Pet care experience
From the ages of 8-14, my family trained three Guiding Eyes for the Blind dogs. I learned I love dogs then, and working with them is what I've always wanted. Training those dogs taught me patience and positive attitude, knowing that whatever attitude I portrayed, the dog would mimic. In addition, I volunteered at the Washington Animal Rescue League in Washington D.C for 3 years. During my time there, I learned how to interact with all different breeds. I also helped socially adapt more nervous dogs to be more calm, and to be ready for adoption. I'm interested in caring for others' dogs to share that positive attitude and meet new dog friends! Since I have lots of experience working with all breeds and sizes of dogs, I'm flexible in whatever is thrown at me. I currently have a yellow lab named Gerard, whom I adore. We go on long walks on the canal, play outside, and occasionally goto the dog park. I'm a flexible, hard-working individual that loves to share my love of dogs with others. If hired, I will work hard to make you and your dog comfortable with the services I bring.
Reviews
Maya is one of the best dog sitters I've ever met! She was very quick to respond to my request and set up a meet & greet. At the meet& greet, she made notes about important things I told her about my dogs medication, and asked questions that I had not thought of and will be adding to my information sheet. She was so sweet with my dog and amazing at communicating with me while I was away, I never felt like I had anything to worry about. I not only feel confident in Maya's ability to take care of my dog while I am away, but I look forward to having Maya watch my dog whenever I need! I highly recommend Maya to anyone who wants their pet in amazing hands when they’re at work/out of town!
Maya is very responsible and friendly. She clearly loves dogs! She took great care of our senior dog when we went away for a weekend.
Maya is so great! Easygoing, reliable and understood right away that we were looking for someone we could trust with a senior dog.
Maya is the most loving, kind pet sitter and extremely trustworthy. Her love for every dog shows the minute she meets your four-legged friend. She cares for your pet like her own. I have trusted Maya numerous times with pet sitting my 7 year old beagle rescue, Paisley. Paisley is usually skittish and uncertain around new people, but almost immediately warmed up to Maya. We've trusted her to stay at our house and kept everything clean (sometimes cleaner than when we left) and sent us updates with pictures about her adventures with Paisley. She is always the person I can count on and feel comfortable knowing my dog is in good hands!

Information Maya W. would like to know about your pet
I'd like to know their favorite treats, if they're scared of anything (i.e thunderstorms), if I should avoid taking them certain places, and if they warm up to people easily!
A typical day
I enjoy bringing dogs to local dog parks and running around with them in a fenced area.
