Can’t wait to meet your furry pals!

Pet care experience

Hi! At 7 years old I was given my best friend, a cavalier king charles spaniel. I had the responsibilities of taking care of her my whole life. She taught me all dogs big and small have their unique ways of being cared for. Penny lived an incredible 15 years, and I miss her every day. Being a Wag Caregiver allows me to be around amazing dogs like Penny. I look forward to meeting your special pups and taking care of them with the same love!

Maria is a fantastic candidate for Rover, the dog walking app. With her extensive experience, genuine love for animals, and strong communication skills, she is the perfect choice. Maria's responsible nature ensures the safety and well-being of every dog she walks. Pet owners can trust her completely. Choose Maria for a reliable and joyful dog walking experience!

Maria is one of the best dog walkers (and people as a whole) that I know. She goes above and beyond for the dogs she walks, making sure they receive adequate exercise and love when their owner is absent. She is also one of the most trustworthy people I know - always on time and will consistently update owners with cute pictures of their pet throughout the walk. If I needed someone to take care of my pet, she is 100% the first person I would call.

Maria has walked my dog for the past year almost every day. She takes great care of him and I have had her house/ let sit many times!
