Experienced Vet Care Sitter

Pet care experience

Hey everyone! My Name is Maria (but i go by Tess) and I am a current vet assistant for 7 years now. As an avid pet lover, I am used to all sorts of kiddos. From the young and hyper pups, to the spicy or shy kitty's, old or young I have cared and tended to them with equal amounts of love. With my current work experience, you can be rest assured that your fur friends are in good hands. I am skilled in giving all sorts of medication to even the toughest of kiddos, and I know what to look out for in case of emergencies. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!

"Top notch!" It's nice to have a sitter who combines affection for animals and veterinary skills ("Tess" is a veterinary assistant). When I returned from my trip, Barnaby (goldendoodle) first ran out upon greeting me, then ran right back inside as if to thank Tess for taking good care of him. (Yes, he's like that). Typically, he runs to the car as if saying "let's go" (not unexpected), so his running back inside said a lot to me. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

It was the first time leaving our dog and we were nervous about it. Maria put us at ease!! From the pictures and video she sent each day we could tell our puppy was happy and having a great time. Our dog got a little infection right before we left and we were very glad to have a vet technician looking out for signs of more problems and making sure the pills were given each day. Our house was just as we left it, she even washed the towels that were used. We will absolutely invite Maria back for the next time we leave town!!

Maria is a phenomenal caretaker. She watched our 8 month old puppy for a long weekend. Pippin was well cared for and had the best time playing with her super friendly pups (who became our dog’s best friends over the weekend). We loved the video updates of him throughout the weekend! Her home is lovely and in a quiet, safe neighborhood. We felt so comfortable leaving our baby there while we were out of town. Highly recommend :)

Maria watched my puppy the day after her spay while me and my partner were working! She was very helpful and I was very grateful to have her help

For my services, If your kiddo is with me, I live alone in a cute townhouse with a big yard, and friendly neighbors. I do however own 2 dogs and a kitty who are always wanting to make friends. I also offer a spare room if you have a Shy and nervous kitty that they can feel at ease in if needed. In addition, I have veterinary materials at home depending on the situation, and Dr's I can talk with if concerns arise in my care. This also apply to any service as well.

A typical day

Let me know where your kiddo loves to go! Also if they are good for off leash parks at all. Otherwise, it's a day of play and walking at my favorite park, Boulevard Park, or hanging out at home with toys for the older kiddos.

Currently, I work from monday-friday. Occasionally, I do work at my vet clinic so I will let you know if I work a day there when watching your pets. I also own 3 dogs and a cat myself, so the only time I would need is to check up on them if I am at your home.
