Pet care experience

I’m a dog lover forever

I am an animal lover in general. I have experience caring for my own pets, and over time, I have also looked after the pets of neighbors and family members. I enjoy the atmosphere that having pets at home creates; we love showering them with affection and ensuring they feel comfortable while in our care.

Took great care of our girl even though she was a bit anxious being somewhere new. Thank you!

Maria took Mathilda for almost a week and she did so great! Would book her again for sure. Thank you for sending pictures and videos and giving me a great feeling. She had the best time with you!

She was very sweet and took great care of Olaf! He had several different eye drops that needed to be given on a specific schedule, and she was very diligent about making sure he received everything when he was supposed to. She confirmed the instructions with me, sent videos of his drops being given, and kept me updated every day on how he was doing, which I really appreciated and gave me peace of mind while I was away. Olaf seemed comfortable with her, and I’m thankful she took such good care of him!

Maria went above and beyond making our dog Zoey feel comfortable. We do not normally leave Zoey with a dog sitter so she is not used to being with someone new. Maria sent lots of message updates and pictures to let me know how Zoey was doing. I will definitely reach out to Maria again to care for Zoey. I highly recommend her!

Safety, trust & environment

I am very strict regarding schedules; I adapt to the specific routines of each pet. I always pay close attention to their feeding times, medication schedules, and every other need. I love animals, so I adore showering them with affection to ensure they feel safe and at ease in a healthy environment.
