Availability

Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work remotely two days a week, which allows me to be present, attentive, and flexible with feeding schedules, medications, playtime, and companionship. With my kids grown and out of the house, I truly enjoy the comfort and connection animals bring to my day. Having pets around adds purpose, routine, and warmth to my home, and I value the quiet companionship as much as they do.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets by following their established routines as closely as possible, whether in my home or in a client's home. I focus on consistency, cleanliness, and calm interactions to reduce stress. I take breaks for walks, playtime, and quiet companionship. I pay close attention to behavior and appetite, communicate updates to owners, and treat each home and pet with respect. My goal is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away.

Cat Lover & Attentive Pet Sitter

Cat care experience

What sets me apart as a cat sitter is the level of care and respect I give to each cat’s routine, comfort, and personality. As a registered nurse, I’m calm, detail-oriented, and experienced with administering medications, monitoring subtle changes in behavior, and following precise care instructions. I currently have three cats of my own, so I understand how important clean litter boxes are—not just for hygiene, but for a cat’s health and happiness. I take pride creating a low-stress environment, providing cuddles and affection. I genuinely love cats, notice the small things, and treat every home and pet as if they were my own.

Maria was wonderful with my 8 year old Beagle. She kept in touch and sent multiple updates during the stay. 10/10 will book again!
