Pet care experience

Recent college grad and dog lover!

I have two yellow labs of my own, one who is climbing into his senior years and one who is still a pup and super playful! They’ve taught me a lot about how to care for dogs and their individual needs. I’ve also dogsat for several neighbors and families in my area since I was 14, so I have plenty of experience on how to keep a wide range of dogs happy and healthy, from German shepherds to Yorkies!

Maria is an exceptional pet caregiver! She has looked after my dog on multiple occasions, and I’ve always been impressed with the care and attention she provides. Her warm, friendly demeanor immediately puts both pets and their owners at ease, making it easy to trust her with your beloved furry family member. Maria is active and energetic, ensuring my dog not only gets plenty of exercise but also plenty of love and attention while I’m away. As a proud owner of two yellow labs herself, she’s well-versed in managing multiple dogs at once and understands the unique needs and personalities that come with each one. I always return home to a happy, healthy, and well-cared-for pup, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
