me + dogs = love!
Pet care experience
I'm a dog lover. I've had 10 dogs, and personally trained 4, including my service dog. My favorite pastime is to walk my dogs (I can handle three giant dogs at the same time). When I'm back home you can find me either playing, cuddling or grooming my dogs. For me every dog is a puppy. I'm not afraid of dogs which makes them trust me almost instantly. I'm that kind of person that will go out of my way to say hi to a dog, and if I can play with them. There are no "bad breeds" only incapable owners that don't know how to handle them. I have a high level of energy which is good for when I’m with the dogs since I not only would walk them but play them also! It is extra special for me to give the dogs a little massage after the walk since their hips are like their shoulders and they need to get the tension of off them.

We agreed to cancel more than 24hours in advance. Notified her and rover, yet still got charged.
Maria is wonderful! Genuinely kind and loving. I’m so grateful to have found her. My dog and cat adore her and the affection and attention she gives them.
Wonderful! Maria absolutely adores dogs and has even trained her own as service animals. She took such good care of our puppy and sent updates throughout the evening. We can’t wait to have her pet sit our puppy again!
I have a very large, very bouncy dog that most people can’t handle, but he absolutely loves Maria and she deals with him exceptionally well. There isn’t a more capable and skilled dog lover than her!

I honestly don't have any breed preference I love them all. I do know how to handle big breeds since I've had old English shepherd, Neapolitan Mastiff and Great Pyrenees. I would like to know if the dog is allergic to some food, their level of energy and endurance, how they are around other animals, everything I could know about the furry fluff.
A typical day
OH GOD!!! Well we will get some serious exercise. I would bring them to the dog park, or go hiking with them. Playing tug-o-war is my favorite! But wont turn down a good old fetch. I like to teach them new tricks like shake or high five. Two words: DOG BEACH!!!!!! It is the best! But I’m also down to chill with a dog that doesn’t have a lot of stamina to keep up with me. I love brushing dogs, and getting rid of any nots they might have. Normally I carry some treats with me and I give them to the doggies while I teach them a new trick or something. After every visit to the dog park I always do a little grooming sesión before they get in the car. I have a brush, puppy wipes, and some perfumes for them
