Your Pet's Next Best Friend 🐾 💕
Pet care experience
Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover with 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and about 3 years caring for my friend’s cats. Whether your pup needs a long walk, your cat needs a quick check-in, or you're heading out of town, I provide attentive, personalized care you can count on. I specialize in safe, enjoyable dog walks with a strong focus on leash handling, and environmental awareness, especially around foxtails, bees, and other outdoor hazards. I tailor each walk to your pet’s energy level and comfort, making sure they get the right balance of exercise and affection. I also offer feeding and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats. Whether it’s refreshing food and water, giving medications. I’m happy to help keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free while you're away to keep your fur baby safe, happy, and exercised. I also offer plenty of love and attention—belly rubs, cuddles, and playtime are all part of the package! Let’s connect—I’d love to meet your furry family!

Reviews
Mayra was perfect for taking care of Teddy. You can tell she loves dogs. Her two dogs were a treat for Teddy. He loved them and had a blast playing with them. She took him for a couple of walks which he gets so excited about. Teddy hates being alone so this was a great day for him. I highly recommend Mayra and will definitely use her again.
Super knowledgeable and great at communicating.
Mayra took care of our two pups during a vacation abroad recently. She came over every day to feed them, walk them, and shower them with affection while we were gone. One of them was old and required special care, with the administration of two different medications and a special diet. She kept us updated with daily reports and pictures, giving us great peace of mind knowing that they were in such good hands. She's reliable and loving with pets, and our pups fell in love with her.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space—and your pet—with the same respect and attention I’d give my own. I follow your instructions closely to maintain your pet’s routine and environment, so they feel safe and secure while you're away. Here’s what you can expect: 🐾 Routine & Comfort: I stick to your pet’s feeding schedule, walk times, medication routines, and preferred play or cuddle habits. Familiar routines help reduce anxiety and keep them happy. 🐾 Clean & Tidy: I make sure water bowls are fresh, litter boxes and potty areas are clean, and any messes are tidied up. I leave your home as I found it. 🐾 Safety First: I’m always alert for hazards (like doors left ajar, bees, foxtails, outdoor dangers, or signs of illness) and will contact you immediately if anything seems off. 🐾 Communication: You’ll get regular updates with photos and notes, so you know your pet is doing well—and maybe even having a little fun without you. 😊 🐾 Respectful Presence: When dropping in I’m discreet, trustworthy, and respectful of your space. Your privacy and your pet’s comfort are always priorities.

Information Mayra M. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any special needs that I can account for. Their safety and comfort is top priority. I want to make sure all their needs are met.
A typical day
🐶 Dogs Nature walks or park adventures – great for exercise and sniffing new smells. Fetch and tug-of-war – classics for a reason! Puzzle toys or treat games – keeps their minds sharp. Basic training refreshers – with positive reinforcement and treats. 🐱 Cats Interactive toys like feather wands or laser pointers – great for chasing fun. Cardboard box mazes or paper bag hideouts – endless curiosity. Window perch time – watching birds and the world outside. Treat treasure hunts – hide small treats for them to sniff out. Chill and cuddle sessions – if the cat is into it!

I plan my schedule around my clients’ needs, whether that’s daily walks, morning or evening drop-ins. I space out visits to make sure I’m never rushed and each pet gets the full attention they deserve. I treat this like a real job (because it is!) and I take pride in being on time, dependable, and available when needed, including weekends and holidays. My routine is flexible, so I can adjust to meet your pet’s schedule—early mornings, midday visits, or evening care, whatever works best for them. Caring for animals is something I love, and I’ve built my lifestyle around it.
