Pet care experience

A loving fur-friend home

I've been pet sitting for friends and family for years, so I know how important it is to leave your dog with someone you can truly trust. I'm comfortable with small and medium-sized dogs, and I make sure they get plenty of walks, meals on schedule, playtime, and attention. I also have my own super friendly dog who gets along great with other dogs — so your pup won't just be looked after, they'll get double the company and playtime too.

Boarding • Sep 20, 2026

Mariapia did a wonderful job taking care of Winnie! She took the time to understand Winnie’s routine and habits before the stay, and during the stay she sent lots of updates with photos! Highly recommend Mairiapia for anyone looking for a dog sitter in JC.

Mariapia was incredibly accommodating, especially with the short-notice booking for boarding. She went above and beyond to ensure my high-maintenance dog, Ariel, was well cared for. I received regular updates, including messages and photos, which reassured me that Ariel was in great hands. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and attentive dog boarder. Jessy F.

Pia has been an amazing caregiver for my dog, Chantal. She treats Chantal like her own, showing so much love and attention. She’s been reliable and always went the extra mile to make sure Chantal was happy and comfortable. I couldn’t ask for a better person to care for my dog. – Christian

Schedule

I have a flexible daily schedule, which lets me build pet care right into my day — walks, feeding times, and playtime happen exactly when your dog needs them, not just when it's convenient for me.

Safety, trust & environment

I take safety seriously, whether we're at your home or mine. I stick closely to your pet's routine and any instructions you give me, keep the space calm and clean, and never leave a dog unattended. Your dog's comfort and safety always come first.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day includes walks, playtime, feeding on schedule, and lots of one-on-one attention. My own dog is super friendly and gets along great with other dogs, so yours often gets some extra playtime and company too. I follow your pet's routine closely to keep them relaxed and happy.
