Maria Whitworth Maria Whitworth- Beware Vancouver Washington

I hired Miss Whitworth to pet-sit my cat (in her home) while away visiting family across the country. On the third day, I received a text from her stating that she had changed my cat’s diet abruptly and completely contrary to the way she explained she would. When I asked her why she went against what we agreed upon and what she promised, she became extremely volatile. She screamed at me and hung up, then proceeded to send me 22 long text messages, with each successive message becoming increasingly more violent, abusive, incoherent and disturbing. She threatened my animal and claimed I would never see her again. I had to send animal control to her home to retrieve my pet. When animal control arrived at her home, Maria initially lied and articulated that she had given my pet away, but wound up giving in and literally threw my cat at the officer. My pet was impounded and I had to fly back across the country to retrieve her two days later.

This woman is extremely unstable, volatile and abusive. I only *wish I had thought to google her name prior to my interaction with her.
