Information Maria P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or tendencies! I want to make sure I prepare for our visit as best as I can and want to do my best to make sure your pet is comfortable especially if it’s the first couple times they are meeting me!

A typical day

I will play whatever your pets favorite activity is! My dog personally enjoys learning new tricks but I’m open to tricks, fetch, seek and find, or just some pets and cuddles!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Maria and I am very excited to meet your furry friend! I’ve raised 2 large dogs and 2 small dogs so I am comfortable with any size pet. I also worked at a doggie day care center where I worked with all size dogs for 8 plus hours at a time and facilitated friendly play so I am able to handle multiple dogs or cats at a time! I live in the mentor area but am willing to travel as well. Please let me know if this is the type of sitter you are looking for!

Maria was very professional and caring. She sent pictures of my 8 year old dog during his stay. I could tell from the pictures that my dog was calm and relaxed at her home. It was a very good experience overall.

Maria was the absolute best! We’ve never boarded our dogs before so we were nervous but she was so amazing with them. She sent us updates and photos throughout their stay to show us how much fun they had. She was so great with keeping their schedule to help with normalcy. Her dog is also so cute! If we ever need anyone again we will definitely be going back to her!

Maria is a very caring, loving and compassionate young lady who loves, loves animals. i always felt that i could trust Maria with my dogs which is so comforting to a dog parent. I would highly recommend Maria. Dogs love Maria and you can trust that your dog will wag his/her tail the whole time Maria is with them.
