Maria did a wonderful job taking care of my girl Birdie while I was away on vacation. My dog is a little wary of new people, but she took to Maria right away and the two of them became good buddies! I got lots of photos and updates of them playing and having fun, so I was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing that my dog was in good hands. Maria has a great personality and made me feel comfortable right from the start. I highly recommend her and will use her again!

I cannot give enough praise and good reviews for Maria! She was so wonderful taking care of our dog and our cats over the long holiday weekend. She was so attentive to our puppy and our cats, and sent us daily updates on each of them. She was also an extremely respectful house guest, leaving the house clean when she left. She was always easily reachable and immediately responsive to any of our messages. I am recommending Maria to all of my friends and family who have pets. She is a true pet lover and an experienced pet sitter! I give her 10/5 stars!! ✨

Shali was truly amazing. I will definitely be using her for pet sitting in the future. She was so sweet and attentive to our dog and our cats, and was so respectful of my space while she stayed at our house. She sent daily updates of our animals and was always quick to respond. I would recommend her over and over again and wish I could give her a 10⭐️ review!

Maria has been excellent in caring for my two kitties (one being full grown and the other still in kitten-cat transition). Always loving and willing to give extra time and attention as needed. Maria has always been on time and showing dedication towards the care of any animal in her care. Would definitely recommend!
