Pet care experience

Dedicated to your pets care

I’m a trusted pet caretaker. I’m an expert dog walker and house sitter, who truly enjoys the company of animals. I’m especially fond of Dogs. My dog is Gracie, my cats are Hilja, Nero, Iris and Millie. Recently moved from Mariposa California to Brunswick Maine. We have a full house, however, enjoy each one of them fully. Our dog Gracie is great, she has quickly adjusted to her new home. She does have a two to three days a week weather permitting, hiking outdoors with her for eight to ten miles. Our cats enjoy playing chase indoors and outdoors, they love watching the many hundreds of birds that are around here. They keep themselves well entertained until night time. At night, they are very eager to play indoors and eat. They come in for the night to snuggle in their cat bed. I love my pets. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your beloved pets, as well. Thank you for trusting me with their care.

Safety, trust & environment

I currently have a large backyard, no fencing around it. However, I have a large spare room and a large basement where my cats play chase and climb on their tree scratching post. Lots of room inside for Gracie and friends to play. I will always walk your dog on leash and keep the leash on to transfer your beloved dog in and outside. Their safety is my biggest priority.

Maricela is a very kind and gentle person who is fabulous with our older dogs. We are grateful to have found her to spend time with them while we’re away.

Maricela is a warm intuitive pet sitter. My shy cats both exhibited comfortable behavior under her care. She is a great with communication and I would surely ask her to pet sit again!

We had a wonderful experience with our pet sitter. She was incredibly kind, thoughtful, and easy to communicate with the entire time we were away. She sent lots of photos and regular updates, which gave us great peace of mind knowing our pets were happy and well cared for. She was an absolute champion when we had an unexpected power outage while we were gone. She went above and beyond by helping reboot our saltwater fish tank system so everything stayed running and we didn’t have to cut our trip short to come home. That kind of help meant so much to us. She was very responsive, reliable, and clearly cared about the animals. We’re so grateful for her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.

Always so great with our animals. Lots of glamor pics and always makes sure our dogs have a walk as long as it is weather appropriate. Can not thank her enough for coming through.

Does it enjoy on leash or off leash walks, I love having the dogs run free if they are safe playing off leash. Walking by a creek side, or finding the right pet friendly place. Is it friendly to anyone? What startles it when walking? Bikes, buses, skateboards or any other loud noises? Are there any specific dietary needs that I should be aware of providing for your pets. Are there any necessary medications? Does it do well in a pack? How long are it’s typical walks? Does it respond to commands well? How can I make this the best experience ever for your pet?
