I currently have a flexible routine, which allows me to plan my days around pet visits. I prefer to take on a small number of bookings so I can give each pet calm, consistent care and stick closely to their usual routine. I’m available for morning or evening visits, and I’m happy to agree times in advance to suit both the pet’s needs and the owner’s preferences.

About Maria M.

Cat skills

Oral medication administration

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in their own home so they can stay in a familiar, comfortable environment while their owner is away. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, and maintaining a clean litter area. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, whether they enjoy play, company, or prefer a quieter presence and I adapt my approach to suit them. I am respectful and mindful in someone’s home, ensuring everything is left clean, secure, and just as I found it. I am also happy to send regular updates and photos for reassurance. If I ever had any concerns about a pet’s wellbeing, I would contact the owner promptly.

Information Maria M. would like to know about your pet

I like to know a pet’s usual routine, personality, and any specific needs or preferences. This helps me make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for.

A typical day

For cats, I focus on calm interaction, play with toys, and creating a relaxed environment where they feel comfortable. I also have experience walking dogs and I enjoy making each dog walk or visit engaging and enjoyable for the pet. This can include relaxed walks, gentle play, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. For dogs, I like to include opportunities to explore safely, play simple games, and keep them mentally stimulated.

Cat care experience

I am a cat owner myself and have daily experience caring for my own cat, including feeding, maintaining a clean litter area, and paying close attention to their behaviour and wellbeing. I understand how important routine is for cats and how even small changes can affect them, so I aim to keep things as familiar and calm as possible while their owner is away. I am naturally patient and observant, and I take time to notice each cat’s personality including whether they enjoy play, company, or prefer a quieter presence. I have also helped care for cats for friends and family, and I understand the importance of being reliable, respectful of someone’s home, and providing reassurance through updates and photos. I also regularly help a friend by walking their dog while they work. This reflects my reliability and experience caring for pets as part of someone’s routine.

Maria is amazing with animals and absolutely adores our cat, Sophia. She just genuinely loves being around pets and even regularly walks her friend’s dog because she enjoys it so much. You can really see how caring she is from how much she misses and worries about her own little cat when she’s away-it says a lot about how she’ll treat someone else’s pet. I’d definitely recommend Maria. She’ll take great care of your cat, and you can count on her to send cute little photo updates to keep your mind at ease while you’re away.
