Reviews


Maria took such good care of both my dogs! One is a senior and one is high energy so they have different needs and both were happy having Maria stay with them. Though not at all necessary, I think she even left our house cleaner than it was when she arrived. Maria was wonderful to take care of both my girls overnight for a few days in our house. She even sent a few photos each day - something I really looked forward to know everyone was happy!


Maria goes a wonderful job with our pets. Her communication is excellent and her sincere care for them is comforting while we are away. Maria is a gem and we are so happy to be able to rely on her!



Maria does a wonderful job caring for our home and animals while we’re away. She is conscientious and attentive to detail. We have a senior cat who takes medicine, a youthful exuberant extra large dog who wants lots of exercise and play time, and a new 10 week old kitten who extra needs care and supervision while being acclimated to her new home and other pets. Maria handled it all flawlessly, and we returned after 4 nights, 5 days to happy animals and an orderly tidy house. Maria is a very nice person and communication is always pleasant and easy. The only problem is that she’s so good she’s in high demand so sometimes she’s already booked. I consider myself very lucky when she’s available to pet sit for us! Bonus is that she’s a great photographer and sends us the most adorable pics of our pets. I highly recommend Maria.

Maria was professional, communicative and friendly. While I was away, she sent photos and updates of my pets but didn’t bombard me with unnecessary questions. When I returned home, I could tell my pets were well taken care of and the house was just as I left it, if not cleaner. I’d highly recommend Maria!
