Hi there!
I'm Maria and I am originally from Paraguay, South America. I've had pets all of my life (dogs, cats, deer, mice, birds, foxes, you name it) up until moving to Canada.
Since I don’t have any pets of my own, due to my current living situation (landlords have allergies), but love being around animals, I signed up for Pawshake.
I’m 31 and have a full-time job working in hospitality and tech in the Harbourfront area of the city. While I'm currently not able to host any pets in my own home, I would love the opportunity to be a dog walker or to do in-home visits for someone's pet while they are away, ensuring the pet is comfortable in its familiar surroundings.
I live in the Greektown area, not terribly far from Riverdale Park East (one of my favourite spots).
I have volunteered at a couple of shelters and humane societies in the past and, while I don't currently volunteer here in Toronto, I do have some experience with rescued animals (mainly dogs and cats).
My times for walks and home visits are pretty flexible on the evenings and weekends.
Daytime during the week is a bit trickier but if the location is close to my office (King West) and I’m available, I’m happy to step out for a walk or home visit.
My work schedule becomes the busiest in July through September so I would have reduced availability during the week and on some weekends until mid September.
Remboursement intégral en cas d'annulation avant midi la veille du début de la réservation, remboursement de 50% si l'annulation survient après cette échéance.
. Aucun remboursement n'est prévu si la réservation est annulée à la date de début de la réservation ou après.
Note : Toutes les heures sont basées sur le fuseau horaire du gardien.
Maria took excellent care of my cat Milo when we were on vacation for 2 weeks. She was very professional, attentive to his needs, and gave him lots of play time and love. She communicated with us throughout our trip and provided timely updates with pictures. We felt very comfortable and at ease with her taking care of him. When we returned, he was very happy and energetic! We would highly recommend Maria for all pet services and would be happy to book with her again in the future.
