Safety, trust & environment

I always treat pets with the utmost respect in order to make them feel comfortable in their own home and around me. I have witnessed different pet behavior that allows me to pick up on cues to know what they need.

Another great visit with Maria! Blanche was well taken care of and we came home to a happy cat. Maria took the time to give Blanche the attention she needs while we were gone. We feel comfortable traveling more knowing that Blanche is in good hands.

Maria is a wonderful sitter! She is great at communicating, completing requests and taking extra care with the pets she checks in on. I wasn’t worried about our cat at all while away because I knew she was well taken care of. We have already rebooked her for our next trip! Highly recommend her services.

Maria was wonderful at communicating, and took care of my baby while I was away, and made sure to send cute pictures of my kitty!

Maria was great! She was always on time, communicative, and our cats liked her. She sent us many photos which gave such peace of mind, would definitely book her again!
