Pet care experience

Peace of mind guaranteed :)

I started taking care of dogs while babysitting my neighbor’s kids around 12 years old. Since then, I’ve helped lots of vacationing family friends by watching their babies, and i’ve been able to help train our own (crazy and massive) dogs. On top of that, I have gotten some experience taking care of and training service/police dogs!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I love when there’s instructions, describing where the food is and when they need to be taken out if they do, as well as when to eat. I don’t mess with anything that’s not supposed to be, and everything in your house will be exactly how you left it when I leave. (unless you ask me to clean)

She took really good care of our gentle giant while we were gone for a Christmas trip. Migo enjoyed having her.

Maria is an excellent pet sitter! She is so conscientious, always coming at the appointed times and taking great care to feed, water, and (in my case) scoop the litter. She would take wonderful photos of my cats so I'd know they were alright. After a day away, I could see my cats literally warming up to her by rubbing up against her in the photos. Maria has a kind heart for sure. You won't be disappointed.

Maria has been excellent with all of our animals: dogs, chickens, snake, and cats. I love how she always makes sure they are cared for when I’m away. She’s reliable, honest, and responsible. Highly recommended

Please let me know any special needs of your pets ahead of time, and if they have any allergies. I sometimes like to bring a treat for the dog for when I arrive, so please let me know if that's something you'd prefer me not to do as well! Also, if you'd prefer I don't take them on a car ride or to a dog park please let me know!
