Dog and Cat lover!

Pet care experience

I have loved animals my entire life! ❤️Growing up with dogs, rabbits, and hamsters, and now sharing my home with two sweet cats, I’ve always felt a special bond with them. I have been volunteering at a cat rescue for about 4 years and that has only deepened my dedication to helping animals in need. With 8 years of experience caring for other people’s pets, I am detail-oriented and genuinely care about each animal I meet. 🤗 I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I’ve been there, looking for the perfect pet sitter to care for my own, and I understand the peace of mind that comes with knowing your pets are in good hands. Whether it's taking your dog for walks, giving them plenty of playtime and affection, or administering medication, I’m here to ensure they get all the care they need. I treat every cat and dog as if they were my own, offering them the same love, attention, and care. You can rest easy knowing your furry family members are in safe, loving hands! 🥰

Maria was so lovely with my sweet boy!! She was communicative, dependable, & sent really cute pics of their time together. He can be a little nervous around strangers but he warmed up to her very quickly and it’s obvious she cares deeply about taking care of animals & pets. I was not stressed during my time away and I’m so thankful to have found Maria. Overall a great experience & would absolutely recommend! <3

Maria was wonderful with our senior dog who takes a bit to warm up to strangers. She was reliable and showed up exactly when she said she would. Very communicative with how our pet was doing and provided super cute pictures. Would highly recommend Maria!

Always above and beyond and my cat, Harley, is always so happy to have her around when I’m away!

Maria is the best caregiver we have found for our two cats. She is kind, thoughtful, respectful, and truly understands how to approach and care for cats. She is patient, gentle, and attentive to their personalities and needs. Maria also communicates clearly and reliably, which gives us so much peace of mind when we are away. We feel very fortunate to have found her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter.
