A tired dog is a good dog!
Pet care experience
My family always had a dog when I was growing up, but Matilda was the name of the first dog I had the honor of caring for on my own. She came from the shelter in Big Pine in the Eastern Sierra and we were the perfect match. The bond we had and the times we shared definitely informs how I show up for all the dog friends I have now :) Specialized Experience includes: -Training and running sled dogs -Experience with Senior dogs and Hospice care -Puppy training experience -Harness training for skijouring
Reviews
Maria is an exceptionally caring and wonderful individual! My husband and I have left our dog with her on several occasions for up to 2 weeks at a time. Our dog has behavioral problems including dog aggression and there are only a couple of people we trust her with and Maria is one of them. Maria even helped our dog heal from her hip injury by giving her massages and a gentle exercise regime! I highly recommend her for short or long term doggy care!
Maria is an awesome individual who absolutely loves animals! She cares for them as if they were her own children and pampers, plays, trains and grooms them with compassion and empathy. She has extensive experience and knowledge of dogs and chickens! She is extremely dependable and responsible. I also found her to be refreshingly trustworthy and honest.
