Pet care experience

I have my own vehicle and a flexible schedule, I have worked personally with a variety of pets, who have possessed a variety of attitudes and needs; Breeding dogs, shy/special need animals, older pets, pets with medical needs, pregnant dogs, puppies from birth up to adulthood, and last but not least, cats! Animals hold a special place in our families and they have special needs and interests just like humans do. I take the time to learn about the animal and its personality to help it feel as comfortable with me as possible. Keeping dogs (and all pets) happy, healthy and comfortable is a special kind of blessing for me. I'm very excited to hear from you and your pupper! I think I like going to dog parks more than the dogs themselves!

Maria and Eli had our first weekend with Sunny + Honey at our new place in Nanaimo. They were great at providing updates and ensuring the doggos were comfortable and happy. Many thanks!

Maria provided amazing care for my young golden retriever over the holidays! She sent updates everyday with photos, brushed him and took him on lots of fun walks. She went above and beyond to make sure my pup was happy and well cared for over the holidays. Her dog Zuko is a sweetheart and played super well with my rambunctious pup. Your pup is in very capable and caring hands with Maria!

Maria was fantastic with our pup! Communicated very well and was very accommodating when we were having to be home late due to ferry times. Hendrix had a fabulous time playing with her dog and was exhausted and happy when we picked him up! We would absolutely ask Maria to sit for us again!

Maria was an amazing dog sitter of our senior dog "Diesel." He is on a complex medication and feeding regime that she managed with ease. She took him on gentle walks as requested and was a reassuring presence for both Diesel and ourselves that he would be well taken care of during our 2 night absence.
