Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog Person Turned Cat Owner!
I have one pet, and I am an aunt to many others! I am no stranger to unique dietary needs (food allergies arose for both my current cat and my former dog). I have cared for highly energetic dogs, small sweet senior dogs, social playful cats, shy cats… I’ve even looked after Guinea pigs and a gerbil. I look forward to meeting your pet, no matter what age or energy level!

Safety, trust & environment
I let pets take the lead on how social they would like to be. My cat tends toward shyness and does not appreciate uninvited touching, while my friend’s dog prefers engaged playtimes with my full attention. I respect pets’ comfort level as well as their routines—if your dog has a very strange or specific release word at mealtime… if your cat demands a particular treat at a particular time of night… let me know, I’ll accommodate!
Ratings and reviews
We needed a last minute sitter for a couple drop in’s. I feel so lucky we found Maura! Her demeanor is so calm and kind. Our dogs easily took to her! You can tell she has a genuine love for animals. It’s hard to trust anyone with our pups (they are literally our children!), but I would use Maura again easily! Thanks for the great care!
Maura took care of my dog (Brisket) for 6 days while we were out of the country. It’s my first time leaving my dog for more than a day and I was really unsure and scared but I felt completely at ease because of her. Maura is attentive, reliable, caring, sends pictures and updates, plays with him, takes him to the dog park, and follows all the instructions. Brisket is really happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend her! And would definitely trust her to watch Brisket again! Very very grateful for all the love and care she gave to Brisket :)
Maura, thank you for taking care of Murphy overnight. We knew he was in great hands with your care. We appreciate the photo updated so much! We will be in touch again!
Maura was great looking after my two cats. Will definitely use her again!
Maura was great with our two cats. She was responsive, on time, and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend
She was great, on time and Milo loved her.
