Maria was absolutely wonderful with my 10-year-old cat. Anyone with a senior cat knows they can be set in their ways and wary of new people, so I was a little nervous about leaving him with a sitter. I had nothing to worry about. Maria was patient, gentle, and genuinely caring from the very first visit. By the time I came home, my cat was actually seeking her out for attention — something he rarely does with anyone outside the family. She sent me updates and photos that put my mind completely at ease while I was away. I could tell she truly loves animals, and it shows in how she treats them. I wouldn't trust my cat with just anyone, but Maria earned that trust quickly. Highly recommend her to any pet parent looking for someone reliable and loving.
