Our experience
10+ years
We grew up with different pets (lots of cats!) and are very familiar with how best to take care of them. We respect their space and time, give distance to those that prefer it that way, and cuddle with those that love being cuddled…

Marilia and Michael are incredible humans who took care of our dog Jojo in the best possible way. They were very communicative, kind, and kept Jojo's best…

Marilia & Michael looked after Mariana’s pets & home
Marilia has taken care of my two cats and dog multiple times. She could not have taken better care of them - always caring, loving, and affectionate. Coming back, it was easy to see that they continued to be their happy selves and were properly cared for, with lots of attention. She clearly has a lot of experience with cats and animals in general, which shows easily. Cami and Coco (two-year-old Siberian cats) feel at ease with her, like to be in her arms, and trusted her easily. Tonka, an 11-year-old gondendoodle, wanted to be around her and cuddle with her as soon as he met her. In looking after my home, Marilia was always organized and responsible, and I found my house clean and spotless as if I had never left. She also watered the plants as instructed, maintained excellent communication, and regularly sent me pictures of the pets having a good time (and, of course, good naps!). I full-heartedly recommend her to take care of your loved ones and look after your home. She is reliable, responsible, compassionate, and a true animal lover. If you're looking for some peace of mind while you're away and want to make sure that your pets are in the best hands possible, look no further and book her right away - my pets would say the same :)

Why we want to house sit
We love traveling, and we love being around animals and taking care of them! We also understand how difficult it can be to find someone to care for your beloved pets while you’re traveling, as we face that challenge as well! We are thrilled…
