As a vet tech, I’m comfortable with medications, special diets, or any extra medical attention your pet might need. Just let me know their routine and I’ll follow it closely.

Safety, trust & environment

Pets have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with cats and dogs, and today I’m lucky to share my home with my own two cats and two dogs. For the past two years I’ve worked as a vet tech, giving me hands-on experience caring for animals of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including those with special medical needs. I genuinely love what I do and treat every pet like my own.

Information Maia P. would like to know about your pet

To give them the best care possible, please share details like: • Feeding schedule and diet • Any medications or special medical needs • Favorite toys or games • What helps them relax or what gets them excited • Any quirks, routines, or training commands I should know The more I know, the smoother things will go and the happier your pet will be! 🐾

A typical day

I keep every pet happy and stimulated with: • Playtime (fetch, tug, laser pointers, or bubbles) • Puzzle toys, snuffle mats, and treat hunts for mental enrichment • Training tricks and positive reinforcement games • Plenty of cuddles and belly rubs • Fun, engaging walks where we stop to sniff everything I always match activities to your pet’s energy and personality. My own dogs and cats, as well as my patients, keep me full of ideas, so your furry friend will stay entertained and loved!

Pet care experience

As a vet tech with two years of hands-on experience, I bring medical knowledge and confidence that many sitters don’t have: I’m comfortable giving medications, monitoring health, and handling special needs. Growing up with pets and currently sharing my home with two cats and two dogs has made me skilled at reading body language and adjusting care quickly. I especially love doing gentle positive training with puppies and young dogs, and I provide patient, loving senior care with extra comfort and mobility support. What truly sets me apart is treating every pet like my own, giving them full attention, patience, and genuine love so they stay safe, happy, and well cared for.

Maia took such great care of my Kai. He is a reactive boy and she was able to walk him no problem. She is responsive and gives good photos ! Keeps the house clean and is well trusted. 5/5!

I strongly recommend Maia, who was terrific with my dogs when I needed to travel out of town. She took wonderful care of my elderly Great Pyrenees, who has special needs, as well as his less needy sibling. She was great at communicating and let me know about a developing ear infection that she noticed, so we were able to treat that promptly. Plus, she went above and beyond in keeping the house clean. I will certainly contact her again the next time I need to travel.

Maia is great with both my older gal and my younger man. She’s very friendly and always keeps me updated on how play dates, days out, and days in. She takes them to the beach, treats them to pup cups, and makes sure they’re always moving. Additionally, she’s very patient with my older gal’s process of taking her medication, and she keeps me in check with reminding me of the next time she is meant to get her Librela shot. Seriously could not recommend her more- she’s lovely and helps my wife and I out tremendously.

I would not trust anyone more than i do Maia with my pets. She truly cares about all the animals in her care and shes a reliable and honest person. She has great knowledge in veterinary care, and has always given me good advice when i need it. Maia will be an irreplaceable addition to your pet care team :)
