Highlights
Pet care experience
🐾 peace of mind, guaranteed!
Hi! I’m a dedicated pet caregiver who genuinely loves making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their people are away. 🐶🐱 I have professional kennel experience caring for dogs and cats of all personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding, bathing, medication, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. Whether your pup needs a midday adventure, your kitty needs some company, or you’re heading out of town, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. ❤️ I also offer meet & greets before bookings so we can get to know each other, go over your pet’s routine, and make sure everyone feels comfortable. My goal is simple: happy pets and peace of mind for their humans. 🐾

Ratings and reviews
I would definitely recommend Maria, she has been wonderful with our girl.
Maria is great! Love using her
Maria is such a gem. From the moment we met her, we felt at ease. She stayed with Ellie from Friday to Sunday. We have never left our puppy with anyone but family before and were really nervous about leaving her with someone we never met. A week before our scheduled time, Maria, texted to confirm the time and two days before as well. The day of, she was on time and took Ellie for a little walk right away. I left her a list of details so that she felt more comfortable with Ellie’s daily routine. She made us feel really comfortable throughout the weekend because she kept in touch and sent us several follow up photos of our sweet puppy. If she left the house she was very communicative with us. On her last day, she let is know the time she was leaving, which I really appreciated. When we got home, the house was super organized and clean. We would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a house/dog sitter. Ellie means the world to us and we felt super comfortable and at ease during our trip. I will be calling Maria every time we need a sitter for our sweet girl! Thank you Maria for taking such good care of Ellie and taking care of our home. You make us feel so secure and at ease! Ellie will be super excited to spend snuggle time with you in the future!
Maria is very professional and thorough! A must have for any pet owner!
Recomiendo a María al 100%. Recién la conocí y ha sido un gran apoyo cuidando de mis gatitos durante un viaje. Es responsable, proactiva, con mucho criterio e iniciativa. Muy profesional y realmente transmite mucha tranquilidad. Sin duda, la contrataré nuevamente en mis próximos viajes. Además, se desenvuelve muy bien tanto en inglés como en español. I recommend María 100%. I just met her and she has been a great support taking care of my kittens during a trip. She is responsible, proactive, with a lot of judgment and initiative. Very professional and really conveys a lot of peace of mind. I will definitely hire her again on my next trips. In addition, she works very well in both English and Spanish.
Dogs clearly enjoyed the walks with Maria! We will be booking her again! Thank you Maria!
