About Mariia

Hello:)

my name is Mariia and I am 34 years old. I am a travel agent by profession. For the last 10 months I have been working remotely, answering emails and calls. It takes a couple of hours a day. Therefore, I am free most of the day and can devote time to my favorite - communicating with pets, cats and dogs. I love taking care of furry friends and that makes me happy.

I have extensive experience in volunteering in Europe. The main activity I did was to pick up the animal from the street, provide the necessary treatment, post-treatment care and find a home and family for the pet. I also have experience with animals that require medication such as injections, pills or liquid.

My police check has been done in November 2020, so it is valid now.

As long as I remember myself from childhood, in the family of my parents, and then in my own family, I have always had pets. For me, my pet is a member of my family.

My cats name is Victoria and Richard. In Europe, unfortunately, many animals live on the street. So, I picked up Victoria from the street with a number of diseases and in serious condition. Thanks to doctors, timely treatment and my incredible love, now she is a gorgeous cat, who we jokingly call a princess. Richard and Victoria get along well and love each other very much. Now my 2 cats are in Europe, they live with my sister, and I miss them a lot. Over the years, I have taken care of the pets of my clients and friends when they have to travel. And every pet is as loved for me as my own. I have over 15 years of experience in caring for and living with cats of all breeds, as well as over 5 years of experience in caring for small sized dogs.

My husband and I live together in an apartment, and he is as much a pet lover as I am. He works 5 days a week and is often not at home, but when he is at home, he spends time caring and playing with the pets.

I have experience with the next breeds (cats): *Bengal *Maine Coon * British shorthair * Ragdoll * Norwegian forest *Siamese * Scottish fold * Siberian * and many others

I have experience with the next breeds (dogs):

* Jack Russel * Chihuahua * Bichon Frise * Yorkshire Terrier * Golden Retriever * Pomeranian * Poodle * Groodle *

*Pet Boarding* In my apartment, I allow pets to spend time anywhere, in the bedroom, living room or kitchen. Cats and dogs love when they can explore and sleep where they want, especially cats, they always know better what to do them and how to do it)) and I am ok with that). My apartment is within walking distance from the park where dogs can play with other dogs. Since I work remotely, I am mostly at home during the day.

*House Sitting * At the owner's house, in addition to caring for the pet, at your request, I can pick up mail, water plants, throw out the rubbish. I always check carefully to see if I have closed the front door. And I follow all the instructions left to me by the owner. You will be returned to your apartment in the same condition it was in on the day of your departure. I can stay in the owner's house until 2 pm, and return by 7 pm, staying overnight. Sometimes I am at the owner's house all day long without leaving the house. This can be agreed with the owner.

A few important points below that apply to the both services:

*House Sitting* and *Pet Boarding*

* I really love to play with furry friends, and I devote time to games from half an hour to an hour 2 times a day, in the mornings and evenings. I will walk the dog twice a day (or thrice if it's necessary). I love long walks in the park, so if your dog needs exercise I can easily arrange it.

* I understand the psychology of cats. And I will find an approach even to those cats whose temper you may call not simple.

* I will feed them according to your request and recommendations.

*Home Visits* Visiting the pet owner's home. I will spend 45 minutes with your pet. For cats, I clean the toilet, play with them, feed them and spend time with them, as they love according to the recommendations of the owner. With dogs I walk on the street or park, play with them, and feed them. I have experience in giving medication in any form as needed. I can visit a pet once or twice a day.

My goal is to give your pet the best experience with all my care and love.
