About Maria

Experience: 2 yrs

Providing exceptional care for your beloved companions is my greatest passion. With two years of hands-on experience, I treat every pet as if they were my own, prioritizing their comfort, happiness, and a consistent routine. I hold the Certified & insured pet sitter certification and maintain CPR training and First Aid. Whether I am administering medication, managing high-energy play, or ensuring a secure environment, I remain calm and responsible during any situation. My background includes caring for a diverse range of animals, from dogs and cats to exotic pets and farm animals. I take pride in witnessing their unique personalities while offering you complete peace of mind. I approach every visit with kindness and empathy, ensuring your pets feel safe and loved in their own home. I look forward to meeting your furry, feathered, or scaled family members and becoming a trusted part of their lives.

I feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a wonderful and caring cat sitter. My cat is a senior with disabilities and several ongoing health issues, so caring for her can be much more involved than caring for the average cat. She requires medications, extra attention, help with various daily needs, and someone who is patient and understanding of her limitations. She has stayed overnight with her and has gone above and beyond to make sure she is comfortable, cared for, and has company so she doesn't feel lonely. She has also helped with medications and the extra chores that come along with caring for a senior special-needs cat, which gives me tremendous peace of mind when I have to be away. What stands out most is how genuinely caring she is with animals. It's very obvious that she truly loves them and cares about their well-being, rather than simply treating pet sitting as a job. She is kind, patient, easygoing, dependable, and extremely clean and respectful of my home. Most importantly, I feel that I can trust her with a cat who means the world to me and requires a higher level of care. She's simply a very good, caring person, and I'm extremely grateful for everything she has done for us. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets, especially senior or special-needs animals.
