Information Maria V. S. would like to know about your pet
Pet Care Check-In Questions • Are there any warning signs, triggers, or behaviors I should be aware of during walks or drop-in visits? • Where would you like waste bags to be disposed of? • Does your pet drink a specific type of water or from a particular bowl? Sponges available to wash the bowls? • Are treats allowed, and if so, do you have preferred treats? And are they allowed on furniture ?
A typical day
I engage pets with fetch, toy play, long walks, and visits to the nearest dog park. After playtime, I create a calm environment with relaxing music so they can nap, recharge, and be ready for more fun with the rest of the dogs. During walks, I allow plenty of sniff time so they can explore, decompress, and truly enjoy their outing.

Reviews

Great sitter!! Was very patient with our scaredy cat, communicated with us every day, and took some fantastic photos so we could see he was doing well. Thanks, Maria!!

We went away from Mon-Friday and left our Riley with Maria! She was wonderful! We were so hesitant since it was our first time leaving her with anyone besides family but from start to finiSh it was a great experience! Maria gave us constant updates and sent so many pictures! We relaxed after day 2 knowing Riley was in good hands! We highly recommend Maria and will definitely be calling again! Annette

Was super helpful coming last minute and did a great job!

Maria is wonderful with my Maltese puppy. She has taught him to sit and down. I always get a photo and video.
