Loves all dogs; hopes to meet yours
Pet care experience
I have taken care of dogs of all kind for 10+ years. Neighbors, friends, and family have routinely relied on me to walk, watch, and care for their pets on a day to day basis and for longer periods of time. I have grown up with dogs of all personalities and sizes, from a toy fox terrier to a large chocolate lab. I have a lot of experience with dogs of varying shyness and comfortability around other people and dogs. I have owned and cared for many shelter dogs that may have more hesitancy around new faces, so I am capable of working with all types of dogs. I worked at an animal shelter for 4+ years, so I am extremely experienced at walking dogs all over the city and getting to know new dogs. I also have experience taking care of all age ranges of dogs. I have cared for newborn puppies, rambunctious puppies, middle aged dogs, and older dogs. For the older dogs, I have worked with dogs that have vision loss, hearing loss, need to daily pain pills, or have trouble walking. Finally, I genuinely love to be around dogs, so I would love to meet yours!
Reviews
Maria took excellent care of our dog and our house while we were away!
Maria is a wonderful dog sitter and true animal person - She is kind, patient, and caring. She is very friendly and out going and your fur babies will never get bored, and always be in good hands. I recommend her fully to anyone!
Maria grew up with all kinds of dogs, from tiny toy fox terriers, to large labs and retrievers, to a pit bull mix who has to be watched very carefully around other animals. She's comfortable with canine quirks, she's very responsible (I've used her to dog sit and house sit for me), and she's kind. Your dog would be lucky to take a stroll with someone like Maria!
