About Maru

Experience: 10 yrs

My pet philosophy: Witnessing the unique personalities of the pets I care for brings me joy. I maintain a clean and secure environment, always interacting with your pet and watching for signs of distress. I ensure they feel comfortable and loved while with me. I specialize in boarding rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, hamsters, birds, and other small pets, including small dogs and cats. I only take one pet (or family of pets) at one time, so please book early. How I'll work with you: Responsible, kind, and empathetic, I aim to be a friend who solves your pet sitting needs without stress, giving you peace of mind while you're away. In emergencies, I remain calm, follow pre-discussed plans, and immediately contact you. I also provide pickup and drop off when needed. About me: I was pet mom to rabbits, two dogs, two cats, a hamster, and beta fish. As an empty nester working from home, I treat client pets as grandchildren. I am an Education Consultant and speak English and Spanish.

Maru after my rabbit for awhile when I went to visit my family. Very much an animal lover, was so excited to have him, was very attentive to his needs, asked me questions when she needed to, and overall made the process very easy. Would 100% recommend.
