About Maya M.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
As the current owner of 3 dogs and 20+ years experience caring for animals, I am a great choice for your pet care needs. I am not offering care in my own home, but can come to yours for daily visits / walks and am sometimes available for overnights in your home.
Information Maya M. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any special needs, including medication, food and toys. Does your dog prefer walking, going to the dog park or running around the yard? What is your pet’s personality? Are there things that make your pet uncomfortable or stressed, such as new people, other pets, squirrels, the mail person, etc? Is your cat indoor only or also an explorer of the wild? Do you have a special routine for taking medication?
A typical day
For pups, we can explore the neighborhood or chase after a ball / frisbee at the park or in your yard. We can go on hikes too! I have several daily Forest Park hikes that are super fun. We can also play all the favorite games, play with favorite toys and chill with some belly rubs and brushing. For kitties, we can play, cuddle, hide, lounge, look out the window and chat with each other. For everyone else, the possibilities await!

Pet care experience
As an experienced pet care professional with more than 20 years of hands-on experience, I’m here to provide dependable, heartfelt care for your pets. Years ago, I ran a full-time pet care business while raising my young children, and now that my kids are getting older, I’m excited to return to this work I love so much. In addition to pet care, I own a small design business, which gives me the flexibility to create a schedule that fits your needs—whether that means daily check-ins, long walks or in-home overnight stays. At home, I share life with two energetic Australian Shepherds and one sweet (sometimes anxious) Chihuahua-Collie-Poodle mix, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your animals. I’d be honored to help keep your pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for.

Maya did another fantastic job watching my cat, putting in lots of effort to find where he was hiding

Maya was super kind and easy to communicate with!
Maya is great! She’s reliable and our dog loves her


Maya was great! Very communicative and I enjoyed the daily updates on my two cats :)
