Maria V’s - Professional Pet Care
With over 6 years of pet care experience, I provide reliable, attentive, and personalized care for pets of all ages. I adapt to each pet’s routine and needs, from active puppies to senior pets requiring extra patience and care. I’m experienced in daily walks, feeding, bathing, oral medications, and creating a safe, comfortable environment. My goal is to treat every pet with the same care and respect I would give my own.

Ratings and reviews
Helped us last minute mind our pup and provided updates and photos. Our pup was well taken care of and put us at ease. Would definitely recommend!
Maria is easy to work with, patient, and gentle with Mandy. Exactly what we need with a dog walker.
Our pup loved his time with Maria. She went above and beyond in his care including giving him a bath and washing his bed. Super friendly and communicative. Would book again ☺️

Schedule
Pet care is not just another part of my routine; it's something I truly enjoy and look forward to every day. Working part-time allows me to organize my week so that caring for animals is my priority. For me, spending time with pets doesn't feel like work—it’s an opportunity to connect with beings that recharge me and give back love in a unique way. I love being with them, whether it's during a walk, a bath, playtime, or even just comforting them through tough moments. Caring for them isn’t just something I do; it's a part of who I am, and I deeply enjoy it every single day.

Safety, trust & environment
The safety and well-being of pets are always my top priority when caring for them in the comfort of their own home or wherever the owner prefers. I adapt to their daily routines so they feel at ease in their environment, whether it’s during walks, mealtime, or simply keeping them company to ensure they don’t feel alone. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions, making sure every detail is handled just as they would do it. Every pet is unique, and my approach is to provide them with love and personalized attention, respecting their space and ensuring they feel safe and relaxed. My goal is for them to enjoy their time with me, staying happy and cared for while their owners are away, without disrupting their familiar surroundings.
