Availability
I'm a recent graduate from Oregon State University. I got my master's degree in Fisheries and Wildlife Science. I moved to the DC area for a job with US Fish and Wildlife Service. I have every other Friday off so I can accommodate early and mid-day requests for those days.

About Maria T.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am very careful with any and every animal. I will lock all doors and ensure all gates are closed. I will ensure they have plenty of food and water and any other pet amenities (e.g. pee pads, litter boxes, etc.) are clean and easily accesible.
Home
Information Maria T. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any special needs, meds, or behaviors. I want to avoid any unnecessary stress caused by a change in routine. I do require meeting all dogs in person before accepting a booking request.
A typical day
We'll go on walks exploring new routes when possible. If there's a dog park, I'd love to take them there. If there's space or they can be off-leash, we can play with a ball until they're tired out.

Pet care experience
I grew up surrounded by a menagerie of pets including birds and reptiles, and of course cats and dogs. Their comfort and security are my top priority. My main objective is to prevent unnecessary stress to any animal. I just moved to Arlington, VA for a job, so I am taking new clients. Note: For all dog walk requests, I require a meet and greet in person before accepting a booking request. *During the ongoing government shutdown I have opened up my availability.
Cat care experience

Maria also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews

Maria was wonderful, as always. Our playful Nobi always has a good time with Maria and Yoda. Thank you!


Another wonderful experience with Maria caring for our dogs in our home!!!!

Thank you, Maria, for taking such excellent care of Mr. Ziggy!!!

Maria is outstanding! She is very conscientious and attentive to detail. Communication with her is very open and easy, as she draws on her extensive experience with cats, including those with special needs and sensitivities. Ultimately, she is very caring and knows what is truly important in Pet Care... ensuring the health, safety, and comfort of your pet. Our cat is very skittish (emotional), and Maria exercised great patience with her, allowing our cat to dictate her pace and space.
