Fun/Loving Pup Mom - Home Full Time

Pet care experience

Hi I'm Maria, a long time animal lover with 12 years experience caring for family and friends pets of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments; from labs, cats, to gerbils! I myself am also the proud dog mom (and best friend) to Artichoke, a 7 year old fun loving & calm long haired chihuahua! I happen to be the go to dog watcher for friends and family! I do everything from dog walking, house sitting, weekend stays and even puppy play dates for doggie socializing! I've recently moved back to Philadelphia, a city I love so dearly, from living in Virginia for 3 years. I take pride in providing a safe and fun environment for your pup while you are away! I look forward to helping you and your pet while re-exploring Philly, 1 fire hydrant at a time!

Maria is a dream! She is so communicative, kind, and thorough. I'm so glad to have found her and my dog loves his walks with her. She is the best walker we've had yet and we are so appreciative of her!

Maria is great! She’s very patient and on time, and Marceline loves her. She communicates very well, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a walker.

Information Maria V. would like to know about your pet

To provide the best care to you and your pup, please let me know anything and everything that is important to you and your dog! Medical history, preferences for social activities, personality, any quirks, anxieties, preferences on food/water/walks/etc. pretty much anything that will ease your mind and allow your pet to have the absolute best time :) No breed preferences on this end!

A typical day

I'm flexible! If you the owner have any recommendations we will proceed with that first and foremost. If you and your dog have a routine route and or a favorite park I'm happy to keep with tradition. I'll typically walk within the area of the dogs home or to any parks nearby! If your dog enjoys the dog park, I am happy to take them to play a little fetch or just roam and relax outside! I want you to have peace of mind and your pup to be absolutely comfortable. So don't hesitate to provide a special request or recommendation (within reason) that will help me give the best care!
