Safety, trust & environment

My goal is to give you peace of mind and good communication while I’m with your fur babies. Their safely and comfort is number one. I give all pets the attention and love that I think my own cats deserve :) I like sending updates with a photo because that’s something I really appreciate when I’m away from my cats. I prioritize a respect of people’s homes and making sure I clean up after myself. I will not take pets outside unless specifically asked to. I always check that doors are locked, lights are off, etc when I leave. However you usually care for your pets is how I will do it while you’re away; I want them to feel like their daily life hasn’t been disrupted.

Information Maya F. would like to know about your pet

Let me know what motivates your animals - food, attention, etc, and what makes them feel rewarded! I enjoy customizing my visits, whether that’s about energy levels, activity preference, or if you have a lap dog that just wants snuggles on the couch. I’d like to know your vet info, what they’re trained on, and if there’s anything specific you avoid with them.

A typical day

I like to make sure the animals I meet get what each individual one needs! If it’s a senior animal with limited activity levels, I’ll bring a puzzle game and give them some mental stimulation. If they’re active, we’ll play with toys and get that energy out! I will always pick up poop & scoop the litter boxes, give food & water.

Vet Tech with a flexible schedule!

Pet care experience

I’ve been a vet tech since 2020 and have experience working with dogs, cats, and exotics. Because of my veterinary background, I have experience with newborns to seniors, medicating animals, shy animals, and behavior animals. I’ve had a cat, dog, rabbit, guinea pig, turtle, and ferret in my home at some point and currently have four cats who I love so much. I’ve dog-walked for neighbors in middle school and high school and my favorite thing about taking care of pets is treating them with as much attention as I give my own :) Working as a vet tech really gives me an expertise in handling any and all dog & cat related health issues. I have the intangibles to handle animals that you might not realize you’re looking for but your pets will definitely notice and appreciate! *Fear Free Certified and have studied animal behavior and health for the last handful of years I also offer in-home vet care! Some examples of those services are nail trims, ear cleanings, basic grooming (e.g. brushing out or shaving matted fur), physical therapy, and animal cleanings. I also work with pet owners about ways to improve their pets’ lives! I have a million tips & tricks I’d love to show you. For example, great ways to comfortably restrain them for doing nail trims by yourself, helping you navigate a new health issue, or even how to get cats to stop throwing up their food! 😅

Maya did a wonderful job with our very senior dog. She took care of all his needs while we’re gone and even did a nail trim. Communication was great. Looking forward to having her help us out again.

Maya was a knowledgeable and reliable care-giver for our kitty when we left her for a weekend. She did a great job communicating with us and sending photos after each visit. We will definitely use Maya again when we need home catcare! Highly recommended!!

Maya did a great job with Sweetpea. Sweetpea is really shy and hides a lot but she was able to get him out of his hiding space and be comfortable.
