Pet care experience

Safe, Loving Care

I’m a biologist with experience in animal behavior, which helps me understand pets better, especially those who need a bit of extra care or patience. I have four cats and a dog back home in Colombia, and I love them deeply. Being away from them has made me really understand how difficult it is to trust someone else with your pets, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’ve fostered many animals and have rescued and helped rehabilitate stray cats and dogs in Colombia. These experiences have made me very patient because this kind of care truly requires it and genuinely empathetic to each animal’s personality and needs. I’ve also cared for my own pets through intensive treatments and recovery, so I’m familiar with the dedication and consistency needed for animals with medical conditions or long-term care. And beyond all that, I truly enjoy being around animals, playing with them, getting to know their personalities, and helping them feel safe, relaxed, and at home.

Maria looked after my cat very well, despite having to travel quite a long way. The communication with her was great. She fed him and cleaned the litter tray. Even though my cat is shy, she took the time to get him out of his hiding place and paid attention to him. I also received updates with photos and videos.

Safety, trust & environment

I keep things clean and consistent for them refreshing bowls, cleaning litter if needed, feeding, and giving medication when required. I spend time playing with them, but I’m also always paying attention to how they’re feeling and what they need.
