Safety, trust & environment

My family and I have 3 cats, Liam, Munchkin, and Sunni. We also have a chihuahua mixed, shes our oldest. I keep our pets on a feeding schedule and in charge of food and keeping it stocked. I am very strick about their feeding schedule and food quality. Before I even became a cat parent I did extensive research just trying to find the best quality and affordable food, litter, toys. I've always wanted the best for them and treat them as an baby. Our cats also love the outdoors so I also walk them, harnessed or off but they well enough to stay close when we walk. I've also taught Liam a few tricks for treats (he'll do almost anything for treats).

Information Maria L. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if they are escape artists, are wary to new people, or little houdinis that prefer their alone time. This will help me to know the best way to approach your pets and encourage a stress free time in your absence.

A typical day

For the pets I've watched, I'm constantly taking them out on walks whenever I can, I don't believe there is ever too much walking or play time especially with younger pets. When I get a chance I enjoy taking them to parks for walks or for free roaming if allowed by their parents. If they prefer at home fun, I'm constantly just doing the same thing just indoors, moving consistently and playing.

Pet care experience

I have a cat Liam who I care for and I help my family care for their cats and dogs as well. I have pet sit/house sit for 3 years now. I'm consistent with my check ups and walkings/feedings. I stick to a schedule all the time. I'm also always all over the areas from Venice to Riverview, I can always do drop by, a quick walk. I'm flexible with my schedule to fit your pets needs, and any last minute bookings!

Wonderful pet care, She has taken care of my shitzu Howie like he was her own. Lovely girl, and was very tidy in my home, very thoughtful. My neighbors also loved her very friendly with pets and everyone.
