Safety, trust & environment

When caring for your pets in your home I will work to do my best to keep to their typical daily routine and abide by the rules of the home (such as whether or not they are allowed on furniture).

Information Maya Z. would like to know about your pet

I have a joint disorder so, please let me know if you have a large dog that tends to jump on people or pulls when on leash. I always want to make sure that your dog finds the very best fit when it comes to a sitter even if that means it isn't me.

A typical day

During my visit I am happy to stay home and play with your dog inside or in your yard or take your pup for a fun walk around the neighborhood!

Putting the Care in Pet Care

Pet care experience

I have been a dog owner for 15 years and have owned multiple senior dogs so I am comfortable administering medications and dealing with special needs. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes and will treat each and every one like family. Depending on the size and location of the dog I am willing to give baths as well as the usual food, water, walks, and lots and lots of belly rubs and cuddles. Several years ago I took in a stray cat and have absolutely fallen in love. Now I pride myself as a dog AND cat person :) I look forward to keeping your pet company while you are away. I will also send photo updates so you don't ever feel too far away. :) *If you live outside of my set radius (10+ miles away) a fee adjustment of up to $15 per night/per drop in will be added depending on distance.

Second time maya has watched our pups and birds and she was great again! Lots of communication and pics while I was gone and she handled them being fussy and naughty very well :)

We had a fantastic experience with Maya! She came over beforehand for a meet and greet, which gave us a lot of confidence going into the booking. She stayed at our house for three nights/four days and took excellent care of our two dogs and two cockatiels. One of our dogs is high-needs and requires daily medication, and Maya handled everything perfectly—just as we would. She kept in touch every day with updates and wasn’t afraid to ask questions if anything came up, which we really appreciated. Our cockatiels aren’t exactly the friendliest, but she still made the effort to care for them, and we’re so grateful for that extra attention. We came home to a clean house, happy pets, and total peace of mind. We would absolutely recommend Maya and would book with her again in a heartbeat!
