Pet care experience

Animal Lover!

Hello my name is Annamaria! I’m about to be a junior here at UW madison pursuing a career in nursing. I am very passionate about healthcare and quality patient care but I always loved animals! I have a lot of experience with dogs and a little with cats (though I am willing to learn). I have owned my dog for 17 years. She was a smaller dog but I also have experience with larger dogs from my step dad’s pitt mix who is now a senior. In addition I have done a lot of work at PAWs Chicago. I have clocked over 150 hours of volunteer service and fostered 14 dogs/puppies and 2 kittens. With fostering I have gained experience in potty training and giving medications of all kinds. With volunteering I have done a lot of dog and cat socialization and walks. Additionally in moving to level 2 volunteering I took a dog behavior class and gained experience in how to detect and react to rough and anxious behavior in pets. I also love going on walks especially in the summer so if you have a pet thats looking for some activity I’m your girl! I have also had experience with parakeets, hamsters, and guinea pigs (it was really easy to convince my mom to get new pets).

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

In my time volunteering I have seen that animals all have different personalities that can vary situation to situation so I really want to give your animals the space and patience to get to know me on their terms. Caring for my own animals at home incudes giving them the resources, love, and enrichment they need for a fulfilling day.

Annamaria was great with my cat Bitsy. Very responsive and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend.

Annamaria is one of a kind when it comes to being a responsible and loving pet caregiver. In the time I have known her, she has cared for my senior dog who can sometimes be a little grumpy, but she connects with ease and is sensitive to its needs. I am also aware that she frequently volunteers at PAWS medical center and has fostered a number of dogs herself ranging from puppies to mature dogs that have been recovering from injury or illness or have ongoing health concerns. Annamaria is responsible, dependable, and trustworthy. Pets and humans are naturally drawn to her kind and caring demeanor. I highly recommend Annamaria.
