I’ll be with your pets the entire time to ensure they are safe and well-cared for. I avoid keeping plants at home since some can be toxic to cats. I always provide fresh water, with a separate fountain for cats and another for dogs. For dogs, I take them out for walks 3 times a day.

Pet care experience

Hi there! It’s a pleasure to have you consider me to care for your furry family member. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I’m here to ensure they feel loved and cared for every step of the way. ❤️ My experience with cats and dogs dates back to my earliest memories. My mom always encouraged me to be close to them and recognize them as members of our family. 👩🐶 I’ve been caring for cats and dogs since I was young, so I fully understand the needs and responsibilities that come with being a pet owner, along with the worry of being apart from them. 🐱🐶 I have two pets—a dog and a cat. My dog is 13 years old, so I understand the specific needs of senior dogs and how to provide the best care. My cat, who is dog-friendly, is full of energy because he’s just 2 years old. 😺 I’m a computer engineer who works from home with my husband, so your pet will have company 24/7. As engineers, our home is always quiet and peaceful. 😌

Maria was fantastic. I highly recommend her to anyone considering the service for a pet. My cat came home well loved and happy. Thank you, Maria!

Maria took great care of our dog. She maintained her regular walks and feeding schedules. As well she excelled in communicating Fleurie’s daily activities through text, photo and video. I would highly recommend her to any future clients.
