I’m in walking-distance to many places in Downtown SD for quick or frequent check-ins. I provide detailed updates and fun pics of playtime! My home would be a calm and peaceful space for your pet, as it’s just me and my fish tank :)

Information Maria K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are any medical concerns I should be aware of. I’d also love to know their favorite toy to play with, and what your pet’s personality is like with new people.

A typical day

A typical check-in would start off with some hello pets to greet the cat & have them get used to me. I then would check on food & water, then scoop the liter box (taking the waste out with me when I leave). Then of course, there’s play time! I’ll provide stimulation, exercise & fun through various toys. I will always make sure to take adorable and/or silly photos to share as well & provide a detailed status update, as well as a cuddle report.

Cat care experience

For about a year, I worked at a cat lounge and rescue center. We’d take in or pick up abandoned cats and kittens, work with vet techs to administer medication when needed, maintain a tidy room with multiple litter boxes (scooped frequently!), sanitize and clean each night before leaving, and help families adopt their new cuddly friend. I also created and updated each cat’s “profile” online for visitors to be informed of the cats they are seeing & which are available for adoption, full of cute pics and personality statements for each one. I enjoy documenting playtime with pets and will always send quality pics & videos, as well as a detailed update & cuddle report. :)

Maria was so sweet and made us feel super comfortable about leaving our cat who can be shy around new people/in new environments! She was super responsive and flexible about pickup/drop off times!

Loved working with Maria! She was super responsive and willing to accommodate my cat. Maria administered meds and made sure my cat felt right at home! Also, was very easy to pick up because she made sure everything was put together.

Maria always takes great care of my cat. Leo enjoys playing with her and always looks super relaxed and happy after spending time with her. She also keeps everything very organized and clean. I will definitely use her again in the future.

Maria is absolutely wonderful. She updated on my cat regularly, gave him extra care, and spent tons of quality time with him. He was very happy to be at her home, feeling safe and comfortable. I cannot recommend her enough.
