Care for a pet as one’s own 🐾🐾

Unique qualities that set me apart from other sitters: Individualized Approach: I understand that each pet is unique. I can adapt to their needs, whether it’s a little one, a senior pet, or a pet with special requirements. Love and Care: I genuinely care for each pet as if they were my own. I’m ready to provide them with all the necessary care and attention. If you have any additional questions or requests, feel free to ask!

Mariia did an amazing job watching Bentley again! She was able to accommodate our last minute reservation and kept us updated throughout his stay with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. I could tell Bentley was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. Mariia also made sure he received all of his daily supplements and antibiotics exactly as instructed. It's clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. We absolutely love having Mariia care for Bentley when we're away and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring pet sitter!

She was amazing!!! She booked us last minute during a very stressful time and throughout the time she took care of my baby she communicated and sent multiple pictures and updates on how she was doing. Additionally, she was very open to work with us about the drop off a d pick up times. Knowing my dog, I bet my baby felt at home with Mariia.

Schedule

Daily Routine: Morning Walks and Feeding: I start the day with a brisk walk and feeding. This helps my pet get some energy and nourishment to kickstart the day. Playtime and Training: I incorporate time for play and training to keep my pet physically and mentally fit. Midday Breaks: If possible, I take a break during the day to let my pet out for a bathroom break and some fresh air. Evening Walks and Feeding: Another walk in the evening followed by dinner. This helps my pet burn off any excess energy and prepare for a restful night.

Safety, trust & environment

In My Home Comfortable Environment: I ensure my home is pet-friendly, with safe spaces for pets to explore and relax. Routine: I maintain a consistent routine for feeding, walking, and playtime to help pets feel secure and comfortable. Socialization: Pets have the opportunity to interact with other animals, which can be beneficial for their social skills. Monitoring: I keep a close eye on pets to ensure they are healthy and happy, addressing any issues promptly. In the Client’s Home Familiar Surroundings: Pets often feel more comfortable in their own home, so I follow their usual routines and habits. Personalized Care: I tailor my care to the specific needs and preferences of each pet, ensuring they receive the attention and care they are used to. Communication: I keep the pet owner updated with regular reports and photos, so they can feel reassured about their pet’s well-being. Safety and Security: I ensure the home is secure and that pets are safe, following any specific instructions provided by the owner.
