Above and Beyond Care, Your Way
Pet care experience
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.
Reviews
Maria spends so much time with our kitties! This time they very much enjoyed their vacation from our new puppy! Maria is amazing!! Don’t even hesitate about trusting this amazing caregiver in your home. She’s wonderful! We wouldn’t dream of hiring anyone else!
Maria is always a great help with the dogs!
Maria is simply the best! She takes such good care of my two kitties. She goes above and beyond by not only providing them with the best care, but also keeping our house very clean, watering our house plants, and feeding the birds. She even bought my cats a toy, which has quickly become their favorite toy in the house. Highly recommend!
We utilized Maria’s services again and it did not disappoint! Extremely flexible, communication, and the love she shows for our animals is why we will continue to request for Maria for our future needs! Thank you again!

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.
Information Maria Z. would like to know about your pet
I would enjoy knowing if they knew how to do tricks, I love to encourage dogs on what they already know. I know they take pride on knowing how to do something, or it might just be for the treat they get, either way please share. Also if your animals like kids, sometimes if that is the case I would bring them along for extra play time. Many cases there are more then one pup and my girls love to get the experience of taking care of animals, their older. Been around animals all their life, it's a great start as they love working on farms.
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!!

Availability
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.
