Pet care experience

Pet-lover, reliable, & attentive!

While I am technically an only child, I grew up with pets as my siblings! I've always been around cats, dogs, and reptiles! I love the companionship they bring and have always cared for their health, happiness, and overall well-being. I do not have any formal experience in caring for a pet but my 20+ years of personal experience makes me proud to say that I feel confident in managing your pet's care.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every home I go into with the utmost respect & try my best to leave it better than I found it! Ideally, your pet is most comfortable in its own environment and I try to simply blend in and care for it as needed.

Maria has taken care of my precious Lola before. She is a senior dog with very high maintenance needs and an attitude at times. A lot of patience, care, and attention to detail are needed – all qualities that Maria has. Overall, Maria is responsible, reliable, and compassionate, with a genuine love for animals. She is a great communicator and will share pictures every hour if you wish! Just ask & she will always try to deliver.

Maria has a lot of experience caring for cats and dogs. She has a lot of patience and understanding when it comes to taking care of your pet, which she demonstrated when caring for mine. She was professional, courteous, and flexible with my schedule. The care and attention given were beyond exceptional. Daily updates reassured us while we were away. Highly recommended for any pet parent in need of reliable and loving care!

Maria has been taking care of animals since she could walk. She has grown up with pets her entire life and has always considered them family, not just mascots for the household. Her lifetime experience has taught her how to understand the animal's needs very well. She is no stranger to the responsibility that is required to care for a pet. She has experience giving animals medicine as needed, treating injuries, and ensuring a safe environment. She is a great communicator to both the pet and the owner and will ensure that everything is handled professionally and responsibly!

Schedule

I have a full-time job but work remotely a few days a week. I create my own schedule! This allows me to go for walks in between meetings or plan to care for your pet over a long weekend, for example. I'm always sure to communicate any conflicts & plan/prep accordingly.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs

Dogs over 1 year old
Maria can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Every dog has it's own personality! I am aware of that & want to ensure they feel 100% comfortable and safe with me. Be sure to let me know about their personality (what they like and don't like, what triggers them, etc). If you're transparent with me from the beginning, I can make sure we all have a great experience. No judgement ever!
