Hi! I’m Maria, and I can’t wait to help care for your furry family member! In the past, I have owned a dachshund-wiener mix dog, a Dalmatian-Labrador mix dog, and a tuxedo cat who acted like a dog. I love animals of all kinds, and enjoy caring for their needs, as well as giving them love and attention. I have helped assist in house sitting with a friend, and therefore have acquired experience in caring for cats and dogs in the home. Since my initial experience with assisting, I have spent the last several years taking care of animals on my own, and have had clients return to me as their regular house sitter whenever they go out of town. I have a flexible schedule and enjoy being the full time caregiver for animals while their owners are away. I love getting to know the animals and doing my best to make them feel well taken care of. I am strong and can handle long walks and energetic dogs. I have a high metabolism and love moving around, so I can’t wait to walk with your dog! I have a flexible schedule in the afternoon and evenings, and am happy to fill a daily need of dropping in to feed or play with your pet! Thank you, and I look forward to meeting you!
