Pet care experience

I can’t wait to meet your sweeties!

I have had dogs my whole life. My job has been to feed them, give them water, clean up after them, take them for walks, and give them medication. I also currently have a senior dog, so I have some experience with them! I have experience with small and big dogs alike.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

We have a fenced yard at home. Still, I watch my dogs just in case. In spring/summer I check for ticks every time they go out. When we go on walks, I am always diligent when we pass another dog. If my dogs aren't up for walks, especially my senior dog, we go out into the backyard and play fetch or run around.

Maria is a very responsible and loving pet caregiver. She was caring for my three dogs once while I was away in North Carolina. She texted updates and was super attentive to my oldest dog, asking if certain behaviors were normal or whether she should take him to an emergency vet. If I am ever away for an evening or more, I am confident that Maria will follow the dogs' schedules, feed them appropriately (they all eat different food), and provide lots of snuggles!

Maria has cared for my dog several times while I’ve been away, and I trust her completely. She is honest, reliable, and extremely responsible. As a college student, she balances her commitments very well and always communicates clearly and promptly. Most importantly, Maria is kind, patient, and very loving with animals. My dog is always happy and well cared for when staying with her, which gives me great peace of mind while I’m away. She is considerate, dependable, and truly treats pets like family. Plus she sends pictures daily which I love! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for safe, loving, and trustworthy pet care.
