About Maria

have completed animal science and pre-veterinary courses at the University of Minnesota, which have provided me with a strong foundation in animal care and behavior. My lifelong love for animals, has driven me to gain hands-on experience working with a variety of pets. I have volunteered with rescue dogs, where I assisted in their socialization, exercise, and overall care, helping them adjust to new environments and preparing them for adoption. I have experience boarding dogs in my pet-friendly apartment, where I provide a safe and comfortable environment. Outside of academics and work, I enjoy staying active, and one of my favorite activities is taking pets on walks or spending time outdoors with them. This allows me to combine my passion for fitness with providing animals the exercise, enrichment, and companionship they need. My background, along with my dedication to responsible and loving care, makes me confident in my ability to provide excellent care for your pets
