Safety, trust & environment
I ask for and follow all the instructions the pet's family gave me, reporting back via WhatsApp on the pet's behaviour (if they are, drank water, played, slept, peed/pooped). For dogs, I play with them before leaving the house to build trust. I also bring their treats (authorised by their family) to the walks and do a few recall/reward rounds before we leave. For cats, I let them smell me first and leave them alone so they can get used to me. If I have multiple visits, I'll leave a personal item so they can get familiar with my smell and are not as scared/bothered the next time I come by.
Ratings and reviews
Maria was excellent with little Hugo who has a lot of energy and can be a handful at times. She is kind, friendly, very good communicator, and more importantly, she really knows how to mamage well a puppy.
Maria Beatriz (Bia) was FANTASTIC. From the start at the meet & greet she asked so many insightful questions and took the greatest amount of care in our home. She sent us plenty of photos and updates on how the cats were doing throughout the long weekend, which we really appreciated. And she played with them so much! We definitely will be booking Bia again - thank you so much!
Bea was communicative, punctual and very detail oriented. She carefully read all of the instructions I gave her, asked lots of questions and sent lots of updates. She looks after Sonny so well and clearly does the best job she possibly can! I have already booked her again :)
Another terrific pet sit with Maria!! She’s organized and thorough and Merkel really loves all the attention she gets. Thank you Maria!
Maria was just so lovely! Rosa our dog loved her and I just felt so at ease leaving them in the flat together. She sent loads of pics ( obvs love that!) and kept us informed the whole time. Rosa can be a bit randomly reactive but I felt Maria was very capable and a calm positive influence on her. I would def book her again!
Maria left details notes every day about her care of Ho chi. She played with him and made sure he was appropriately fat and watered. The house was immaculate when I returned
