Hi there! My name is Maryann and I can't wait to meet you and your dog. I was inspired to become a pet sitter by my absolute love of animals. I provide dog boarding and day care, and my goal is to make sure your animal feels at home while you are away. I am a Licensed Veterinary Technician and have worked with veterinarians since 1998. I have volunteered at the Los Angeles Zoo, various animal shelters, and Good Hope Equestrian Training Center where disabled children and veterans get to ride a horse. I have experience caring for all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles and more. I love them all. I have been caring for pets all of my life. It's my passion! You and your dog will just love that I am totally devoted to the animals in my care. Their happiness, comfort and health are my number one priority. My experience as a Licensed Veterinary Technician makes me very attuned to any health issues or stress signals a dog may be exhibiting. I understand dog body language and always listen to what they're trying to tell me. I don't rush or pressure animals to be friends with me, I wait for them to warm up! I am so excited to meet you and your furry family member. Let's set up a meet and greet to see if we'd be a good match!
