Safety, trust & environment

I always like to check the house before I leave to make sure the animals aren’t able to get into anything they’re not supposed to. I take away any toys that will most likely get ripped and put them into a box or drawer. While I am with the animals, I keep my eyes on them at all times to make sure they don’t have an accident, eat something they’re not supposed to, or anxiously rip up something. I make sure to give them lots of love and attention, so they feel safe as well.

Information Maria D. would like to know about your pet

Is there anything that makes your pet nervous or uncomfortable? How does your pet like to play? How does your pet react to other animals on walks?

A typical day

I think it’s important to mentally and physically stimulate pets, so I’ll play with their toys, play fetch, make them run, take them on walks, give them treats to build trust, and try to train them to do tricks! Also, I try to make them do poses for pictures.

Pet care experience

Hi everyone! I have 14 years of experience with animals, mostly with dogs. However my friends and family have entrusted me with their dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, fishes, turtles, lizards, etc. I love puppies, so if you have one, trust that they will be in good hands. I have had two puppies so far, so I understand the teething phase. If they have a few accidents, I wouldn’t mind cleaning up! The same goes for senior pets.

Maria did an excellent job with our cat Jimmy! She was thorough, thoughtful, and communicative, which we sincerely appreciated while we were out of town. Would highly recommend booking Maria for taking care of your pet(s)!
