Pet care experience
Hi there. Caring for animals is intuitive for me. I have 7 years of experience of pet care. I have cared for cats, dogs, and small animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, and rats. I am very empathetic and notice details with pets easily. They all have their own personalities and I believe they deserve the same respect we strive to give each other. I let them become comfortable with me patiently, especially if they are a shy or struggling animal. Please let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to helping you with your pet(s)!
Reviews
Maria stayed in our home to watch Kenai and she was great! She made us feel really comfortable being away with detailed updates everyday. We came back home to a clean house and happy pup. We would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter.
Maria was amazing - I have only good things to say about her. We needed someone to walk our dog urgently due to unforeseen circumstances, and Maria was available the next day. Booking was easy as she responded quickly to messages and was very clear in her communication. She arrived a few minutes early the first day to meet our dog. She clearly knows what she's doing, as our dog has some behavioural issues (jumping, pulling, mouthing) and Maria handled it all expertly. She completed an hour walk 2x/day for several days and was very reliable. She let us know her ETA and was always on time, very polite and professional, and always gave us a report on how the walk went. Our family had some challenging personal issues going on at the time and Maria was kind and compassionate throughout the time we worked with her. I would highly recommend Maria to anyone needing help with animal-related services. We appreciated her tremendously and have placed her firmly at the top of our list for any future dog-related needs.
Maria walked my dog H yesterday & she was great! She showed up a few minutes early so he could get comfortable with her before they walked. She let me know when she arrived & how things were going. When they returned she gave him his dinner & sent me a few pics. I would definitely book her again.
My pup came home exhausted and happy from her overnight with Maria. I received updates and pictures to reassure me that my nervous girl was settling in just fine. Will definitely call on her again.

I love making sure your pet is having a safe, fun time, and feels well cared for! Exercise and mental stimulation is so important for them too. I make sure small pets and cats aren't bored, and with dogs, depending on their health and energy levels, we may evego for a jog during some walks!
