Loving, reliable, trustworthy care.

Pet care experience

Surrounded by pets my whole life, dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, iguanas and fish. I find great joy in taking care of them and would like to share this joyful care with your beloved pet. I have experience with many dog breeds from the small shihtzu, large rottwreiler to the energetic labradoodle to name a few. I have taken care of medically fragile pets, pets with special needs and ones with unique behaviors. My “grand kitties” love visiting especially when I play their favorite music. I believe a healthy pet is one that gets lots of love, regular exercise and has scheduled feeding times. As an owner of curious dogs who try to eat things outside, I’ve become knowledgable on what plants are non-poisonous and poisonous in my area. My goal is to have happy, exercised and full bellied pets. A content pet makes a happy owner. As a recently retired school teacher of 30 years, my schedule is extremely flexible which enables me to be there for your fur babies. Thank you for considering me to take care of your fur babies. My motto “Cuddles and Care”!

Maria was awesome! She arrived at our meet and greet with a smile on her face, and a ball for Cody, his favorite thing in the world. She was very thorough in explaining what will be done during the walk and took notes on everything she needed to know about him. On the day of the walk, she arrived promptly, took Cody for a 30 minute walk, left a detailed report, and took pictures. In each of the pictures he was smiling. That says it all about Maria. I am so glad I checked Rover and found her. She will be our go-to person whenever we need a Dog Walker.

Information Maria H. would like to know about your pet

No breed preference. Things I would like to know: Medical needs, feeding schedule, outside schedule, likes/dislikes, behavior toward other animals.

A typical day

Lots of positive interaction. From toy time to outside time to feeding time. But my favorite is snuggle time...which includes brushing and hugging. I like to take dogs on walks in areas that are familiar to them. However, Wanamaker County Park has a terrific shaded walk path that I frequent. My 4 legged friends really enjoy the coolness under the canopy of trees.
