Pet care experience

Especially fur you: MARIAG71031

I am a pup parent myself with a huge love for all furry friends. As a therapist, I understand that you are entrusting me with a part of your family and will always treat your furry friend as such. I have multiple years of experience taking care of family and friend's dogs, fostering dogs and cats, and am a previous volunteer at the animal shelter. I will ensure to keep you updated with plenty of sweet photos while you’re away!

She was reliable, communicative, and made us feel completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again!

Maria has taken care of my 2 dogs and 2 cats over the last several years, sometimes away for 2 weeks at a time. I've never felt like a pet caregiver has cared as much as Maria. My elderly cats both love her and even my difficult dachshund listens to her. Maria doesn't only care for my babies, but she loves them like her own. I couldn't give her a better recommendation. If you're looking for someone who truly loves animals, and goes above and beyond to care for them, look no further than Maria.

Maria has been a loving help in pet sitting my dog over the years. She is very attentive and radiates true love for all the pets she has taken care of. Maria is truly reliable and keeps me updated whenever she checks up on my dog. I encourage you to book with her if you are needing someone to look after your pet!

Maria has watched my two doxins and my 2 cats whenever I go out of town, as well as just walks them when I have to work in office (I usually work from home), for about 6 years now. I have never had any issues and she cares for my pets like they are her own. Would 10/10 recommend you use her if you want someone who will show your pets love while you're gone.

Maria is an exceptional pet caregiver! Her love for animals is evident in the care and attention she provided to my two adorable floof balls (my cats.) She's responsible, reliable, and treated my pets like her own. Highly recommend!

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors I should be aware of. I want to provide an easy transition for your furry friend and can only do so by being aware of their needs and how to make them feel the most comfortable.
