Pet care experience

Happy Paws, Happy Hearts 🐾

Hi! My name is Alba, and I’ve had a heart for animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve been caring for pets since I was 15, and for the past 3 years I’ve been a Rover sitter with many amazing recurring clients. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, and fish, and I truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality — I treat every one like part of my own family. I’m currently finishing my Veterinary Assistant Program and will be starting a Veterinary Technician program later this year. I’m CPR and First Aid certified for dogs, cats, and humans, and I have hands-on experience giving medications from my time fostering with Pima Animal Care Center. Pet sitting inspired me to return to school and follow my dream of working in veterinary medicine, and I feel so grateful to do what I love every day. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities — and I can’t wait to meet you and your furry (or scaly!) family members 🐾🤍

Safety, trust & environment

For everyone’s safety and peace of mind, I kindly ask that you include your preferred veterinary clinic and/or emergency clinic, along with an emergency contact, in your profile. In the unlikely event of an emergency during our visit, I will always try to contact you first before reaching out to your emergency contact or clinic. My priority is making sure your pet gets the care they need as quickly as possible while keeping you informed every step of the way 🤍🐾

Albamaria is great. Always willing to work with my schedule. My dog loves the companionship when I work long days.

I can’t say enough pleasant things about her! She came on short notice, was patient, responsive, worked with a stubborn dog to earn her trust. She was professional, trustworthy, kept us updated, as well as making us feel piece of mind knowing out pets were in good hands. I lucked out with my first try on Rover! I will most definitely have Albamaria pet sit for us again. Thank you very much!!! ❤️

Again thank you to Alba for another great critter care!! Alba takes great care of our 'kids' Duncan and Tessa the cats. I have lost track of how many times Alba has taken care of our furry kids. We will be booking two more times in the very near future. Hopefully many more times after that! We consider Alba a very good friend!

Schedule

I have 2 cats, 3 dogs, and 2 gremlins I call my kids. They say it takes a village, so while I'm helping you take care of your furry companions my kids are in school, with their mom, or with their stepdad. I always make sure I set up and care for my fur balls before I leave the house unless my fiancé is home then he's got them.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Albamaria can host up to 6 drop-ins per day
Please let me know if any of your companions have special needs — I have experience giving oral and injectable medications to dogs and cats from my time fostering with PACC, and I’m First Aid certified for cats and dogs through the Red Cross. For safety, please include your preferred vet or emergency clinic and an emergency contact in your profile 🐾🤍
