Pet care experience
Above and Beyond Care, Your Way
I have been around dogs and cats all my life. I look after them as if they were family the way I care for them, it is hard not to get attached. I love getting down to their level and being with them, but also love running after them and playing with them. I have lots of energy and patience. I take pride in a job well done, and will exceed all expectations. Plus, I don't mind tiny tasks asked of me, I will be there for you, short notice sometimes happens and I have been known to be really good at that. I am flexible and can make things work, I am extremely organized and I know ahead of time, if I can or can't be there.

Amazing as always!
Maria is absolutely incredible! She looked after my two cats with twice-daily drop-ins and truly went above and beyond. It was clear from her updates that she cared for them as if they were her own. I especially appreciated that she wasn't just 'checking boxes'—when she sensed they were feeling a bit lonely or extra energetic, she stayed past her scheduled time to give them the extra love and play they needed. It provided such peace of mind knowing they were in such compassionate hands. I can’t recommend her enough!
Wonderful experience with Maria again. It’s so nice to not worry about our 3 pups knowing she is taking care of them while we are away. Never a doubt that she is there when scheduled and we love the pictures and videos she sends!
Excellent, just excellent. Caring, thoughtful and communicative. You’ll love her!
Always extremely impressed with the care, communication, and the love she shows our animals!!! We hope to always use Maria for our sitter needs! Rockstar!!
Thanks so much, Maria, for all your love and care of my fur baby this summer and last fall. I really appreciated your detailed and loving care and wish we could take you with us as we move to New Mexico. Anyone is lucky to have you as their pet care person, as it's obvious you love the furry ones. Your communication is great too!! Highly recommend!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I am a stay home mom so I can come and go when needed, I understand not all animals like kids and I do respect you and your fur family if I am asked to help out and know I might have to bring 1, I would either let you know ahead of time or have to decline the booking. But more then 3/4 of booking its just me, just depends on your flexibility. I have made sure my kids are educated with all animals and have even been asked to bring them along to some stops as their pets get the extra attention, especially if you have more then one. Weekends I am a bit more open and can be flexible. Summer time and holiday breaks I can really fit into my schedule. Don't be afraid to reach out, I'm usually really good at flexible schedules.
Where your pet will stay
Safety, trust & environment
For a drop in, I will feed,water,clean up their mess if they make one, and of course play. Pretty much I walk in, and am in family member mode to your pet/pets. I'm a mom, it's just in me to be there. For straight walks, I come in and get ready for a walk. Water and food needed just let me know. But will be there ready for walking. Pictures are a must in my book and I love taking pictures for you to have of your furry family members.

A typical day
If you have a place of your own that you like to walk your dog or dogs let me know otherwise just tell me your typical routine around your house that your pup normally is accustomed to. Some Like It where the dogs are allowed to walk around the area and be played with outside and exercises like that and for me that's a walk as well if they like to fetch and run after it, since Id be running or walking after them for another round. I will leave that up to you. Love fetch!!
