Extensive Experience

Pet care experience

I am very experienced in animal care. I can pet-sit in my home or yours. I'm very patient with shy animals. In my home small-large dogs accepted. In your home, any size dogs accepted. I'm a graduate of WTAMU and I majored in wildlife biology. I have worked in both rescue and worked as a vet tech, so I am able to administer any medications your pet needs. I have a lot of availability to take care of your pets. I also have a bit of experience in dog training as well. I trained my previous dog to be a service dog. I have experience with basic dog grooming including teeth brushing, bathing, ear cleaning, and nail trimming. As I said above, I do have a dog of my own, a 3 year old male He's good with other dogs. I also have a cat, but she's good with dogs. I am available last minute if need be. If I'm in town, odds are I can take are of your dog. I can also take care of all other animals, too!

Maria was amazing! She cared for my fur babies for 2 whole weeks! She provided updates each day. So grateful for her kind and loving spirit! I highly suggest! ✨✨✨✨✨

Maria watched our house for a week and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The cats got plenty of love, we got plenty of updates, and the house was left very tidy. Thanks Maria, for a great experience!

Maria stayed with my Cat over Christmas and was great, as usual. It was about the third time I’ve used her and she always stays at mine with him and it works out great.

Maria was wonderfully communicative while we were away. She took great care of our furry babies and all was in order upon our return home.

I do my best to make sure your pets don’t feel out of place with me in the home. I try to keep the same schedule and habits as their owners, but will always give extra love since I know they miss their owners.

Information Maria D. would like to know about your pet

I will normally ask about feeding schedule, potty schedule, whether the pet sleeps on the bed or in a crate, any medical issues I should be aware of, any behavioral issues. None of this will change anything, it’s just good to know

A typical day

Depending on if you have a large yard or not, I’ll take your dog on a walk that will fit their activity level. If you have a large yard, I love to play fetch with them. If they’re more of a couch potato, I will cuddle with them on the couch all evening.
