Dogs make me happy!

Pet care experience

I have cared for 4 beloved dogs in my life. Two are no longer with us (a Chow Chow and a 100 lb mutt), but lived long happy lives. The third was an assistance puppy that I raised for the Guide Dog Foundation. At one year old he was accepted in their training program and graduated to be a blind woman's guide dog. It was hard giving him up, but it was a rewarding experience. My 4th dog, was a rescue that is now in her forever home. I am available evenings on weekdays and all day weekends and am comfortable with any size or breed of dog. I am very patient and loving with dogs and will make sure that they are safe and happy.

Maria was wonderful with our dog! She was confident in her ability to manage Roxie’s oddities and kept me frequently updated with cute pictures. I also really appreciated her flexibility for pick up and drop off. We are so glad to have found someone reliable in the neighborhood!

Maria is a very sweet person with dogs, and teach them so good that in a short period of time they learn things. She is the best dog sitter for any dog.
