Information Maria L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any special needs your pet requires. My main focus is to make sure your pet feels safe and taken care of, as I know new environments (and people) can be hard to adjust to.

A typical day

Stimulating both dogs and cats through playing is very important for me. Usually, people tend to think cats don’t need any sort of stimulation, but keeping their prey instinct active is important for their mental and physical health! When it comes to dogs, making sure they feel safe in their environment, and playing with them throughout the day, as well as taking them out for walks (which is so fun💖)!

Pet care experience

My name is Maria Francisca (I go by Fran), and I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little. As an adult I’ve adopted three cats, which has given me experience and knowledge to a “new” kind of pet! (They’re so cute 🥰). My in-laws travel frequently, and I find myself visiting often to take care of their pets as well; they have a dog and three cats! My experience also includes going out for walks, giving medicine to both dogs and cats, and making sure they’re all well taking care of💖.
