maria has house and pet sat for me on numerous occasions and it doesn’t get any better. she is fantastic! i know my pup will get his medication, walks and lots of cuddles. my semi feral cat is even happy to get scratches from her and he usually only lets me. and bonus my indoor and outdoor plants always get well taken care of and i come home to a clean house. i highly recommend maria!
