Highlights
Pet care experience
Friendly Grad Student & Pet Lover
I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! I grew up in Montana surrounded by animals and was lucky enough to grow up with a Newfoundland, so I’m very comfortable around large dogs. I studied wildlife conservation in college, and my love for animals has always been a huge part of who I am. I regularly walk and help care for the doodle belonging to the family I nanny for, and I’ve also house sat and cared for dogs, cats, and chickens—even a hairless cat! I recently moved to DC to begin graduate school, and I’m excited to spend some of my free time caring for pets and exploring the city with some furry companions! I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’ll make sure your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
For drop-in visits and dog walks, I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide! I’ll ensure they have the attention, exercise, and care they need.
Ratings and reviews
Maria arrived in a timely manner to both our meet and greet and our drop in. She completed all the care tasks. The dogs were comfortable with her and I would book her again for future visits. Thank you Maria!

Schedule
As a graduate student, I have classes a few days a week, leaving many of my mornings and afternoons flexible for pet care. I recently moved to DC and am excited for the opportunity to get to know my new city while spending time with some furry friends! Whether that means going for walks, playing, or simply keeping your pet company, I’d love to make pet care a fun and meaningful part of my weekly routine.
