Loving Care When You Can’t Be there

Hi! My name is Maria Camila, and caring for animals isn’t just something I do it’s who I am. Animals have been part of my life since I was a baby, being born into an animal loving family, I was three when I helped care for my first dog. I’ve been surrounded by animals of all kinds and have made it my mission to give every pet the love, patience, and care they deserve. Growing up in a military family gave me the incredible privilege of working with special operations canines, doing things like feeding them, walking them, and playing with them. This gave me hands on experience to learn a lot about taking care of our furry friends. I grew up having a really profound connection to animals and I did volunteering at animal shelters like the Humane Society, helping socialize the animals, trying to find them forever homes, walking, feeding, potty training and administering medicine they might need, like antibiotics or pills or maybe helping them recover after having major surgery. I have experience in taking care of puppies and senior pets, of all species and ages. My family and I have rehabilitated a lot of injured wildlife ( turtles and eagles and even squirrels) I have helped many puppies and kittens grow up happy and healthy. I’ve taken care of everything from lizards to chickens, to horses, and of course, a lot of dogs and cats :) Over the years, I have been a pet sitter caring for families beloved pets, I give each animal my full attention and care while their family is away. Me and the pets always had a wonderful time together, I’m always just happy to spend time with any animal. Animals seem to sense how much I care about them, I’ve been told many times that even the shyest pets warm up to me quickly. I believe that’s because animals can feel how much I genuinely love and care for them, and how I want better for them in this world, they don’t get half the love and recognition they deserve, after all pets are our bonus family members. When you trust me to care for your pet, you can be sure they’ll be treated like family with love, patience, playtime, and excellent care tailored to their needs. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or anything in between, I bring years of hands on experience and a heart full of love and kindness to every animal I meet.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I pay attention to detail, I feed them, walk them make sure their needs are met, always use a leash when walking, make sure they have their water, I make sure they’re eating, I clean up after them if they go potty. I really just shower the pets with love and affection that’s if the pet is okay with that :) I just watch the pet like they’re my child making sure they seem happy and are cared after while their family is gone.

Maria was great with our two dogs. She sent us pictures, and communicated frequently with any questions she might’ve had. She got along great with the dogs and we would definitely consider her for the future.

Finding someone you can truly trust with your beloved pet is priceless, and we feel so grateful to have found that in Maria. She is trustworthy, compassionate, reliable, respectful, and went above and beyond to make sure both Chico and I felt comfortable throughout the entire experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Maria to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pet with the same love and attention they would give their own. We will absolutely be booking with her again. Thank you Maria for taking such amazing care of our sweet Chico!
