Pet care experience
I have had many pets growing up and have been surrounded by them my whole life. I have helped with their care including administering medicine, caring for a handicapped pup, and general grooming. I've experienced caring for dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, hamsters, fish, and turtles. I will always go above and beyond to make sure furry child is comfortable, happy, and with a full tummy at all times. You can trust me to care for your pet as if it were my own.
Reviews
Maria is one of the best dog sitters I've had. She goes above and beyond, is extremely responsible, loving, and attentive. Her love for animals truly shows this.
Maria was absolutely incredible! This was my first time using a dog sitter while I went on vacation. Maria gave him the most loving care imaginable and treated him like her own. I received daily updates and pictures while I was away. I highly recommend her services if you are looking for a diligent animal loving sitter!
I've known Maria Martinez for almost 5 years, and she is a very caring and responsible young woman. She has taken care of our two dogs multiple times, and they are always very excited to see Maria...even our dog who can be skittish around anyone but family. Maria's family also has several pets of their own, including 3 dogs and 2 cats, so her love for animals is quite obvious. After graduating from VCU with a Bachelors Degree in Health Sciences, Maria is continuing her education in an accelerated nursing program, which speaks volumes about her character. I would strongly recommend Maria Martinez to assist with your dog care needs.
Maria takes care of my two dogs from time to time whenever i’m on vacation and I would strongly recommend her to anyone that’s looking for a dog sitter!! She’s extremely attentive and always gives all my dogs the love and care in the world. I appreciate all that she’s done & can’t thank her enough.

Safety, trust & environment
I am currently in an apartment with plenty of walking area, a dog park, and a nice river path near by. I live very close to my family home where family can provide extra love attention, which has a large fenced in yard where they can socialize with my other pets if you feel comfortable. My pets are a bit shy but will be curious and accepting of your pet a few moments after meeting.

A typical day
Although I live in an apartment there are plenty of walking locations within my complex and around it! There is a dog park in my vicinity, and a nice trail along the river across the street. If you are comfortable with me taking your pup to different locations, I would take them on a drive to a close by dog park for some socialization and exercise, which includes a small dog park. My family home is very close with 3 dogs and a large yard to spend some time running around, which is something we can discuss during the first meet and greet.

Availability
I am a full-time online nursing student and am home most days other than Friday. My schedule requires my attention for a max of 3 hours and plenty of time to provide potty breaks in-between classes. I am available in the mornings, most afternoons, and night time to take your furry child on a walk and spend some time with them while you are away at work or taking time for yourself away from home!
