Pet care experience

I Love pets like my own family!

Animals have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, hamsters, and many other animals since I was about 8 years old (or maybe even earlier!), and over the years I’ve developed a deep love and understanding of animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I’ve recently graduated, so my schedule is now more flexible. I’m currently studying German from 12:45 PM to 4:00 PM on weekdays, but outside of those hours I have plenty of availability to care for your pets. I’m especially happy to help in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends. Feel free to reach out about your dates and schedule, and I’ll be happy to see what we can arrange! I’m originally from Colombia, where it’s common to see many street dogs and cats in need of care. From a young age, my sister and I would bring home sick or abandoned animals, and our mom always supported us in helping them. These early experiences taught me so much about the importance of respecting, caring for, and loving animals. Over time, my mom even created a small community to help animals in need, and our home became a temporary shelter for countless furry friends. We fed, walked, and cared for these animals, took them to the vet, and made sure they were neutered or spayed—all funded by donations and our own savings. It was never about profit, but purely about love and helping animals who needed it. In 2017, I moved to the USA, where I occasionally worked with a small company caring for dogs and cats. My responsibilities included feeding, walking, playing with the pets, and keeping their owners updated with photos. I also had the opportunity to host some of the pets in my own home. Later, while living in Sweden, I continued caring for dogs and other animals, both for friends and for regular clients. I really enjoyed getting to know each pet’s unique personality and building trusting relationships with both the animals and their owners. I’ve now moved to Germany, and while I’m excited about this new chapter, I have to admit that I’m really missing having animals around! 🥹❤️ Caring for pets has always been a meaningful part of my life, so I’d love the opportunity to spend time with your furry family members and give them all the love, attention, and care they deserve. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, company, or simply someone to make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away, I’d be happy to help. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your furry family members! 🐾❤️

Mafe is the most amazing dog sitter! She takes good care of my dog, adjusts to her needs, gives updates and you can tell she really cares about giving the animals she is pet-sitting the best care possible! As a pet-owner you can relax and know that everything is going good. Same as the last time, she is trustworthy, kind, great communicator, friendly, positive and I highly recommend her! ❤️❤️

Mycket trevligt och lätt att kommunicera med. Min hund blev mycket väl omhändertagen. Jag fick kontinuerligt medd med foto och text om hur vår hund mådde och hade det. Jag är otroligt nöjd 😊

Mafe took great care of Buddy and even went on a big hike with him. He loved being there for the two days that Mafe took care of him. It was a great experience and I would recommend Mafe to anyone who needs a pet sitter in Stockholm :).

Schedule

This year, my schedule is a little busier as I’m doing an internship and studying more during the week. However, I’m still available to care for your lovely pets during Friday afternoons and weekends—and I’d love to help whenever I can! Feel free to reach out about my availability, and we’ll find a time that works. When I’m not at the university, I enjoy volunteering, taking online German classes, and exploring various freestanding courses. At home, I nurture my green thumb with my beloved plants, dive into captivating books, unleash my creativity through painting and writing, or unwind with a good movie. (Now, I am learning how to do embroidery) Being an outdoor enthusiast, I take daily walks through the nearby forest, which is my absolute favorite place, and I often stroll into the city too. As a passionate dog lover, I absolutely cherish spending time with dogs. Even though my schedule is a little more packed, I still find time for walks and playtime. I prioritize providing attentive, loving care to ensure that the dogs I look after are happy, well-exercised, and showered with affection. Don’t hesitate to reach out—I’m happy to discuss my availability!

Safety, trust & environment

As I mentioned before my family back home rescue animals and I have some basic steps/rules that I try to keep in mind while I am having a dog or cat. 1. Give food and water 2. Take the energy out (it can be going outside or playing inside) 3. Give them their own place to rest and feel comfortable. 4. Last but not least: LOVE. Every pet have their own schedule. I try to take dogs out between 2 to 4 hr (raining or not). <<My partnert loves animals too>>

A typical day

I will walk with them to the park or Nackareservatet. We can play with water, go to the park and play with a ball or catch.
