About

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.

I would give Maria 10 stars if I could. She has been awesome and amazing and we’ve used her many many times over the past year. I have eight big dogs and she takes care of them like she owns them. She is very responsive. - her communication is above reproach. She sends us pictures every day and response every time we write to her. We are so thankful that we found her and intend to keep her for a long, long time.

Maria is awesome-my dogs love her. She checked in with me daily and sent pictures of my pups. I look forward to having her take care of my dogs in the future.

Maria took care of my Frenchie everyday for almost a year. She was amazing with her! She was flexible when I needed her to come at different times and always reliable! I had complete trust and faith in her care for my dog!

Maria was great. Very professional and checked in with me regularly, and included lots of photos of my cats in her text updates. I would definitely love her help in the future.
