About Maria

Experience: 6 yrs

Hi! I'm Camila, a Veterinarian and Animal Science professional from Colombia with a lifelong love for animals. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and basic care. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy, patient, and attentive caring for your pets. I provide pet sitting in your home, drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays when needed, and I'm happy to send pictures and updates while you're away. I'm also open to caring for other animals. I especially love exotic animals! Although I haven't had the opportunity to pet sit exotic pets yet, my veterinary background gives me knowledge of animal care and welfare, and I'm comfortable following detailed routines and instructions. I'll always treat your pets with love, patience, and respect.

Maria was a wonderful person! She took care of all of our dogs (we have 6) and 2 cats several times while we were out of town. She did a great job doing everything we asked her to do. Feeding, giving medications, letting them out for potty breaks, keeping their space tidy and clean. She took pictures daily and sent us daily updates! We loved the fact that she recently graduated with a veterinary degree! We felt at ease knowing that she has the right knowledge and background to take care of all our fur babies’ needs. Highly recommended!
