I’m currently a college student, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of free time throughout the week. I’m able to plan my days around pet care, making sure each pet gets the time, attention, and consistency they need. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m available and fully present to make them feel comfortable and cared for.

I make sure every pet is in a safe, clean, and stress free environment at all times. I don’t have any pets of my own, so your pet gets my full attention. I do occasionally care for my aunt’s poodle, so I’ve made sure my apartment is completely pet friendly and safe. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully to keep their pet’s routine consistent and comfortable.

Your Pet’s Safe & Loving Care

Pet care experience

Caring for animals has always been something I genuinely love. I’ve been pet sitting for over 8 years, starting with my aunt’s poodle, and it quickly became something I truly enjoy. I’m very patient, attentive, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I have experience with different personalities, from energetic puppies to older pets that need extra care and gentleness. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved at all times.

Maria is a truly loving and dependable pet caregiver. Whenever I need help, she takes wonderful care of Bella, my Maltese, who requires special attention. Maria is very careful with Bella’s medication three times a day, her feeding schedule, and overall comfort. She genuinely loves pets, and it shows in the patience, care, and affection she gives. I always feel at ease knowing Bella is in such good hands.

Majo P. took amazing care of my golden retriever, Cooper. Goldens are already easy, friendly dogs, but I’ve never seen Cooper not want to leave his sitter until now he clearly loved being with her. That alone says everything. She’s super attentive, keeps you updated, and you can tell she genuinely enjoys what she does. I’d trust her with Cooper anytime.

tiff can’t recommend Majo P. enough. From the moment you meet her, it’s clear they genuinely care not just about pets, but about the people who trust them too. She's incredibly attentive, patient, and detail oriented, always making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Majo has cared for my pets, and I’ve always felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. She goes above and beyond with updates, communication, and little thoughtful touches that really show how much they care. It’s rare to find someone who combines such a warm, compassionate personality with true professionalism. What makes Majo an awesome human being is her consistency, kindness, and the way she treats every animal like family. You can tell this isn’t just a job for her it’s something she genuinely loves doing.
