About Maria

I love animals. I would love to take your dog for a walk and to play with your cat. I have lots of love to give.

I have 2 cats back home, living with my parents in Portugal. I miss them a lot. That is why I'm on pawshake. Since I can’t pet my own cats, I decided to pet other people’s pets.

You know the kid that stops every time he/she sees a dog in the street? I was that kid and since then nothing changed. I still pet every dog I see in the street. I always wanted a dog, but since I am a researcher (in biochemistry) I never know where I will be next year. So it wouldn't be fair for the dog. Meanwhile, I thought I could give all the love and attention to other people's dogs.

I understand that a pet is also a member of the family, so he/she should be treat as such. Your pet will be in good hands with me. I know how to interact with cats and how to be friends with them. I know how to control a dog, but at the same time I will give him/her lots of cuddles. I can brush, feed and play with your pet. I have a very calm and positive energy, which is good for the animals.

Did you know that interaction with pets triggers the release of a hormone named oxytocin? This happens in both humans and animals. This hormone makes you feel happy and relaxed, which acts as a stress reliever. That is why we like to pet animals, and animals liked to be petted.

If you have any question please feel free to send a message or call me.

This is the first time we have used Maria. Omg what an angel. Maria had a very very special connection with our animals. It was so nice to see. We felt so at ease being away for the 2 days. Photos and herself enjoying playing with the animals and communication was purrfect.

Even the house was spotless when we came home.

We would recommend Maria for all of your pets.

She is simply fantastic🐾🐾
