Pet care experience

For loved and safe fur babies

I have the most deep and genuine love for all pets, I absolutely love being a sitter, nothing brings me joy like taking the absolute best, most loving and secure care of my client's pets. I do volunteer work at the local recue shelter, handling all sizes and breeds of dogs and cats, doing everything needed, feeding, walking, bathing, etc... People ask me why do I volunteer, and it's because my love for pets is the most pure and genuine in my heart.

Safety, trust & environment

While I cannot have a pet over my own home. I have the utmost respect for my client's home, it's rules and boundaries. I am very respectful and very open minded, I will care for each and every pet as if it was my own following any instruction and rule my client demands.

Maria has her hands full at our house watching two dogs and two cats for an extended time. One dog happens to be a full grown, very immature golden retriever who has the ability to open doors and one of the cats is a stubborn older male cat who can hide for days. That combo created a stressful day where we didn’t know if the cat had escaped. It did not but Maria spent the entire day relentlessly searching inside and out. We felt so sorry for her with us being away and her working so hard. The cat showed up at midnight and pranced downstairs like nothing was wrong. Long story short, Maria is the best sitter we’ve had. She’s very mature and responsive. It’s hard to find young people today with her work ethic and love for animals. I would use her again and again. She’s awesome.

María is truly exceptional! She provided excellent care for my five-pound Yorkie for seven days while I was away. My Sophie adored her from the moment they met. María was also very respectful of my home and even brought in packages for us. I am really happy I found such a responsible young lady that has the energy to keep up with my Sophie.

I had a great experience with Mary being in our home while away for work. She was very attentive and engaged with Kona our dog, making sure she got plenty of attention, playtime, and care while I was away. It was clear Kona felt comfortable and happy with Mary. She also treated our home with respect, keeping everything clean, tidy, and well cared for, she even watered my plants. I truly appreciated the peace of mind knowing I could trust her in our home and caring for Kona.

I’ve known Maria for a long time, and if there’s one thing I can say for sure, it’s that she genuinely loves animals. It’s not forced or “just a job” for her — she actually enjoys being around them and taking care of them. I’ve seen how patient and attentive she is, whether it’s going on walks, feeding them on time, or just sitting with them and making sure they feel comfortable. She pays attention to the little things, which I think matters a lot when you’re trusting someone with your pet. She’s also very responsible and easy to communicate with, which gives a lot of peace of mind. And honestly, animals seem to pick up on her energy really quickly — they just feel at ease around her. I wouldn’t think twice about trusting Maria with a pet. She’s caring, reliable, and treats them like they’re her own.
