Safety, trust & environment

tailor my care based on each pet’s routine and personality to make them feel as comfortable and safe as possible. If caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, clean, and safe environment where they can relax and feel at home. I maintain their usual routine as much as possible, provide regular walks, playtime, and lots of love, and make sure they have a comfortable space to rest.

Information Maria V. would like to know about your pet

- Feeding schedule, portion sizes, and any food allergies - Daily routine (walk times, potty schedule, sleep habits) - Energy level and personality (shy, playful, anxious, etc.) - Any medical needs or medications - Triggers or fears (other dogs, loud noises, being left alone) - Training level and commands they know - Emergency contact and vet information Knowing these ahead of time helps me keep your pet comfortable, safe, and happy while sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine.

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy, active, and engaged! Depending on their personality and energy level, I include fun walks, playtime with their favorite toys, and interactive games to keep them mentally stimulated. For more active dogs, I enjoy longer walks, light jogging, or playing fetch. For calmer or senior pets, I focus on gentle walks, cuddle time, and relaxed play. I can also reinforce basic training during our time together, like leash manners or simple commands.

Loving, Reliable Dog Walking 🐾

Pet care experience

What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every dog as if they were my own. I don’t just walk dogs—I build trust, learn their personalities, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and understood every time we’re together. I’m reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented, always keeping owners updated for peace of mind. My goal is to create a calm, happy experience for your dog and a stress-free one for you. 🐾

Maria has been an absolute blessing when it comes to caring for our dog. She is reliable, communicative, and always goes the extra mile whether it's reinforcing good behavior, adjusting to our dog's pace or sending us thoughtful updates. It's clear she treats every dog like her own. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly passionate about what they do, Maria is the one. We couldn't recommend her more.
