Pet care experience

Animal lover with experience

I have taken care of various dog breeds of all ages since I was 11 years old. I also plenty of experience with cats, I currently have a cat and small dog of my own so I know what it takes to care for pets and will treat your pets as my own and give them the love care and attention you would.

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.

I’ve watched Maria care for animals for years, and I can honestly say her love and dedication is unmatched. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just spending time with pets who need a little extra attention, Maria treats every animal as if it were her own. She has such a gentle, patient way with them — even shy or anxious pets quickly warm up. It’s amazing to see how animals instantly trust and adore her. As a family member, I couldn’t be prouder of the compassion and responsibility Maria shows every single day. Anyone who entrusts their pet to Maria can rest easy knowing they’ll be loved and cared for 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.
