My name is Maria, I currently have a very active but loyal border collie as my pet. He has encouraged and motivated me lately to try and share my passion of dogs with others. We enjoy early morning hiking, beach trips and love our local dog park. I am a firm believer in positive reinforcement and would not only walk or care for your pet, but even work on everyday habits that can make life easier with your furry best friend. I am extremely patient with dogs, work a full time job but have a lot of free time after work/on the weekends and would love to fill my extra time helping and caring for other dogs.
