Pet care experience

I<3Animals

I have over 10 years of experience as a pet sitter. I help watch my sisters 3 yo GS. I love dogs and cats. I love walks and jogs, I am a very active person. I am a full-time student at UB but my school schedule is very flexible overall. I have many referrals if needed upon request.

Maricarmen (Mary) was wonderful! She is communicative and professional. My cats were in great care and even my more shy cat opened up to her immediately. I look forward to a partnership with her and trusted care for my kitties!

Mari has been walking my shepherd around Roland Park for months. She loves Mari and cannot wait to see her for her daily walk! Mari is responsible and conscientious, and will take good care of your pet.

Mary has watched my cat for two years now and he has stayed with her several times while I went on trips. Rafa loves her so much and he enjoys his time at Mary’s. I trust her with my cat and he loves her so much.

Maricarmen has taken care of our pets for a while. She is great and pays attention to their needs and behaviors. Our husky enjoys long walks with her. She is very sweet and kind, and will make our pets feel safe.

I pet and house sit part-time and have a very flexible school schedule with only one in person class that allows me to be available for even last minute bookings. I am free most of the day and will work around client's schedules.

Safety, trust & environment

I love to snuggle with pets, I love walks, I love playing with them, I love welcoming them into my home, I love different breeds, ages and sizes.

A typical day

I love long walks. I love jogging so if your dog needs that, that is perfect for me. When I watch dogs, I walk them 3 times a day, morning, lunch and evening for 20-30 minutes each walk. If they’re up for it so am I but totally ok if they’re not.

I don’t have a preference but to make sure your dog is safe, I prefer no interactions with other dogs while on walks with me, to ensure the safety of your dog.
