Maria the gentle home keeper

More information about this house sitter

I’m Maria — a reliable, down‑to‑earth professional with a commitment to caring for people, animals, and the spaces they call home. With more than 35 years in the beauty and wellness industry, including running my own salon and training future therapists, I bring a calm, capable, and detail‑oriented approach to everything I do.

I’m someone who values respect, cleanliness, and genuine connection. Whether I’m tending to a home, looking after pets, or maintaining a garden, I approach it with the same care and pride I give my own space. I’m a non‑smoker, early riser, nature lover, and someone who enjoys slow mornings, long walks, and a peaceful, well‑kept environment.

Animals warm to me quickly — I’m patient, intuitive, and attentive to their needs. I’m equally comfortable with routines, medications (non‑medical handling only), and giving pets the affection and stability they need while their humans are away.

You can expect excellent communication, a spotless home on your return, and complete respect for your privacy and belongings. I treat every house sit as a privilege, not a transaction.

If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, nurturing, and genuinely invested in keeping your home and pets safe, happy, and well‑loved, I’d be honoured to assist you. Read more...
