Maria was great! We have a cat, so doing a drop-in visit had simple protocol. Food, water, and possibly playtime if Hiei wasn't feeling too shy. Maria had a quick response time and ample availability for when we needed her. She was very sweet and patient, and even offered to stop by before we left on our trip for introductions and info. She also sent us a very cute photo of Hiei, which brightened our day. We knew that our kitty was in good hands. :)

I have never met someone as passionate about animals (and their welfare) as Maria is. We are close friends and volunteer together at a local animal shelter, and Maria always takes time to play with and socialize the dogs we walk. No dog is too intimidating! She is also incredibly responsible, especially in terms of animal welfare; I would trust any animal with her. Most of all, she loves animals and will spend as much time as she can playing with them and making them happy. She cares about every animal she meets, which makes her an invaluable pet sitter and walker!
