Pet care experience

Hi! I’m 23 years old and currently a master’s student at USF studying Marriage and Family Therapy. I’ve volunteered for years at Alachua County Animal Services, taking out several dogs as fosters and doing “doggy day out” activities at home. I grew up with a Belgian Malinois and a Yorkie, so I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I love providing attentive, loving care and making sure every dog feels happy and safe.

Maria took wonderful care of my pup! She had great communication and kept me updated throughout my weekend away. From the pictures she sent and when I picked him up, I could tell he had a happy and comfortable stay. I would definitely book with her again!
