Safety, trust & environment

I like to care for pets by following their established routine. Dogs for example, whether that’s taking regular short - long walks, playtime, time off lead, having the occasional treat, staying on the lead, socialising with other dogs or watching TV at home, having a healthy amount of meals and having plenty of cuddles!

Information Maya J. would like to know about your pet

If you can let me know what your dog’s or cat’s needs are such as if they like company at night aka sleeping in the bed, if there’s anything that sets them on edge, like skateboards or anything, if they need me to administer medication, if they are good around other amimals or people or not and how much and how often they need to eat, I would really appreciate that!

A typical day

I love to take dogs on adventures but also have quiet times depending on what they need. From exploring their favourite spots in the park to having cuddles while watching TV. Same goes for cats. Letting them be themselves and hanging out with me while I work, or playing with them when they’re feeling active!

Pet care experience

I'm a clean, tidy, considerate person who has taken care of pets in other people's homes ever since I was little. Dogs are very good for my mental health and I really enjoy being in the company of cats too. My ex-boyfriends have always had dogs which I have enjoyed looking after when we’ve been together (and been very sad to leave!). My cat Crazy Bob sadly passed away when I was 19, and my current landlord doesn’t allow pets - plus every housemate I’ve had since graduating uni is allergic to cats - so I can’t have them in my own home. Therefore this is the best way for me to have quality time with animals. I am very happy to send daily photo and video updates as I know how hard it is when you are missing your best friends!

Maya is the most helpful, responsible, self-sufficient and tidy pet sitter you can hope for, but most importantly, she loves and cares for animals. We went camping and returned to happy pets, a clean and tidy home. Maya arranged her travel plans so she could meet us before we left, which was so important as we went off the grid for 2.5 days. Thank you Maya!

Maya is a truly responsible and loving pet caregiver. She goes above and beyond to make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for, whether it’s walks, playtime, or snuggles. You can tell she genuinely loves animals, and my pets always get so excited when they see her. I have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in Maya’s hands. She is dependable, kind, and treats every pet like family—I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Maya was really friendly warm and kind. My “Bernie” is a choc lab, only 2 years old. Maya took him on walks everyday and as requested sent through pics. Maya also watered my plants and left my home clean and respectable. Would use her again as Bernie was just as healthy and happy as he was upon return.

I would be more than happy to recommend Maya’s cat sitting services to anyone after the numerous occasions she looked after our cat, Bob. I often would come back to find him snuggled up on her lap, obviously feeling safe and happy, when he would rarely sit on anyone other than me. I also appreciate that she was always on time and organised and looked after our house and left it clean and tidy. I have complete confidence in leaving her to look after both our house and cat and would recommend her to anyone who needs the same service.
