Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets by always making sure they have water, feeding them when needed, and letting them outside. I can also do cleaning of litter boxes and food/water dishes. I will take care of your pets like I’d take care of mine :)

Information Maya G. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the pet’s regular schedule and behaviors so I can make my time with them as smooth as possible. I would also like to know how I can best make your pet feel happy and comfortable as I know it can be hard having their owner not there:

A typical day

I love to do anything that’ll make pets happy and stimulated. For dogs, I can play tug a war or fetch, or take them to parks and on walks. For cats, I can play with them with their toys.

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Maya, I just graduated from the University of Iowa and have moved to the Des Moines area. I would love to take care of your pets for vacations, while you’re at work, etc!! My family has always had dogs and cats and I’ve also watched my neighbors dogs and cats for the past 6 years while they go on vacation and such. In addition, my sister has relied on me to take care of her dogs, including walking, feeding and bathing them! I am both a dog and cat person! I understand how stressful it can be to be away from your pet, so I will be sure to be communicative, send pictures, and follow instructions!

Maya did an amazing job with our anxious pup. We unexpectedly had new neighbors move in above us the day before our trip. Maya did a great job at communicating how peanut was doing with the adjustment during the visits and provided lots of great photos as well.
