Pet care experience

Your Pets Are My Family Too ❤️😊

Hi There! Thank you for visiting my profile! I love animals! They are so precious and so special to me. I have 2 lovely birds and a lovely dog too. I have been taking care of birds, dogs, guinea pigs, cats, rabbits, fish and turtles since I was a little girl. I am a kind, caring, empathetic, diligent, respectful, joyful, responsible and fun animal caregiver. You can always trust me to take care of your precious pets and I will always provide and sent updates under my care. I also take care of wild birds by providing bird feeders in my neighbourhood. My priority is to take the best proper care of your pet babies and always show them love and kindness 😊🩷.

House Sitting • Jul 12, 2026

Maria was lovely! All of my (very detailed) requests were respected and Maria never pushed my dog. She has an understanding of a dog’s body language and was very patient. My dog is quite timid with new people and she warmed up to Maria quickly! Would definitely trust Maria with my pup in the future.

Doggy Day Care • May 11, 2026

Maria was absolutely amazing with Barfi! 🤍 She kept me updated throughout the day and sent so many cute pictures which really gave me peace of mind. Luna is absolutely adorable, and I’m so glad the two of them had such a great time together 🥹 You can truly tell how much care and love Maria gives to the dogs she watches. Barfi looked so happy and comfortable with her, it honestly felt like leaving her with family. I would definitely recommend her and would 100% book with her again 🫶🏼

We couldn't be happier with Maria! Our pup can be a little shy and timid with new people, so we were a bit nervous leaving him for a few nights, but Maria put us completely at ease. She was incredibly responsive, caring, and sent us regular updates throughout the stay so we always knew he was doing well. It was clear she genuinely loves the animals in her care. We came home to one happy, relaxed pup, and we'll absolutely be booking with Maria again. We would highly recommend Maria to anyone!

This is our second time leaving Ellie with Maria to take care of her! Maria is so kind, loving, patient and frequently updated us on how Ellie was doing and getting along with her family. She is patient, knowledgeable and takes such excellent care of Ellie each time and treats her like family. We highly recommend Maria and will definitely be recommending her and going back to her whenever we need someone to take care of Ellie for us. We truly adore her and appreciate all the effort and time in taking care of her.

Safety, trust & environment

I have 2 birds and a dog that are my precious babies, so I understand how all animals are precious to us pet parents. I live in a townhouse and there is a park near my house to walk pets. I also have access to a car. And I always keep my house clean and tidy. I also like to only have one pet boarding or visiting my home as I can focus on him or her 🩷.
