Just a grad student in love w/ dogs

Pet care experience

In early high school, I used to take care of my neighbor’s dog after school by taking her on walks and making sure she had water and dinner before she passed away. I found an opportunity in undergrad to dog sit again! I spent my senior year of undergrad taking care of Max and Kimmy. I would take them on walks and would watch Max when needed too when their mamas weren’t able too. I have also watched some of my other supervisor’s dogs in between!

One of the most challenging aspects of being a graduate student, personally, is the perpetual anxiety that my busy schedule won’t allow enough time for me to care for my dog Max at the level in which I want to. Max deserves consistent walks and attention, and that wasn’t always something that I was able to give him last year. I am a graduate assistant at the University of Hartford, and I was lucky to meet Maya along the way. Maya was a Resident Assistant and we occupied the same building. She was always there for me when I needed someone to take care of Max. Maya and I worked out a system where she would take Max out once or twice a day, depending on how busy my schedule was. Maya is one of the most responsible students that I’ve come across to this day. She is selfless, humorous, and always allowed me to go about my busy days at peace. I trusted her wholeheartedly because of her bright, warm energy and her passion for animals. Maya was enthusiastic, accommodating, reliable, and consistent. I know without a doubt that she will make an exceptional dog sitter and walker. I highly recommend hiring this wonderful human to join your team!

Maya is a wonderful pet sitter. She watched and walked Kimmy every Wednesday through Saturday at 4 o'clock, and Kimmy would be waiting by the door by 3:50 with a waggin tail. My dog adores Maya, and while she may no longer be able to watch Kimmy, I am confident that any pet who has Maya as a pet sitter will adore her as well.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in my client’s home by making sure that they feel safe with me and cleaning up after the pet. Creating a safe and clean environment matters the most to me.

Information Maya G. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know in advance if your dog has any attachment concerns to be aware of possible sadness that might occur, if they require a specific routine, and any allergies they may have.

A typical day

First, when we wake up in the morning, we’ll go for a walk around the neighborhood to get their energy going. Later in the day, we can see if there are any open parks around to play fetch and they can have room to run around.
