About Maria

I am warm, fun-loving and joyful ! I like working with animals because I find it rewarding to care for their physical and emotional wellbeing. I would like to offer exceptional and compassionate care for client's companion animals to afford them peace of mind when they need to be away from home. I began fostering animals from the Arizona Humane Society over 15 years ago when I adopted my own pets from their shelter. I recently updated my foster training with them to include care of animals recovering from orthopedic injuries and neonatal kittens. I enjoy dancing as an avid ballroom dance student and competitor; daily personal yoga practice .. And I love being outdoors to swim, hike, bike, walk or run! I have my bachelor's degree in biology and attended medical school so I am very comfortable administering medication. I am calm, caring and attuned to animals body language.
