Pet care experience

Grateful for all of nature.

I’ve always had dogs and cats growing up. All have been taken care of from 2 months and onwards! I find joy in connecting with animals and serving them - as they have served my life in beautiful ways by just expressing their unconditional love and gratitude with their movements and actions rather than words. It is an gift to be loved by these beautiful creatures daily.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I make sure that they are walked, legs stretched, bowels taken care of, fed, played with and loved. Following the rules as listed by the parent. Mindful of the surrounding environment and respectful of what is needed of me.

Maria was very helpful and flexible with our anxious pup. She was able to manage our dogs initial discomfort and create solid rapport with Ella at her own time. We are so appreciative of her hard work and kindness! We highly recommend!

Maria is great! My pup, Symone, loved her immediately and I could tell from all the pics how happy she was with Maria ❤️ it made me feel so relieved to know my pets were in good hands! Will book again!

Can't recommend Maria enough as a pet caregiver! She has the sweetest personality and my dog loves her. She's punctual, fun, and I highly recommend her for dogs of any size and age!
