Pet care experience

Your pup’s new pal! :D

I have grown up with dogs at home and have a ton of experience caring for them. I have been living in Fitler Square since graduating Haverford College in 2022 and am a student at Penn Dental. I LOVE animals but can not own one of my own at this time so I have loved making furry friends in the area!

Maria always takes good care of Carson. She’s always on time for their walks and I know my dog is in good hands with her. Thanks again!

As always, Maria is the best with our dogs - very patient, and very on time for some early morning walks! So glad to have her around!

Once again Maria was a lifesaver for us in a pinch! She’s so responsive and takes great care of our little floof. Would highly recommend her to anyone!

Safety, trust & environment

I have been babysitting since I was in high school and I am currently a Fun Zone Volunteer at the Ronald McDonald House of Philadelphia! I consider myself to be responsible and caring. I’m always happy to meet you and your pup before any booking to make sure we are both comfortable and that I am a good fit for them!

A typical day

I can take your dog out for long walks (or runs if you prefer) around the neighborhood. I can also provide many many many pets and belly scratches and fun photos during our time together.
