Love both cats and dogs!
Pet care experience
Ask me for my discount code! I absolutely love walking dogs to get my steps in! It is so nice to have a sweet companion to hang out with and get their energy out! I have owned dogs my whole life and also dog sat long term for friends and family members. Having spent over twenty years caring for cats, I've picked up quite a few tricks of the trade. From doling out medication to preventing runners from getting out and coaxing out scared ones who prefer hiding, I've learned a thing or two about feline behavior and needs. My commitment to their well-being has made me a go-to source in the cat-loving community.
Reviews
Maria did such a great job walking our dog for us on days when we both worked! She is responsible and always on time. Our dog loves her and looks forward to her visits!
Maria is such a caring animal lover! Her first priority is animal health and safety and she is a reliable pet parent/caregiver. She goes above and beyond to ensure that you and your pet are comfortable and happy.
Maria is great with our cats. We lived together in college and she would take care of my cats when I was gone for the weekend and they loved it!
About Maria M.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
My own cats are used to me being very attentive with lots of pets and complicated meal times. I have one cat that requires medication with one meal a day and another cat that gets eye drops almost daily. For others, I am very used to just saying hello to a scared cat when I stop in to feed them and clean their litter while other times I will play with an outgoing cat for up to ten minutes. I feel incredibly strong about being gentle with pets and honestly it took me a long time to allow strangers to check in on my own cats. Overall, I treat my cats like children and I feel that every pet parent should have someone they can trust to check in on their babies.
Information Maria M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your cat or dog is a runner or aggressive. Additionally please make me aware if they have any medical issues.
A typical day
For cats, I love playing with them with a string or ball. If your cat enjoys lasers, that is a fun way to get their energy out. With dogs, I enjoy long walks and throwing a ball for them.
