Pet care experience
I have been caring for animals all my life and still to this day am amazed by the uniqueness of each one. I love getting to know a dog's personality and how I can help them have an attention-filled experience. Growing up, I was part of 4-H and pet care was a big part of that education. From this experience I learned how to read a dog's behavior and how to respond in various situations. I'm also patient and gentle, which is import for dogs with timid or anxious personalities. I've worked with dogs from puppy to adulthood and have even had the amazing opportunity to watch a couple litters be born. I can feed, walk, sit, work on tricks/obedience, and potty your pup. In addition, I currently have one dog, a full-blooded Border Collie who is a sucker for frisbee.
Reviews
Very sweet and enjoyable person, went out of her way to make sure everything went smoothly. She expertly cared for my older dog and his various health issues, for which I cannot thank her enough. I felt confident she could handle the tasks after she explained how she is also a dog breeder. All around 10 out of 10 sitter. Highly recommend.
Maria is a kind and loving young woman who would treat your pet with kindness. She has always been an animal lover having many pets of her own over the years. She is responsible, a hard worker and level headed with plenty of energy to devote to a pet in need.

Information Maria S. would like to know about your pet
I specifically want to know if there are any negative behaviors that require special attention. Are there any known fears that the dog has and/or triggers that could put the dog and myself at risk. What are the pet owner's special guidelines for the pet. Is it okay to reward with treats? I have no special preferences as to breed. Each one has their unique set of traits.
A typical day
On walks, I take dogs to pet friendly parks where they can experience nature and have some space to play. I love to play frisbee and fetch, work on obedience and tricks, and work at the pace of each pup I encounter as some are higher energy, while others require gentle exercise and play.
