Love Dogs and they love me !

Pet care experience

If you trust your dog to me you can rest assure he/she will have someone that really cares and that it will be an amazing experience for your dog! I have been a volunteer for the Animal Rescue League of Boston for over 13 years. I walk their dogs and work with them in basic manners, agility and behavior. I am also a volunteer at NEADS (Dogs for Deaf and Disabled Americans) as a weekend puppy raiser working in socialization and exposing the dog to the different environments he will live in once he is matched with his person. I LOVE dogs and other animals. I am one of the photographers for the ARL of Boston, also do foster care and volunteer at the feral cat clinics (NTR). I have received the Best of Boston Volunteer at the Animal Rescue League of Boston in two occasions. Won a grant for the ARL of Boston for best picture few years ago. You can rest assure your dog will be very happy and very well cared for with me.

I have known Maria for well over a year as a dedicated and loving dog trainer and care giver. As a volunteer at our shelter she takes wonderful pictures of all the animals, she works with the more challenging behavior dogs and is dedicated to the mission of the organization. I personally look forward to those days that I get a chance to work with Maria because she brings a fun loving and caring perspective to her work.

I have seen Maria work with animals for over twelve years in a professional capacity. Maria is a caring and conscientious animal caretaker. She has a natural way with animals, no matter how difficult they may be. The safety and well being of the pet that Maria is caring for always comes first. My pets adore Maria and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Maria is an animal whisperer! She is very experienced with dogs and cats but I have witnessed her making friends with bunnies, ferrets, and rodents as well. She did try her skills out once with a snake..... Does your dog like or need excercise? Maria is your person! Does your kitty need social coaxing? No problem! With Maria's verbal giudance, your pet can become bi-lingual as well! I recently contacted Maria to help me out with a couple of young kittens in need of fostering. And trust me, I would not let just anyone except someone with such honed skills take these fur babies!

Information Maria U. would like to know about your pet

I have NO breed preferences. I would like to know what are your dog favorite things to do.

Is your dog shy? plays well with other dogs. How is your dog behavior with kids, other animals (does he chase squirrels etc)

I can work with your dog in obedience and take some nice walks and play with him/her. I can also administer medicines if needed.
