Former vet tech who LOVES all pets!

Pet care experience

I am fully committed to making sure your pets are well taken care of. Ever since I could remember, I've never been pet-less, from hamsters to cats to dogs. My childhood dream was even to be a veterinarian! I was a veterinary assistant for a year before I started pursuing evolutionary biology. I am currently getting my PhD in Biology at UPenn. I am also experienced in working with anxious pets, so I will make sure to accommodate to any specific needs. Additionally, I have experience administering oral and topical medication.

Maria did an amazing job! My dog loves her and she got lots of snuggles, walks, and forest adventures. Maria is incredibly responsive, communicative and respectful - she left my apartment in immaculate condition. Will definitely rebook!

Maria took great care of my lil guy while I was busy studying. She was very communicative and sent the cutest pictures of my dog. I will definitely be asking Maria to watch B in the future :)

Maria has been a reliable dog walker for our pup Ace! She is so sweet and always makes sure that our pup is taken care of. I could not recommend Maria more! Book her!

Maria was amazing! I have 4 dogs and all have their issues. She followed all instructions and asked necessary questions when things didn't go as planned. One of my dogs has GI issues and she kept trying to get him to eat. I've had several awful sitters until now. She truly was amazing with the dogs. Her communication and commitment were very much appreciated.
