Hi! My name is Maria Vazquez and I LOVE animals. I am not just saying that just so you hire me, haha. I really do. I have 1 small dog and 5 rescued cats. I just love rescuing. But don’t worry! They are all friendly and they all have their own space. Cleo 🐶, 14, loves to play ball. Fifi 🐈⬛, 16, likes to sleep. Vecino 🐈⬛, 8, likes to gossip. Millie 🐈⬛, 3, likes to stretch. Gorris 🐈⬛, 3, likes to hide. Piyin 🐈, 2, likes to fish. I live with my mom and my sisters, so there’s always someone taking care of our pets (no one is ignored). I live in a pretty awesome farm house with a huge front yard for playing ball and growing chickens. Super awesome Catio coming soon! I definitely know my home is a safe space to any pet that walks through my door. I also can take in cats! I love cats! I look forward to meeting you and your pet. Woof! Meow!

Ratings and reviews
Maria took great care of my dog. I am very happy and grateful to have found Maria. I continue to book with her.
Maria & family are wonderful! She has been my go-to catsitter now for several years. Caring, kind, they love my cat, alert me to any issues immediately, excellent communication, accommodating & super easy to work with. I have a finicky old "Garfield." Any travel or routine change totally messes him up. He'll either puke everything up or won't eat at all. Maria works with him, often offering other food options, to help him along with the temporary stay. He's back home now & happy as any phat cat can be! Maria & her family are awesome & I highly recommend!
Marvia did a great job watching our boy! We will be booking again with her in the future.
Maria and her family took such good care of our baby girl Cardi. I'm so happy to have found them! Thank you for everything.
Maria and her family always take excellent care of my dog, Milo. She keeps me updated with pictures and videos of him playing, which I truly appreciate. I always feel at ease knowing he’s in such good hands. I will definitely continue booking with Maria!
My dog had a great time, we were very nervous for it being our first time leaving our dog, and Maria made us feel comfortable and reassured us that our dog would be fine, he was. Thank you Maria and your mom!

Schedule
My family and I are a team effort. We all take care of our guests. If someone is busy at work or running errands, the other person is attending our guests. Usually my mom walks them in the morning and I in the afternoon, together at night. We go up the hill because it’s great exercise for pups! Takes all their energy to get to the top. By the time we get back time they’re wiped out LOL.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Each of my pets have their own room, and when we have guests we introduced them one by one. I also set up our guests in the living room or a specific bedroom, it all depends on whom they attach to. I do not have a fence yet, but I walk my guests on leash around the property and neighborhood (we live in a low traffic area). All pets are being taken care of by at least one person in my house. No one is left alone.
Pets
A typical day
If you choose me to take care of your pet, then you’ll be getting this: - 2-3 Walks a Day! My sisters usually help with this so we are EXTRA careful (if they have to go out an extra time, SURE!). - 2 Meals a Day! The morning meal is usually a light one and the night meal is the nice one. If you’d like me to feed your dogs once or more, that’s okay too. ** I do not carry wet/dry (can) dog food. My dog is allergic to dog food. I cook for her days in advanced. If you’d like me to reheat precooked meals, I’d be happy to. If you’d like me to cook for your dog, let me know in advance so I can adjust the pricing. I apologize for any inconvenience this may bring. - Ball Playing! I play ball with my dogs 30mins- 1hr in the front yard multiple times during the day. It’s a safe space, well trained dogs. I do not have a fence yet but coming soon. For other dogs we would go to the doggy park or play with leash on. - EXTRA Beds! If you forget your pet’s bed, don’t worry! We have one. - LOTS of Water! - LOTS of Treats! I usually treat my dogs with fruit. Especially seedless watermelon! ** If your dog has fruit allergies, please let me know as soon as possible! I am very careful when it comes to choosing the types fruits dogs can eat. There are NO grapes in this house! - LOTS of Updates! You will not have to worry about your pet! We can FaceTime too, if you would like :) - LOTS of Belly Rubs! - LOTS of Love!
