Reviews
Extremely reliable, friendly, and always takes the best care of our cats.
We are very happy with Maria’s assistance with our Frenchie while we were on vacation. He is nervous when he first meets people, but he warned right up to Maria in no time. I appreciate how punctual and professional Maria was during the entirety of our booking. She also updated us with thorough notes and photos during each visit, which made us so happy. It was our first time leaving Toe home with a pet sitter, but it won’t be our last! Thanks again, Maria! :)
Maria did a wonderful job taking care of our little fur baby (snowshoe cat) while we were away for a long weekend. She was able to step in at relatively short notice and provide our kitty with food and live in our absence. She left very detailed reports of her visits with lots of pictures and we felt assured that our boy was in great hands. Highly recommend. Thanks, Maria!
Maria did a great job dropping in on my kitties for a morning, and I came home to two calm and happy cats. She left detailed notes and photos of the visit. After only two times working with Maria, my very skittish cat came out to greet her when she arrived, which speaks to how easily she seems to build trust with them. Thanks again!

Safety, trust & environment
As a pet caregiver, my top priority is ensuring the safety and well-being of your furry friends. To this end, I maintain a vigilant watch to ensure no hazards or dangerous items are left within your pet's reach. I always keep them leashed during walks, providing security and control to minimize potential risks. When conducting drop-in visits, I remain meticulous, ensuring all items are appropriately stored away before departing. As an added measure of assurance, I am always receptive to any additional information you may have that will help me better care for your pet and provide you with the peace of mind you deserve.

A typical day
Each day begins with a refreshing long walk, setting the tone for a day filled with engaging activities and quality playtime. Your pet will enjoy an abundance of affectionate cuddles and playtime I provide throughout the day. After a productive day, we will enjoy an afternoon walk. On weekends, I love to take long walks, venturing to the nearby park to enjoy the river. Your pet's well-being and happiness are of the utmost importance to me, and I take great care to ensure that each moment spent with them is filled with joy and fulfillment.
