Information Maya G. would like to know about your pet

It would be very helpful to know their preferences, any quirks or behaviors I should be aware of so we can have a fun and safe time. It's especially important to know if the pet gets along with other animals (fellow pets/squirrels) and if they do well on walks with all the extra stimuli. This information will ensure your pet's safety and mine.

A typical day

I love to go to Sandy Bottom park, Newport News, and the trails at Nolan Trail. Playing fetch and playing tug-of-war are classic go-tos. I will make sure to ask what are your pet's favorite activities and try to mimic your schedule so they feel more comfortable.

Pet care experience

I love to take dogs for long walks, hang out at the park, cuddle on the couch, or playing ball at the park. Whatever your furry friend needs, I can do. I have experience with puppies to senior dogs. I babysit as well so I have a lot of patience and love to give. I am an engineer for Hampton and am completing my masters at ODU. So I have problem solving skills, determination and dedication. I have a lighter schedule on the weekends and just enjoy being with dogs so hanging out with your fur-baby is win-win-win (you, your dog and I). Plus I am trying to pay for my masters. I have the capacity for keeping up with curious puppies and high-energy, big dogs. My priority is safety, fitness and helping meet your schedule cause I know life can be crazy!

Maya was a lifesaver when our holiday plans changed last minute and we needed a drop in sitter! She was super responsive and sent thorough updates on our pup! We will definitely be using her services again in the future!
