About Maria
Experience: 1 yr
Hi, I'm Maria! I'm a retired 2nd grade teacher after 33 wonderful years of teaching, and I occasionally substitute at elementary schools. I'm a lifelong dog lover and love spending time at home with my two dogs--a mini Sheepadoodle and a rescue American Foxhound mix. I've also owned a 140-lb Newfoundland and a 60-lb Coonhound mix, so I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities! I've been married for over 30 years and have two wonderful daughters. I'm caring, patient, dependable, and responsible, and I'll treat your pets like they're part of my own family. When I'm not with my dogs, I love Snoopy, writing poems for fun, and spending time at the beach. I'd love to give your pup plenty of love, playtime, walks, and attention!
Most recent review
Maria provided exceptional care for my dog, Ambrose. She exceeded every expectation, offering attentive, thoughtful service. Ambrose enjoyed playing catch outdoors and spending time with her, and it was incredibly reassuring to know he was safe, happy, and well cared for while my family and I were away.
