Safety, trust & environment

I’ve been caring for my own cat for the past five years, ever since she was a tiny kitten. I’ve always been the one feeding her, playing with her, keeping her routine comfortable, and making sure she feels safe and loved. Living with her taught me how important gentle, patient care is I would never hurt an animal or make them feel uncomfortable. Their wellbeing is always my priority. I also have some experience walking dogs for close family friends. I made sure their dogs always had safe walks, plenty of attention, and a calm, positive experience. Even though I’m still building my pet care experience, I’m very careful, observant, and follow all instructions to make sure each pet feels secure. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I focus on kindness, comfort, and creating a relaxed, happy environment for the pets I look after. I truly love spending time with animals playing, walking, or simply keeping them company. For me, it’s not just a job; it’s something that brings me joy. I treat every pet with the same gentleness and respect I give my own.

Information Mariia N. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know your pet’s usual routine, energy level, favorite activities, and anything they don’t like. Please also tell me about any health issues, medications, or special instructions so I can keep them safe and comfortable.

A typical day

Since I’m new to pet care, I focus on keeping things simple and comfortable: regular walks, feeding on schedule, gentle play, and making sure the pet feels calm and safe. I stay attentive and follow all instructions from the owner.

Animal Lover You Can Trust

Pet care experience

Hello,My name is Mariia, and I love spending time with furry friends. I enjoy making pets feel happy, safe, and loved. I’ve been taking care of my own cat for five years, feeding her, playing with her, keeping her routine, and making sure she feels safe and loved. I would never hurt an animal and always handle pets with gentleness and attention. I also have some experience walking dogs for family friends, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well-exercised. My skills include feeding, walking, playing, observing behavior, and following owner instructions carefully. Even as a beginner, my love for animals and dedication to their wellbeing sets me apart. I treat every pet as if they were my own and truly enjoy spending time with them, whether walking, playing, or simply keeping them company. I currently work part-time from Tuesday to Thursday until 3 PM, and after that I’m happy to walk dogs or spend time with pets. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I always focus on making every moment positive and fun for the animals I care for.

We have had Mariia take care of our cat twice now and she is so great with him! She sends updates and photos, and always let's us know if anything is off. I highly recommend her for taking care of your pets :-)
