Hi friends! My name is Maria and alongside being an animal lover I am also a world traveler, conservationist, proud foodie, and recent graduate with a degree in Pre-Veterinary Medicine. I’ve had 10+ years of experience working with all different types of animals, and countless breeds of dogs, cats and various household pets. I worked as a veterinary assistant in my time at undergrad, and that taught me invaluable skills that can be applied toward the safety and care of your pet. I have just come home from 3 months in Thailand volunteering with and learning about the preservation of the endangered Asian Elephant. My next move will be applying for vet school and dreaming of my next travel destination! Please don’t hesitate to reach out for more information regarding myself and/or what I can do for your pet! I’m here to help make you and your pet’s life easier. So looking forward to meeting you and your pet in the future. For the most part my schedule is open, with exceptions to a few random weekends, so I am eager to work around you and your pet’s schedule! Caring for a pet means prioritizing their comfort and safety. This means respecting their space and reading their body language. This also means respecting your home and of boundaries that you have set. By caring for your pet I have earned a level of trust that I have no intention of abusing. Instead I will continue to foster and nurture the special bond that I have with your pet and with you.
