**Just to start, If you are reading my reviews, My birth name was Wendy. I actually legally changed my name to Maria in 2020. I have been asked this a few times, so I thought I would add it to my profile.** I have experience with dogs, I have owned a few and babysat a few. In my home I have two girls that LOVE pets. We would love the company of your pet. I am a complete animal lover. I can't explain how much I love animals. I can assure that I will do my best and I always ask questions if I am unsure. Look forward to meeting you! I am very accomodating to the owners wishes. If you wish to know anything else, please send me a message and I will be more then happy to reply :) My shoes will be off at the door. I will notify you upon arrival, and exit. Also I clean up any pet messes that are made while I am there. Please be assured that your pet is in the best care :) If your distance is far, please note that extra fees may apply. I am usually home. I usually drive my partner to work for his mid afternoon start, and pick him up after work to take him home, I do ha e two children but they usually come with me. They are very sweet and well behaved children I am a very honest woman. I care about people, and I absolutely LOVE pets. My #1 rule is I always take care of the house as if it were made of gold. Your pets dishes will be cleaned everyday, I will do some light chores while at your place. I clean up messes, I feed your pet, change their water so they have fresh cold water. Scoop litter, take your dog for a walk, etc. Playtime is ways important. However, if you have a shy, timid or a cautious animal, we maje a few attempts to play and if they are still hiding or afraid, we try to ease them. By treats, talking, etc, if you ever have questions please feel free to ask. I am a Complete open book. I offer checking in status, I always ask questions and give updates.
