Pet care experience

Experienced foster and dog mom

I’m an experienced foster, currently with the LASPCA, and I have a dog of my own. There are three dogs in the city who I regularly sit for when their owners go out of town. I love animals and I’d be delighted to care for your babies when you need some help!

I have a sweet but reactive dog, and Maria is so good with him! She’s not intimated by him, can walk him despite his sometimes lunging at other dogs or cats. He’s stayed at her house while I’m out of town, and was super reliable. She’s communicative when needed, and is happy to help out when I only need help walking him, not just dog sitting. She’s attentive to his specific personality. I love having her watch Marcel!

Maria’s the one! Always the first to step up to help an animal in need and one of the FEW people on earth I’d trust with my pup. She’s kind, giving, fun and really aligned with animals. She will look after your baby just like it’s her own and there’s nothing more a pet parent could want. 💕🐾

Maria is one of only three people in the city I trust to watch my baby bear when I’m out of town. Anyone can stop by to feed a dog and let them out a couple of times a day, but Maria goes so much further than that. Her genuine love for animals shines through in everything she does, and it’s obvious she truly cares. Knowing my pup is with someone who treats him like family gives me complete peace of mind. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!
