Dog lover - Home full time

Dog lover ready to help. I started to volunteer at The Paramus(NJ) Animal shelter at the age of 16 and stayed with them for 5 years. I was also a pet sitter for 3 years and enjoyed every second of it. I have 10 years of experience caring for animals. I love being surrounded by fur friends. I have a little Maltipoo, he is very friendly, his name is Vegeta and he would love the company. I have a large backyard perfect for playtime and i would also take your dog out for walks around the community where I live. My schedule is very flexible so I would be able to accommodate to your needs. I am home full time and i would love to help you take care of your pet as if it was my own.

Maria was absolutely amazing with Smoke! She made sure he was comfortable, taken care of, and she even bathed him for me twice! I can’t thank her enough for making sure my boy was in great hands, I’ll definitely look to booking her again if I ever need it!

Maria and her family were amazing. This experience was way better than expected . Olive was so happy and can't wait to go back. We will definitely use her service again. Thank you for making our dog feel at home away from home.

It was our first time leaving our dogs with total strangers, and we couldn’t have chosen anyone better than Maria! She is not only a deeply caring person but also incredibly knowledgeable. She did an amazing job managing our anxious dog and making him feel safe!

Absolutely PHENOMENAL! Maria showed amazing care and compassion to our two yorkies. She is extremely attentive and kept us updated the entire week. Our dogs are a bit older and a little skittish to new folks, however, settled right in with Maria like they were family. Glad we were able to find Maria and if we’re ever in the area again, we will definitely use her again. Thanks again Maria!

Marley was happy when I picked him up so that makes me happy. Maria was quick to respond and I would have used her again but we decided not to go out the following day.
