I am happy to travel to you and care for your babies at your home even overnight if needed! I make sure your pets have sufficient water/food before leaving and as well as clean up any accidents that have happened in your home. I like to make sure your fur babies will be okay until you arrive! For overnight house sitting I require a meet-and-greet with you and your pets prior so you and your babies can get to know me and so we can cover any basics and questions you or I may have! I want to make sure you leave with peace of mind knowing your babies are in good hands! 🙏🏼

Information Mai V. would like to know about your pet

*Must know any schedule feeding routine you may have *How often do they need to use the restroom? *If they are crate trained or are able to free roam around the house *If they have any allergies or other medical issues *Are they fearful with storms? If so, how to address it.

A typical day

I love playing with dogs and I am working on being more active so your pups will enjoy a nice walk around your neighborhood or if they are okay with car rides and other pets, I would love to take them to a park! I love updating pet parents on how their babies are doing so fear not, you will receive updates! ❤️ For House Sitting services, if you have a fenced yard and toys, your pups will enjoy running around playing with me and their toys! I have no problem walking your pets and taking them to places with me but you MUST provide a leash/harness and notify me prior to booking if your pet is reactive with other animals or if they have some form of triggers. When inside they will receive lots of love and cuddles! ??

Pet care experience

My name is Mai Vasquez, I have taken care of dogs on and off since I was about 13 years old! I am a huge puppy/dog lover! I enjoy walking them and bathing them, as well as having play time. I have a black and white tuxedo cat, I am experienced with cats when it comes to trimming their claws, feeding, and brushing! I also have a German Shepherd that loves to run and burn off energy so dealing with active dogs is common for me.

Mai was an excellent pet sitter. Sent plenty of of update pictures and got my very shy cat to come out of hiding.

We had a few scheduling hiccups at first, but after a while everything worked out and WOW she was wonderful with my dog, Arlo. He’s a very excited 78 lb puppy, and I was nervous leaving him for the first time, but she immediately made me feel at ease. She handled him confidently and sent pictures and updates throughout the day, which made me feel reassured and at peace. I would definitely recommend her and plan to use her again.

Thank you so much Mai! You helped out and loved on my boy last minute when I was in a pinch! The pics and updates were so much appreciated and helped me to feel some relief of anxiousness of leaving Linus with a stranger! He was happy when I returned so I know he felt cared for! We will be reaching out again!

Mai takes my Maverick for a walk every few Monday’s. Maverick takes a while to warm up to others but he looks forward to his walks with Mai.
