Cats

Availability

I make sure to spend time with my babies 2-3 times a day. I have a good routine of checking on them every morning, when I get home from work, and before I go to bed. We play everyday! I grew up with multiple cats and I loved them all dearly. In March, my boyfriend and I just adopted our cat Delilah (but we always call her Kitty) and I’m so happy to have a cat again!! Over the course of my life my family had obi-wan, Luke, and Padme (all found as kittens in a car engine!), Luka, Linus, Lucy, & Tyler in all. And if you have an exotic pet and are looking for a sitter, I’m your gal! I’ve had my ferret Sephrina for almost 4 and a 1/2 years, and I grew up with multiple ferrets (Farrah was the most cuddly/sweet). I’ve pet sat for a bearded dragon before, briefly cared for a red eared slider and geckos, and grew up with many different birds! Like conures (greek cheek, sun, nanday), chickens, peacocks, geese, ducks, and emus! I’m available on most Sundays and Thursdays AM/PM. Some Saturdays and other days of the week may pop up on my schedule! Please check my availability and don’t hesitate to send me a message! WEEKDAYS: I am available from 5:30-8pm!

About Maria C.

Cat skills

Oral medication administration

Safety, trust & environment

I am very careful about coming in and out of doors and being hyper-vigilant on pets whereabouts. I keep Kitty indoors, Sephrina tries to sneak past me behind the washer/dryer and will climb inside of our couch in her room. Getting outdoor birds to bed and making sure conures are in a safe place before opening an “outside” door are great examples of taking a headcount! Being hyper-vigilant is necessary. I always respect boundaries and do my best to keep my energy calm in all scenarios. I take great care and pride in pet health and sticking to a schedule!

Information Maria C. would like to know about your pet

Of course let me know of any injuries or medication your pet has/needs, and your go-to vet! If your pet had a rough past and may be sensitive to certain movements/sounds too. Tell me where their favorite pet/scratch spots are! Where do they feel safest in the house?

A typical day

I love to play with my pets! They each have their own likes and dislikes and I’m very attuned to their playtime needs. Let me know your pets favorite toys, how they like to play, etc!

Cat care experience

I grew up and lived with many cats over the years. I absolutely adore them. In high school I did some volunteering with cats at my hometown’s humane society. I just adopted an 8 month old cat named Delilah. She’s the sweetest! I love cats and enjoy giving them playtime and becoming their friend.

Maria is an amazing, detail-oriented, pet sitter. She takes great care of our ferret, which has a whole list of do's and don'ts. We also recently got a cat which absolutely adores her. Maria is extremely gentle with our animals and is committed to their health and happiness. She also has a lot of experience caring for birds (ask her about her mom's emu farm)!
