Your Pet’s New Best Friend
With years of experience caring for both small, brachycephalic breeds like pugs and larger breeds such as the South African Boerboel, I understand the unique needs of a variety of dogs. I’m familiar with the special care required for flat-faced breeds and have hands-on experience handling and training big dogs. Whether it’s administering medications, keeping a watchful eye on breathing issues, or working on basic commands, your pet will be in reliable, experienced hands.

Ratings and reviews
Mariia was so helpful walking Moozie during a chaotic time in our family’s life. She was flexible and communicative. She was also very tolerant of Moozies greetings - jumping. Would recommend!
Really helpful! Made a last minute/same day booking work out and dealt with some navigation issues finding us. Very communicative and took great care of Teddy!
Mariia is wonderful and so great with our cats! She always send multiple photos and even videos after every visit, it’s comforting to know they’re well looked after.
Mariia crushed it! My cat loved her and she brought him lots of love while I was gone. Thank you!
Thank you for helping my pups while I was gone 💕🐶
Maria was incredible. She took fabulous care of our two kitties and home during our week away. Great communication, great photos, and just generally a great human. We would HIGHLY recommend Maria to anyone in need of a pet sitter.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
To care for pets in my home or a client's home, I tailor my services to the specific needs of each pet, whether it's daily visits, overnight stays, or extended care. Here's how I approach it: Caring for Pets in “My Home”: 1. **Comfortable Environment**: I ensure a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of room for them to play, relax, and feel at ease. 2. **Routine**: I stick to their normal routines for feeding, exercise, and any medication needs, reducing stress from being away from their usual surroundings. 3. **Supervision**: Your pet will never be left unattended for long. I provide plenty of attention, interaction, and supervision to make them feel secure. 4. **Playtime & Enrichment**: Whether it's a game of fetch or interactive play with toys, I keep pets engaged and active during their stay. 5. **Specialized Care**: For pets like brachycephalics (pugs) or larger breeds (Boerboels), I ensure a comfortable environment, watching for breathing issues or providing appropriate exercise. Caring for Pets in “Your Home”: 1. **Routine & Familiarity**: I maintain your pet’s regular schedule in the comfort of their familiar environment, from feeding times to walks and potty breaks. 2. **Respecting Your Home**: While caring for your pet, I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping everything tidy and secure. 3. **Tailored Attention**: Whether it’s special needs, like medication or extra playtime, I adjust my approach based on your pet’s personality and requirements. 4. **Communication**: I provide regular updates, photos, and messages to keep you informed about your pet’s well-being. In both cases, I offer basic training if needed, following your pet's current progress in commands or reinforcing positive behaviors. Each visit or stay is focused on keeping your pet healthy, happy, and comfortable.

A typical day
Since I have a strong background with both dogs and cats, I can offer plenty of enjoyable activities when watching them! Here are some fun ideas: For Dogs: 1. **Training Sessions**: Use my training skills to reinforce basic commands, while making it fun with treats and praise. I could introduce new tricks or refine old ones. 2. **Outdoor Adventures**: Depending on the dog’s size and energy, go for walks or hikes. For pugs or other brachycephalic dogs, shorter, relaxed strolls are best, while larger dogs may enjoy more vigorous exercise. 3. **Interactive Play**: Use toys like fetch balls, tug ropes, or puzzles to mentally and physically engage the dog. 4. **Cuddles and Relaxation**: Dogs often love to cuddle, so some cozy downtime is always appreciated. For Cats: 1. **Interactive Play with Toys**: Use feather wands, laser pointers, or toys that mimic prey to engage their natural hunting instincts. 2. **Exploration Games**: Create mini obstacle courses or hide treats and toys around the house to encourage them to explore and be curious. 3. **Climbing and Perching**: Cats love high places, so I could guide them to safe climbing areas or provide a window perch for them to watch the world outside. 4. **Cuddle Time**: Many cats enjoy simply sitting with their human for some quiet bonding time. I can always tailor the activities to each pet's personality and preferences!
