Pet care experience

Pet lover

I have a lot of experience with elderly dogs. The last dog I adopted was 16 years old when I picked him up from the shelter; he had been left there over COVID and he required a lot of nail care, tooth brushing, and regular bathing. I have patience for older dogs and I think that they're just as precious as puppies.

Maria has been phenomenal with both of my dogs! She's been understanding, enthusiastic, and caring. I would absolutely recommend Maria to anyone looking for pet care!

Words cannot express how amazing Maria is with animals. I have two senior animals, a cat and dog. She went above and beyond with both. She even bathed my senior dog and clipped her nails. When my dog hears Maria's name,she perks up like she's a puppy again. Any time I leave town and need someone I trust with my babies, I call Maria.

Maria watched my elderly disabled cat Luna. She is a black cat and I don't trust everyone to take good care of a black cats since some people have superstitions. She took good care of Luna. 5/5

I don't have any breed preferences, I love all dogs. I also really love cats. I feel pretty comfortable watching or checking on any pet as long as they're not a biter. While I am watching your dog or walking them, I'd love to know their preferences. -Does your dog listen better after I make them sit? is there any specific training you've done with them regarding hand signals? -Does your dog have any triggers? Will they nip if I try to bathe them? I am okay with that, I just need to know ahead of time so I can take necessary precautions to keep us both safe. -What is your preferred method of reward when your dog is behaving? -How far would you like me to walk your dog?
