VETERINARY TECHNICIAN LOVES PETS!

Pet care experience

I live on the second floor of 3 unit apartment complex. It is a private walk up with my own entrance. The grounds are gated and safe for pets. I live just north of Abbott Kinney in Venice so plenty of fun walks and dog friendly places to go! My apartment is spacious 2 bedroom with hard wood floors. I have no pets currently so your pet with be the top dog or cat! About this sitter: Hi, My name is Maura and I am a friendly fully trained Veterinary Technician and animal lover to pamper and take great care of your loved ones. I offer a wide range of services for you and your dogs needs. I offer everything and anything from walking, dog park trips, feeding, and of course pampering and play time. I can also administer oral medications, SQ fluids, insulin and allergy shots, bandage changes, nail trims, baths, etc. Pets are like family and I am here to ensure you that they are in capable hands while you are away. I have extensive experience with all types of dogs from newborn puppies, geriatric, special needs, medical issues, and varying behaviors. My training as taught me how to treat certain types of behaviors such as fear aggression with people or other dogs. I am patient and take my time getting to know you and your dog in these special circumstances. I have over 10 years of experience as a Veterinary Technician and pet sitter. And 20 plus years as an animal lover! I graduated with a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Animal Science. Certified Veterinary Technician, Certification in small animal Emergency Care. I am not your average pet sitter and truly pride myself on my education and passion about the care of animals.

The perfect sitter, put me at ease and took great care of my two Frenchies. I will definitely be using Maura again and I suggest you do the same. Total rockstar.

Maura was amazing with our girls! We had a pretty last minute need and she saved the day. She sent pictures, provided feedback, and put us at ease. Couldn’t ask for a better experience.

Maura is an exceptional dog walker. We recently got a 90 lbs rescue german shepherd; we wanted to be careful when choosing a walker. Maura goes out of her way to make sure that you and your dog are comfortable when you first meet her! She is calm, dependable, confident, and kind. Our dog absolutely loves her!

Maura was amazing with Cody! He's a very nervous little Chihuahua, so I really hate leaving him, but Maura was great at handling all his quirks as well as my neurotic-ness. She sent me lots of adorable photos and videos throughout her two week stay with Cody. He seemed happy and healthy, and it was so comforting knowing he was having a good time. I'm sure Cody can't wait for her to come back next time I'm away.
