About Maria

My very first pet was a puppy (a poodle), and since then I've taken care of birds and mainly cats. I'm pretty sure I was a cat in my former life!

I love all kinds of animals, particularly small pets (because I am small in stature myself, and it's just easier when they don't tower over me) but what I lack in size, I make up for with a HUGE heart and I will ensure your furry or feathery family member will be looked after with the utmost of care.

I live in an inner city apartment, which means a cozy and manageable space for your fur baby, and not many hiding spots, so they will never be out of sight! I have floor to ceiling windows, so it is bright and sunny in my living room. No balcony though, so dogs are taken outside to do their business :) I'm surrounded by parks, such as Flagstaff Gardens and Eades Park - easy for dog walking! 

I have also fostered cats for several years (through a registered cat rescue organisation), so I've got all the good things that your feline will love, such as cat scratching posts, cubby holes, beds, blankets, boxes, litter trays and toys! I work from home almost every day, so rest assured your pet will be fully supervised, and my colleagues are always happy to see a cute furball suddenly make a guest appearance during team meetings - keeps everyone in a great mood (and more productive of course!). 

Happy to answer any questions you may have prior to making a booking, so come say hi and let's see if I'm a purrrrrfect fit for your pet :)
