Availability

I’m a recent master’s graduate with a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of time caring for pets throughout the day. Being around animals is something I truly enjoy, especially since I grew up with dogs and miss having them in my daily life. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m available for short-term boarding, drop-in visits, walks and house sitting. I’m able to adapt to each pet’s needs and provide consistent attention, playtime, and care.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets by following their regular routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their environment, whether in my home or theirs, and provide plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I always respect the owner’s instructions and preferences, and I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away.

Pet care experience

Lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and miss having pets of my own, which is why pet sitting is meaningful to me. I can provide walks, playtime, feeding and attentive care, and I’m patient with untrained pets. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care.

Maria took such amazing care of our senior dog Chiko while we were away on vacation. He has a lot of medications and specific needs, and she was incredibly accommodating, attentive, and patient with him. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. She also kept us updated with photos throughout the trip, which we really appreciated. You can tell she genuinely cares for the animals she looks after. We’re so grateful for everything she did for Chiko and would absolutely trust her with him again.

I would like to take a moment and thank-you for taking such a good care of cosmo. I knew from your calm demeanour and gentle persuasion that you would be great care taker. We would love to rebook your services in future as per your availability. Keep up the good work, remember it makes a huge and valuable contribution to others and people like you deserve much more of appreciation. With love from us.

She was very attentive with Mota and followed all the instructions perfectly. We really appreciate the care she gave her. Mota was happy and well taken care of. We will definitely hire her again next time!

Maria is a caring and patient person who truly loves animals. As her older sister, I’ve seen how naturally she connects with pets—we grew up with them, and she’s always been amazing with them. She’s taken care of my cat, Ito, and my dog, Athos, while I was away, doing both drop-ins and house sitting. They were always happy, comfortable, and clearly well looked after when I got back. She also kept me updated with messages and photos, which I really appreciated. I would trust her with my pets anytime and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and reliable sitter.
