Pet care experience

Safe, Fun & Loving Pet Care

Over the past four years, I’ve cared for both cats and dogs for friends and family. I regularly pet sit my best friend’s two senior cats who need extra attention and gentle care, as well as my brother in law’s energetic one year old puppy and cat. I’m comfortable handling pets of all ages and personalities, making sure each one feels loved and well cared for.

We've had Maria look after our cats on two occasions now and she has done an excellent job each time!

Maria is so great to work with. It’s no wonder she has so many repeat clients in Rover!

Maria takes great care of both my dogs every time! She is always available when needed and extremely responsive. She also sends the cutest pics of the dogs when I’m away!

Maria takes great care of both of my dogs, and they can be a handful! She is reliable and I can tell from her frequent picture updates that my dogs really enjoy her!

Maria went above and beyond when cat sitting for me while I was out of town. She kept great communication with me for the entire 11 days that I was gone. She sent so many pictures, videos and updates which made me feel so at ease. She is very thorough and attentive during the drop in visits. My cats adored her, even my skittish kitten was playing with her and sitting in her lap after just a couple of days. I cannot recommend Maria enough and will absolutely be using her services again in the future.

Schedule

I work full time from home in a call center, so while I’m tied to my desk during the day, I’m available for early morning and evening walks for drop-ins. On Thursdays, my schedule is shorter (12:30–4:30 PM), and I’m fully available on weekends. Working from home allows me to keep a close eye on pets staying with me, giving them comfort and companionship throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a clean, pet friendly, two bedroom apartment with a back patio and plenty of space for pets to relax. I take dogs on walks throughout my neighborhood for exercise and fresh air. The back patio is great for supervised outdoor time, but pets are never left outside unattended. I make sure each animal feels comfortable, safe, and cared for at all times.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day includes morning snuggles, feeding, and fresh water, followed by neighborhood walks or playtime. I work from home, so pets get plenty of attention and comfort throughout the day. In the evenings, we unwind with more play, cuddles, quiet time and a walk before bed.

It’s helpful to know your pet’s daily routine, energy level, and any special needs or quirks. Please share feeding times, medications, or triggers (like loud noises or other animals) so I can keep them safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.
