Information Maria P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs upfront, detailed information regarding feeding, grooming or any specific quirks. That goes the same with cats too.

A typical day

Depending on what kind of animal I am taking care of whether it is a dog…long walks, going to a nearby park etc. If I am taking care of a cat lots of playing and cuddling.

Pet lover

Pet care experience

I have had animals most of my life. Dogs and cats, but currently no pets, but would love to get my fix taking care of your pet. I would care for your pet like he or she was my own. I have a lot of love to give and will shower your pet with love. I am a conscientious person and your pet would be very good in my hands. I have dog and cat sit for different friends while living in NYC. The last pet I had was a beagle named Lucy who I had for 12 years and she was like my daughter. She slept in the bed with me every night. Unfortunately, she passed away of cancer 7 years ago. I miss her dearly. One note is that I do not feel comfortable taking care of pit bulls or pit bull mixes. I would care for your pet in my home or your home as if they were my own pet. Feeding, walking, playing, cleaning, petting etc.

Maria was responsive and easy to communicate with. Daisy seemed happy with her and came home feeling calm! I will definitely re-book a stay with Maria.
