Pet care experience

Experienced pet lover!

I've had cats and dogs in my life since I was 5, beginning with my amazing German Shepherd/Cocker Spaniel mutt Lucky (from when she was a puppy until she was 15). Growing up in Seattle, I would also dog sit/walk and cat sit for all of my neighbors. Most recently, my husband and I had the privilege of adopting two cats. We've had them for a year, and they are my pride and joy!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I always ask for details about preferences (of you and your pets!) to ensure a smooth and happy experience for all. I make sure to communicate regularly (including daily updates and pictures as desired); always check fences and gates if your pet likes to play in the yard; lock doors; and leave your home in better condition than I found it.

Maria had been an excellent walker, always prompt and does not skimp on the walk time. My dog is typically shy of strangers but took to Maria immediately
