About the caregiver

Hi! My name is Maria and I am a pet mom to three cats, and a dog! I have worked as a dog handler, or what we refer as a pack leader, at a doggy daycare located in the West Loop neighborhood in the past for over two years and I’ve also worked at an animal hospital. I am certified in canine first aid, and I usually spend around 8-9 hours a day with medium to big dogs and also cats. I have gained a lot of experience by spending time with dogs that have different behaviors, from friendly to aggressive, I have not faced any issues with dogs yet. I have also spent time around dogs that require special care, so that would definitely not be an issue with me. Overall, I am always willing to spend time with doggies, even friends call me the dog whisperer :)
