Maria was an excellent home and critter caregiver for us. She loved on and cared for the critters as I would, which gave me so much peace while we were away

Maria took fantastic care of our two cats, large dog, and chickens, and left our home if perfect condition. We would be happy to have her stay again!

This was Maria's second sit, and I'm so appreciative of all she does to care for Conan and Salma. They clearly love her! She's welcome back anytime.

Maria was a tenant for 7 years who took care of our house and garden like it was her own. She communicated regularly, improved the garden and landscaping, and made sure routine maintenance was done in a timely manner. Highly recommended.
