Lover of fuzz

Pet care experience

Hi! I am a gentle and loving human looking to help with some fur babies. I’ve grown up around lots of different animals from dogs and cats, to fish and guinea pigs- even squirrels. I love them all and will care for them like my own. I don’t think any animals should go lonely while their owner is away. With each service I’ll make sure to hang out with your pet for awhile to make sure they are getting the attention they need. I’m very detail oriented and will have no problem following any special feeding guidelines or even their favorite procedures when going for walks, or anything of that sort. Each animal is different and special. I look forward to helping them with their needs while also letting you feel safe and secure taking care of what you need. I also love to take and send photos of our adventures while I take care of them. Please let me know how I can help, in any way!

Maria R. cared for my dog Haze for many years. She loves all animals very much. She was always there when I needed her and Haze adored her. She would accompany him to the vet and give him baths.

Safety, trust & environment

I always treat animals as if they are my own. I believe all animals deserve love and respect. They deserve to feel safe especially when their owners cannot be around. I am here to fill in for owners the best way possible.

Information Maria R. would like to know about your pet

Before pet sitting I would like to know if they have any allergies or special needs. Just to make sure that I give them the best care possible.

A typical day

I love to customize each pet sit to the specific animal. Before I have the chance to hang out with your animal, I like to go over what they enjoy doing most in the day. Whether that be throwing balls for fetch, going to dog parks, or even just receiving lots of belly rubs on the couch; I always aim to keep schedules as close as they can be to provide similar routine that you would do with your animal. My wish is to make them as happy as they can be while you’re away!
