Information Maria M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs. I also have a dog crate to separate my dog from your lovely pet and a pet gate to separate from bedroom to living room if needed.
A typical day
I would love to take your dog on 2-3 walks a day, as my neighborhood is very dog friendly. If your dog would also like a buddy, my 3 year old husky mix is really sweet and playful, and has been trained to behave well with all dogs brought around her, whether it be just tolerating or actually playing with them.

Pet care experience
I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. It first started with our family cat who I primarily fed, trimmed nails, played with and then our family Shetland sheepdog at age 11. I’ve had plenty of experience with walking, bathing, even training dogs on command and working on household behaviors. I’ve also taken care of senior dogs and have administered a variety of medications. I currently have a 3-yr old husky mix girl pup. I’ve crate trained her, somewhat good on leash (a bit reactive when other dogs pass by closely), and has good recall. I value the quality a pet has and would make sure they feel as comfortable, safe, and happy as possible, treating them as my own.
Reviews

Maria was great with Hobbes! My only thought is that she has quite a busy life and other commitments, which worked out okay for us because Hobbes is pretty flexible on timing, but could be hard with a very regimented cat!


Maria was great with my cats! Even my shy kitty loved spending time with her while I was away. She was very communicative and did a wonderful job.

AMAZING! Maria took such great care of my dog Zola, accommodated a very last minute travel request, and was very communicative + flexible. Zola clearly had a great time :)) Thank you so much!!!

Super happy to have Maria! Very communicative and sweet to my puppy!
