Pet care experience

Caring for animals feel natural to me and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality, quirks, and routines. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages and sizes, from energetic puppies to adults. As a dog mom myself, I’m comfortable with crate training, reinforcing basic commands, administering medications, and following special diets or care instructions. I pay close attention to body language and behavior so pets can feel safe and comfortable while in my care. I’m a full-time online student and stay-at-home mom, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and spend plenty of quality time with the pets I care for. My two daughters absolutely adore animals and love helping give them attention and affection, while also understanding that some pets need space and quiet time. I’ll do my best to make them feel right at home. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away.

Maritza was wonderful and gave me daily updates and photos of Otis. Her two young daughters were also pictured with Otis and they were loving towards him. Otis appeared content and happy. I would definitely recommend Maritza as a loving and caring pet sitter. I will consider her as my first choice in the future.

Maritza and her family were amazing with my fur baby. It was very short notice, same day, that I needed to find a sitter for a week long trip. I met with her and her pup Ozzy. They seemed to get along, Ozzy a bigger pup than my Daisy was very gentle. Daisy loved the family, playing with the littles and snuggling in between at night. Daisy will definitely be visiting again. Daisy was taken care of, loved and spoiled. I felt very comfortable and at ease leaving her. I would recommend Maritza to anyone especially those who might be a first time using a sitter.

I’ve known Martiza for years, and one thing I can say is she’s one of the most dependable and caring people I know. She helped me with my business as my social media admin, and I could always count on her to be responsible, organized, and thoughtful. When it comes to pets, she’s just as reliable, she truly loves animals and treats them like family. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and kind to watch over your pups, I couldn’t recommend her more!
