Hey there! My name is Maria, I'm a UCSB graduate and current classroom teacher. I have owned and cared for pets my entire life! Through high school and college, I have babysat, house-sat, and watched as many as four pets at once for many families and people needing help. I love to assist in any helpful way that I can; watering plants, keeping the house clean, taking out the trash etc. I am very comfortable walking pets, transporting, and following pet-specific instructions. I have owned a very high-maintenance pug named Moe, fish, and two cats named Julian and Biggie Smalls; so I am more than familiar with many types of pets! A little about me; I was born and raised in Seattle, WA with a very loving family. I came down to UCSB to study the ocean and environmental conservation, which has been my passion for as long as I can remember. My most recent experience with dogs involved working at a doggy daycare Dioji in Goleta! I am quick to respond and would love to be of assistance to you!
