I’ve known Maria for almost 2 decades and animals are drawn to her presence. I wish my dog could write cause he just adores her.

Information Maria Z. would like to know
Any pet allergies? Dog or people reactive? Scared of specific noises?
A typical day
I love going on adventures and finding new places to explore. I have just moved from Australia so finding a good routine is always a plus 😃

Maria ia a great pet sitter and have had her look after our pets a number of times. She is great with our animals varying personalities so much so that our dog knows her by name and looks forward to her coming to look after him. Maria is very capable reliable and her love for animals shows.

Maria is clearly an animal lover. Was better with my dogs than I am :). Will hire again for sure.
