Maria did okay with my cat Polly. Maria played with Polly and Polly seemed comfortable with her. Polly's food scoop was left in a different location than it started and her water bowls weren't refilled, which is why I docked a star. I would trust Maria to watch Polly again and improve.

Maria loves animals and always puts their needs first. She is a very down to earth person and college student who is trying to make it through her college years with some fur babies to keep her company!

Maria V. has such a natural way with animals—patient, loving, and attentive. She is responsible and reliable for every pet’s unique needs. She treats every pet like her own, making them feel safe and cared for. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just giving them extra affection, Maria goes above and beyond. I’d trust her with any pet, knowing they’ll be in good hands. I highly recommend Maria to anyone seeking a trustworthy and compassionate caregiver for their beloved pets.

Maria loves being surrounded by animals and has always been very kind and attentive to both family pets and other's that she'd been asked to pet sit for. I have two cats myself, that I not so secretly call my sons, and I'd 100% trust her to watch them! She takes pet care very seriously and will do an amazing job for you!
