Pet care experience

Lover of all dogs!

I have hands-on experience caring for my own three dogs, including two senior dogs who require consistent physical support and attentive care. This has made me very comfortable with administering extra assistance, maintaining routines, and recognizing changes in behavior or health. I also have a large, active dog who I love taking on walks and playing with, so I’m confident handling dogs of different sizes and energy levels. In addition, I have a cat, giving me experience with feline care as well.

Maria was great with Honey. She followed all instructions for her care and shared pictures after each visit. Thanks! I'm sure we'll see you again!

Maria is a kind, compassionate, reliable, and very trustworthy individual. She absolutely loves animals, and I can't recommend her enough. As a first time dog/ puppy owner that works full time, it was vital for me to find someone I trusted enough to come into my home when I am not there, and follow my instructions for how to properly care for him. Not only does my puppy love Maria, but she treats my home, and pup, as if they were her own. I feel very grateful to have found her, and I urge you to book with Maria!

Maria is an incredible human being with a heart full of love for all animals. She shares three dogs and one cat with her family. Her commitment and love to each one is quite evident. She enjoys the beauty of dogs and cats. I have seen her treat them as family and are a big part of her world. She would be an incredible sitter to all animals and loves to play with them. She has incredible communication skills, punctuality, and commitment. She will be a great addition to any pet’s life!!!!

Maria is the one person I trust to take care of my dog. I have a Havanese, and like many small dogs, she can be very temperamental with most people. However, Maria seems to have the magic touch. Luna, my dog, loves Maria and never nips or barks at her when she comes over to take care of Luna, or if we bring Luna to her. She is the only person I have let take care of Luna over night for an entire week when my partner and I are on vacation, and with wonderful success.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine, needs, and personality. In a client’s home, I prioritize keeping pets comfortable by sticking closely to their usual feeding schedules, walk routines, and sleep habits. I make sure they always have fresh water, a clean environment, and plenty of attention, whether that’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship
