Pet care experience

Trustworthy, Loving, Warm Energy

What sets me apart is the genuine love and connection I have with animals. I’ve cared for many of my friends’ pets over the years—dogs and cats, and I naturally bond with them. They tend to feel calm and happy around me. I have experience with both playful puppies and sweet senior pets, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained. Whether it’s long walks, gentle care, or lots of cuddles, I adapt to each pet’s personality and needs.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every pet like part of the family when caring for them in their own home. I make sure their environment stays calm, safe, and comfortable, following all instructions from the pet parents carefully—feeding schedules, favorite toys, and any special needs. I’m respectful of the home, keep everything tidy, and prioritize the pet’s comfort and security. I also provide regular updates to build trust and keep owners at ease while they’re away.

Maria is a caring, big hearted young lady. My cat loves her a lot . It was very comforting knowing that my little one was in such good hands. I would hire her again and recommend her highly. Be careful your pet isn’t going to miss you.

Maria is a wonderful pet caregiver and person!! She has a natural gift with animals. She loves them deeply and they love her back. She is super responsible and attentive to any needs your pet might have and will find the best and most careful way to take care of them. I will have her take care of my cat without thinking twice! Definitely recommend her!

Schedule

et care fits into my routine naturally—it’s something I truly enjoy! Even though I work full-time, I have a hybrid schedule and work from home three days a week, which gives me the flexibility to care for pets with lots of attention and love. I’m also off on weekends and finish work early on Fridays, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to walks, playtime, and cuddles. Taking care of animals truly brings me joy—it’s one of the highlights of my week!

I always appreciate as much information as possible before caring for your pet! Please let me know about any special needs, medical conditions, allergies, or behavioral quirks your pet might have. It’s also helpful to know their routines, favorite toys, how they usually behave with new people, and anything else that makes them feel safe and happy. The more I know, the better I can care for them just the way they need!
