I have known Maria for years and I can say with complete confidence that she is one of the most caring and responsible people I know, especially when it comes to animals. She has been Bella’s devoted owner for four years now, and watching how she handles her day to day is truly impressive. Bella is a Sprollie — a Springer Spaniel and Border Collie mix — which means she is an incredibly energetic and intelligent dog that needs constant exercise, mental stimulation and patience. Maria provides all of that and more without a second thought. What really stands out about Maria is how naturally she connects with dogs. She doesn’t just walk Bella, she engages with her — using commands, training techniques and activities that keep Bella stimulated and well behaved. Bella is a testament to the time and effort Maria has put into her care. She is a happy, healthy and beautifully mannered dog because of Maria. I have also seen Maria around other people’s dogs and she brings that same level of attentiveness and warmth to every animal she meets. She is the kind of person who genuinely puts the dog’s comfort and wellbeing first above everything else. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, experienced and truly passionate about pet care, Maria is absolutely the person for the job. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.
