Pet care experience
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!

Reviews
I did not want to put my dogs in a kennel and was looking for a quiet home for the dogs to stay. Maria provided the perfect place for them. A quiet home on a dead end street where they were given long walks and personal attention during their stay. Maria provided video and pictures to us during their stay. I plan on using Maria again on our next vacation and would recommend her.
Maria was great with Tessa!
Maria was a great sitter! She was communicative and sent us updates on how our cat was doing. I will definitely be booking with her again!
I’m so grateful that Maria was able to board my two dogs and my cat while I was spending a weekend nearby with a group of friends. She was very thorough in asking questions about food allergies (she gives her dogs watermelon snacks!), and confirming that they were all up to date with their rabies shots and flea/tick preventative. They were all very comfortable and.content when I picked them up, I will definitely you her again!

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.
Home
Information Maria V. would like to know about your pet
Since I have other pets at home. I would need to know the following: - Are they on tick medication? - Are they sick? - Do they have their Rabies shot? - Any food allergies? (My dog Kookie has) - Do they get along with cats? other dogs? (it’s okay if they don't, I would just need to take extra precautions!) - What is your pet's preference, does she/he like to hang with the crowd or be given a safe space for him/herself? (I'd like to prevent any disputes from a curious cat/dog sticking their nose where they shouldn't)
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!

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.
