Hi, my name is Maria. I have cared for dogs and cats and fish for most of my life. As a child I adored playing with our German Shepherds and Siamese cats. I have cared for a sweet Golden Retriever named Goldie and my son's adorable chocolate Labrador Retriever named Leo. Currently I work in a hospital where service dogs come in and visit with our patients. Dogs and cats are so special and they make such a positive influence on people. I have a flexible schedule and I am available at a last minute contact. I will be happy to help you in any way to care for your precious dog or puppy, cat or kitten.
