Passionate Pet Technician✨

Pet care experience

I'm passionate about animals, meeting new personalities and being in nature! As a Pet Technician, I have experience caring for dogs and cats all age ranges. From a young puppy that requires mindful reinforcement to a senior dog that requires medication administration, I practice unconditional love and patience throughout my care. My #1 responsibility and goal is to create a safe environment and positive experience for all. To ensure my readiness and education, I am certified in Pet First Aid and CPR. I believe it's important to get to know and respect each pet's unique personality and preferences when caring for them. Looking forward to taking your furry friends on their favorite outdoor adventures soon!

Maria is an absolute gem! I was in a bind and needed last minute care for my puppy, and she came through like a true lifesaver. From the moment we met, I could feel her warmth, kindness, and genuine love for animals. She treated my pup like her own, showering him with attention, affection, and care. When I picked him up, he was happy and clearly had a wonderful day. Maria has such a gentle and loving energy that instantly put me at ease. It’s rare to find someone you trust completely with your fur baby, but with Maria, I knew he was in the best hands. She went above and beyond in every way, and I truly can’t recommend her enough. If you’re lucky enough to have Maria care for your pet, know they’ll be safe, loved, and in the hands of someone truly special. She’s the kind of person who makes your day better just by being in it and clearly does the same for the pets she cares for!

Maria is the best! I met her while on a walk and she was caring for another dog. I was so impressed with her kind spirit and love for animals. When it came time that I needed someone to look after my dog it was no question I had to reach out to Maria! She was extremely communicative and flexible. I highly recommend🙌🏼

My primary focus is ensuring that you and your pet(s) feel safe and comfortable. I am committed to following specific instructions and providing exceptional care.

A typical day

Living in the Marina, I enjoy staying active by walking or hiking at least 11k steps daily. I allow the pets to guide me by listening to their body language. Some walks are leisurely, allowing us to explore at a relaxed pace and engage our senses. Other times, we're running because we have so much energy to exert! Even routine activities can turn into playtime, whether it's an organized game of fetch or spontaneous fun that unfolds naturally in the moment.
