Loving, attentive, and enthusiastic

Pet care experience

I've always had a soft spot for animals. Since I was a kid, I was the designated family cat sitter - when I got a little older, I started taking care of dogs as well, and the rest is history. Communication is very, very important to me - I will always do my best to keep you updated on your pet and to clarify anything I need to know. Regular, direct communication builds trust, and trust is #1 when it comes to leaving your pet in someone else's care. My schedule is mostly pretty flexible - most of the work I do is either gig-type or freelance from home, so while I'm not free 100% of the time, it's easy for me to make time when necessary. I can't currently watch your pets in my own home, but I've always found it easier to take care of animals in an environment they're comfortable in either way.

Yet again Maija was amazing. Responsive with messaging and took care of our two cats. Will be booking for a 3rd time soon.

Maija is very professional and reliable. Our dog Otis was in good hands. We are booking her services again for our next trip. Our house was as we left it and our pup was happy and calm when we returned home.

Information Maija K. would like to know about your pet

It's really important to me to meet your pet ahead of time, especially for dogs, just to make sure everyone's comfortable when the pet sitting actually starts. Also, if they are on any medications, any dietary restrictions (or just treat preferences), any behavioral quirks, what their usual routine is, I'd love to know any and all of it. The more I know about your pet, the better I can take care of them!

A typical day

My go-to place for exercise is this really gorgeous wooded bike trail - nice and shady, never overly crowded, and lots of smells for doggy stimulation! I'm also a runner, so if your pup needs a little exercise, they're welcome to come along.
