About Maria

Good day!

My name is Maria , I am based in Melbourne, VIC. I am very organized and responsible pet loving carer who you can trust and rely on. I know how hard it is to leave your beloved ones even for one day, so I will do my best in taking care of them. I have been surrounded by pets for all my life. I used to have at my home and take care of a little corella parrot, two red eared sliders, a leopard gecko, a medium size fish tank, a Russian tortoise, a small rat, two rabbits, guinea pigs and, of course, cats and dogs.

Right now I have a gorgeous 17 y.o. scottish fold cat, that I have been taking care of since she was little. Unfortunately, and heartbreaking for me, I couldn’t take her to Australia as she is pretty old for such a long journey and has heart problems, so my parents take good care of her. In Melbourne I have 4 lovely guinea pigs (3 sows and 1 boar).

Please, feel free to contact me and provide all the details about your pet and caring instructions. I would ask to be informed of any necessary medications, special dietary requirements, and usual times for feeding, treats and their temperament, and of course, I would keep you updated with the status of your fur babies. I truly believe that pets deserve the same care as human do.

We have booked Maria to visit our cat Plato on two occasions now. He's an aging cat with some health concerns, who requires medication. Maria was happy and able to deal with that.

Overall, she is highly reliable and conscientious. Would definitely recommend her services

Maria did a great job looking after my 2 cats while I was away over Christmas. She was very communicative and I felt completely at ease and confident that they were in good hands while I was away. Maria was a delight to deal with and I’d highly recommend her services 😊
