Introduction: Hi. My name is Maria and I have always loved working with animals. I have been helping out at a dog rescue for the last 8 years and in doing so I have learned a lot about caring for many breeds of dogs. Being a certified vet assistant has given me experience in caring for many animals and their individual needs. If you are looking for someone who will care for your animals as if they were their very own, look no further. I look forward to meeting your fur babies. I have references upon request. I love working with animals of all shapes and sizes. I enjoy taking dogs for walks and giving all fur babies a lot of snuggle time and individual attention when I am with them. My passion is animals, and my desire is to keep them happy and entertained so they are not stressed and anxious when their family comes home.

Maria was wonderful when she took care of my cat Cody. She was very thorough on her initial visit to meet Cody and me and asked all the right questions. She sent pictures several times and kept me up to date on Cody’s activities. I’m already planning on using Maria’s services on my next trip. She’s the best!

Maria is the best. That’s what Diego (the cat) thinks and I agree. She’s the only one we’ll call when we need a pet sitter again.

Having Maria take care of my 2 dogs while I was away left me with peace of mind. I didn't have to worry that they would go without a thing. She sent me photos and text messages and I'm grateful for her TLC.

I have a crazy schedule so having Maria work with me and being flexible really is a plus! She's sweet and Auko loves going for walks with her! I get text on feeding and photos that really sets aside my worries! Thank you!

Maria is a loving and caring person and she shows that to your special pets. I have extremely scared dogs and she knows just how to deal with them.
