10 years of experience

Safety, trust & environment

I have a double door gated area, no yard but I keep an eye on my dogs whenever they outside or I am walking them. My space is one floor and open so they are free to roam. When I am able to drive I take them to the dog park. I follow through with medical instructions whenever my pets or my siblings pets need to take antibiotics of some sort. Within the property I live in, there is one large husky/german sheppard mix that will hangout in the front yard as my sister works offsite. If your dog is okay with other dogs then they are welcome to play togeher. If this would not be feasible then I am able to relocate the husky mix to the backyard of the property.

Information Maria S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet requires 24-hour care due to medication and food sensitivities. Additionally, if they require vet visit while away, please let me know the information firsthand. I also have two cats in the homeand one large dog (my sister's dog), who is very friendly and vaccinated

A typical day

let me know what your typical day is with your fur baby so I can do my best to model that and maintain routine! I enjoy doing trail hikes, walking paths within the city, or going to the dog beach. During down time, letting the pet lay on the dog bed I have or couch and read/work on a puzzle while they are by my side.

Pet care experience

I am a work-from-home therapist and have two cats in the home. I am open to doing drop-in visits or house-sitting services. I have been a pet parent for over ten years. I am an avid animal advocate and have experience tending to animals with medical needs such as my own requiring medication daily. I am open to caring for senior fur babies as well as cats. I have experience working at an animal shelter, tending to their kennels and providing enrichment time. I have taken care for large dogs, medium dogs, and small dogs are my speciality.

Maria is a caring person. She truly loves pets. She has taken great care of our dog. Our dog seemed to very much enjoy her time with her, she had a lot of fun going for walks and being able to relax afterwards. Thank You !

Maria is great with managing animals with behaviors, very compassionate, and is really big on safety. My dog is fearful/aggressive. She able to build rapport, gain her trust and manage her behaviors. She really is exceptional with animals. I would trust her with my baby anytime.
