Hi everyone! My name is Maria (for some reason the app used my last name as my first so I’m sorry about that). I recently graduated from nursing school and am currently studying for my NCLEX, which gives me a pretty flexible schedule and lots of time to help with dog walking, dog sitting, and other pet care needs. I've always loved dogs and animals in general, and l've spent years caring for my family's and friends' pets just because I enjoy it. A lot of my experience hasn't been paid since I usually helped out for free, but I always treat every pet like they're my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. My nursing background has helped me become very responsible, patient, and attentive, which definitely carries over into how I care for animals. In the future, I plan to go back to school to pursue vet school while working as a nurse, since caring for both people and animals is something I'm really passionate about. I'd love the chance to help care for your dog and give you peace of mind while you're away.
