Hi! I’m Maria, and animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes—from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs—as well as cats with all kinds of personalities. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own.

I have hands-on experience with daily walks, potty training, feeding, refreshing water, cleaning up after pets, administering oral medication when instructed, playtime, cuddles, and keeping pets on their normal routine. I understand that every animal is different, so I always take the time to learn what makes your pet feel comfortable and happy.

For dog walks, I typically offer 30- or 60-minute walks, making sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, bathroom breaks, and enrichment while staying safe at all times. During drop-in visits, I feed pets, provide fresh water, clean litter boxes or pick up waste, give medications if needed, and spend quality time playing or relaxing with them—whatever they enjoy most.

If I’m providing house sitting or overnight care, I’ll stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule to reduce stress while you’re away. I’ll also keep your home tidy and respect your space.

Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. If an emergency ever arises, I will contact you immediately and, if necessary, seek veterinary care based on the instructions you’ve provided. I’m calm under pressure and always put your pet’s well-being first.

I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for several years through family, friends, and my own pets. I’ve worked with puppies, senior pets, high-energy dogs, shy cats, and pets who need extra patience to feel comfortable. I always adapt my care to each pet’s personality and routine so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away.

My availability is very flexible, including weekdays, evenings, weekends, and holidays. Whether you need regular walks, last-minute drop-in visits, overnight care, or extended pet sitting, I’m happy to help whenever my schedule allows.

I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, sticking to medication schedules (oral medications), reinforcing training routines, and keeping owners updated with photos and messages throughout every visit.

For house sitting, I do my best to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible. Depending on your pet’s needs, I typically spend most of the day and overnight in your home, only leaving for work, errands, or other commitments, and never for extended periods. I’ll always make sure your pet is fed, exercised, has plenty of companionship, and isn’t left alone longer than we’ve agreed.

I’m available on weekdays, evenings, weekends, and holidays whenever possible, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal schedule.

I know how difficult it can be to leave your furry family member, which is why I’ll send regular updates, photos, and messages so you always know how they’re doing.

I have reliable transportation, a flexible schedule, and experience caring for both dogs and cats. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved until you return.

I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet, and I look forward to becoming someone you can trust whenever you need reliable, compassionate care.
