Pet care experience

I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds from playful puppies, to adult pit bulls! My own dog is crate trained and knows many commands, so I enjoy reinforcing basic training like sit, heel, and leave it. I’m reliable and attentive, comfortable with medications, and experienced with special diets. I love playtime, long walks and hikes. I’m good at reading body language to keep them happy and secure. I’m a flexible full-time online student and mom, I’ll treat your pets like family :)

Maritza was wonderful and gave me daily updates and photos of Otis. Her two young daughters were also pictured with Otis and they were loving towards him. Otis appeared content and happy. I would definitely recommend Maritza as a loving and caring pet sitter. I will consider her as my first choice in the future.

Maritza and her family were amazing with my fur baby. It was very short notice, same day, that I needed to find a sitter for a week long trip. I met with her and her pup Ozzy. They seemed to get along, Ozzy a bigger pup than my Daisy was very gentle. Daisy loved the family, playing with the littles and snuggling in between at night. Daisy will definitely be visiting again. Daisy was taken care of, loved and spoiled. I felt very comfortable and at ease leaving her. I would recommend Maritza to anyone especially those who might be a first time using a sitter.

I’ve known Martiza for years, and one thing I can say is she’s one of the most dependable and caring people I know. She helped me with my business as my social media admin, and I could always count on her to be responsible, organized, and thoughtful. When it comes to pets, she’s just as reliable, she truly loves animals and treats them like family. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and kind to watch over your pups, I couldn’t recommend her more!
