Safety, trust & environment

When visiting your home, I prioritize safety above all else. I ensure all gates and doors are securely closed, follow your specific feeding and medication instructions precisely, and maintain a calm, stress-free environment for your pet. I treat your home and your furry family member with the utmost respect, care, and cleanliness at all times.

Information Maria R. would like to know about your pet

To provide the best care, please let me know about any medical needs, specific dietary restrictions, or allergies. Additionally, it is helpful to know about their temperament with other animals, any triggers that cause anxiety, and their favorite hiding spots or toys. The more I know about their habits and personality, the better I can make them feel at home!

A typical day

A typical day depends on the pet’s personality! For dogs, I enjoy energetic walks, playing fetch in the yard, and rewarding them with plenty of affection. For cats, I provide dedicated playtime with interactive toys and ensure they are comfortable and fed. I focus on engaging activities that match your pet's energy level and help them feel happy and secure while you are away.

Active & Gentle Pet Care

Pet care experience

What sets me apart is my ability to quickly bond with pets while maintaining a strict, reliable routine. I have the high energy needed for puppy training and socialization, helping them learn basic commands while burning off their playful energy. Conversely, I have a gentle, patient touch for senior pet care, ensuring older companions receive the slow-paced walks, and extra comfort. I am highly observant and detail-oriented, meaning I am quick to notice if a pet’s behavior or appetite changes. My goal is to provide more than just a service; I provide peace of mind by treating every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s following complex feeding schedules or providing specialized care for older dogs or energetic puppies, I am dedicated to keeping your furry friend safe, engaged, and well-loved while you are away.

Maria was wonderful with my dog. She got to go on a daily adventure for her walks, communicated and sent pictures, and treated her like she was her own pet. Will definitely be using her again.

Maria Cidalia is a very caring person that I not only trust with my pets but also my kids as well. She has a big heart loving all creatures. She is responsible, will follow what the owner/s ask and will give your pets extra love and care.
