About Maria

I had pets since I was little and I have always been used to having animals around and interacting with them, I think pets play a very important role in the household dynamic. I understand that being a pet owner is a big responsibility and I like helping out people who need to rely on someone else to take care of they beloved furbabies while they're away. I'm actually pretty grateful when people trust me to look after their precious pets, I take it very seriously, and I'm committed to facilitate as much communication as possible to ensure everyone involved is comfortable and happy!

I recently started housesitting more consistently for friends and other acquaintances, and since I have been having really good experiences (and reviews!) I decided to try to do this on more regular basis. I'm comfortable interacting with different levels of energy when it comes to pets. I'm familiar with administering medication and as long as clear instructions are given I'm ok with doing so. Please note that for home visits I prefer them to be adjacent to where I'm located which is near Trinity Bellwoods area. For house sitting I'm a bit more flexible.

I currently work on weekends supporting people with disabilities and have 2 other casual remote jobs. I'm a pretty active person, I take hot yoga classes, dance classes, like to participate in reading groups, go out to small events, comedy shows; but also enjoy the more mellow days and just staying at home recharging and taking it easy.

Maria was so awesome, she was super generous and communicated every day—sent photos/video and kept us comfortable with her care of our cat Max during our travels. He was super comfortable and cool chilling out with her....and wasn't at all mad at us (as he usually is) when we returned home!

Thank you so much Maria!

Maria did a great job taking care of our cat, she was thorough, friendly and kept us well updated of how our cat was doing while we were away. It was great having someone trustworthy to rely on while we were on vacation.
