Pet care experience

Your Pets Deserve the Best Care

Hello, My name is Maria, I am a nurse living in Port Solent, Portsmouth. I have a gorgeous cat called Gibi I have had him for 14 years now and he is my everything. I have grown up around cats and love all animals. I’m very responsible, reliable and enjoy cuddling other people's cats as well as my own. I am happy to administer tablets and flea treatments if needed. I enjoy spending time with all cats and like give them treats, cuddles, playtime and spoil them rotten with love. I am happy to fill auto feeders, administer medication, cuddle and play. Also happy if your cat is shy and just wants some food and a little nose rub then to be left alone. I am more than happy to water plants, put the rubbish out etc if needed, feel free to ask. I can send photos and updates on your request ☺️

I Ensure each cat has its own resources (food bowls, resting areas, scratching posts, etc.) to prevent conflict and allow them to have space from each other when needed.

I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Maria. I knew I'd made the right choice before she had even met the cats, and they took to her so naturally when she did. It was a great experience, with regular updates and the satisfaction knowing I had nothing to worry about throughout and on my return. Thank you again.

My cats instantly adored Maria even my 18year old who is usually reserved. Maria is reliable and maintained good contact. My one cat is on medication and Maria administered that happily and successfully. Would recommend Maria and use again.

As Maria's best friend, I've had the pleasure of watching her interact with animals for years, and it's truly a joy to see. She has this incredible, natural connection with pets they just gravitate toward her. Whether it's my own high-energy dog, a shy cat, or a friend's mischievous parrot, Maria approaches every animal with a genuine sense of calm, love, and respect. I’ve trusted her to care for my pets on many occasions, and I always feel completely at ease. She's not just reliable and responsible; she goes above and beyond to make sure the animals are happy and well-cared for. She'll send me updates with photos and funny stories, and she pays attention to all the little details ,their favorite toys, their quirks, and their routines. Maria treats every pet like her own, and that's the kind of person you want caring for your furry family member. Any pet would be lucky to have her as their sitter or walker.

Book Maria! She’s the ultimate professional! Returned after 14 dys away to 4 very well looked after outdoors cats & their area was cleaner & fresher than when we left! From initial correspondence & meet, I felt happy. Her form for info from us was thorough & I could see her natural instinct with cats. Highly recommend! ❤️🤩

I'm currently working only 1 day a week ,I have plenty of time to look after your fur baby. Usually I do 2 visits a day ,morning and evening but this depends on your choice.

Cats
Maria can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I always ask the owner detailed instructions on their cat's daily routine, feeding, medications, and litter box care, along with their medical history, personality traits, and contact information for them and the vet.
