About Maricruz V.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Safety is super important to me (as it should be) because I understand you are entrusting me with basically your child. I am very attentive & vigilant. Always keeping an eye on your pet to make sure they are safe, and they’re surroundings are safe for them.
Information Maricruz V. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if there are any special needs or behaviors that I should be aware of beforehand & I will have this in mind to help make sure your pet is taken care of how you would expect. Thank you! :)
A typical day
Dogs: I would love to take your dog on a nice walk in your neighborhood or wherever they usually like to go on walks to. I can play fetch with them. Do some simple training for more enrichment. If you have toys or games they like, that would be included in playtime too. Cats: I can play with them by using any toys they like, or games they have at home. It’s a lot of fun to see cats & dogs get into playing. I would love the opportunity to play with your pet.

Trusted Care for Your Furbabies
Pet care experience
I have over 6 years of experience as a cat & dog owner. Raised my own dog from a puppy (she’s now a happy 3-year-old Corgi!) and cared for two cats for several years also. I’m well versed in everything from high energy puppy play to the quiet, patient approach many cats prefer. I also have experience fostering dogs with complex behavioral needs, like those struggling with 'stranger danger' and anxiety. I know that building trust takes time & a calm presence. I take care of mine, and others’ furbabies as if they were my own children.

Reviews
Maricruz did an excellent job catsitting Sassy! Got regular updates, plenty of photos, and came back to a pristine place and a happy cat.
Maricruz did an incredible job checking in on my furbaby. She was so gentle, sweet, and clearly cared a lot about making sure my “Buddy” was comfortable and well looked after. He is 15 years old so I get really nervous leaving him but her communication was fantastic, and the updates made me feel so reassured. I’m very grateful for the care she gave and would happily trust her again. Buddy seconds that! :)
Maricruz was absolutely wonderful with my two cats! She did a fantastic job managing their very different personalities and specific routines. One of my cats was all about playtime and cuddles with her, while my other cat hid the entire time and refused to eat out of anxiety. Maricruz was incredibly attentive and understanding—she patiently tried every trick I suggested to gently lure my skittish cat into eating. I felt so comforted knowing they were in such caring, capable hands. Highly recommend!
Maricruz was amazing! She took fantastic care of my two free-roam bunnies. One of my bunnies is really shy, but he immediately felt safe around her and connected with her. Maricruz sent lots of photos and great updates, which made me feel totally at ease while I was away. She kept everything so tidy and clean. I highly recommend Maricruz!
