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 for a year and a half 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! am available for dog walking or a stop in visits. 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 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.

Every time Maria walks my Jack Russell terrier, Louie, he always has a blast! He enjoys playing with Ruby and gets lots of exercise through the day. I know he will be safe and comfortable when staying or walking with Maria. I would definitely recommend her for your pet!

Maria is great with all animals, and has a special knack for getting dogs to trust and obey her. She is a highly motivated pet care worker that I can’t recommend her enough. Whenever Maria would watch our animals (4 cats and 1 dog) I never had to worry about their well-being or safety.
