Maria did an amazing job taking care of our three cats while we were out of town for almost 2 weeks. She was incredibly communicative and spent extra time to make sure our skittish cats were acclimated to her. She went above and beyond and we would absolutely hire her again!

I John B, can vouch to Maria's timeliness and attentiveness towards pet care. To my knowledge she has always practiced safe and respectful animal care for her own pets and others.

My cat, Lucifer, is not easy to win over — he’s shy, particular, and usually prefers to be left alone. But somehow, Maria managed to earn his trust in no time. I’ve never seen Lucifer take to someone so quickly. Maria has this calm, gentle energy that animals just seem to love, and she always takes the time to understand each pet’s unique personality. When I have to be away, I know Lucifer is in the best hands — well-fed, cared for, and genuinely loved. Maria isn’t just reliable and responsible; she has a true gift with animals. I feel so lucky to have a friend who treats my cat like family.

Schedule

I currently do not work so I have a very flexible schedule, I do have a grade school child but am completely free weekdays from 9am-2pm. Weekends my schedule is also very flexible but will have a little less time available due to dedicating time with my child. Overall I am very flexible and willing to work around both our schedules and needs.
