10.00 tip for her time With Lucy. Thank you.

Maria took excellent care of Rudy. Rudy can be anxious in new situations, and Maria's calm demeanor and quiet home were just perfect for her. It put my mind at ease to know she was being so well taken care of.
