Albamaria can care for
Availability
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.

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 🤍🐾
Information Albamaria V. would like to know about your pet
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 🐾🤍
A typical day
Drop-Ins Before every visit, I carefully review your care instructions so I can provide the best possible care for your companion. When I arrive, I gently call for them by name and take time to help them feel comfortable with me. I usually sit nearby on the floor so they can approach at their own pace, and with your approval, I may offer treats to help build trust. Once your pet feels at ease, I take care of all their needs. If the weather is nice and your pet enjoys being outdoors, we’ll go for a relaxing neighborhood walk or spend time playing in the backyard. If they’re more of a couch potato, we’ll snuggle up while I give plenty of pets and attention. After every visit, you’ll receive a detailed update in my notes letting you know what we did, how your pet was feeling, and anything important from our time together. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away — and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands 🐾🤍 Dog Walking Before every walk, I review your pup’s care instructions and take time to help them feel comfortable before heading out. Safety always comes first — I make sure leashes and harnesses are secure and tailor each walk to your dog’s energy level and pace. Whether your pup loves long strolls, stopping to sniff everything, or prefers a relaxed walk, I make sure they have a fun and positive outing. Along the way, they’ll get lots of praise and affection. After every walk, you’ll receive a detailed update on how your pup did, where we went, and any potty breaks or special moments. My goal is to make every walk safe, happy, and enriching — and to send your furry friend home feeling loved 🐾🤍

Pet care experience
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 🐾🤍

Reviews
Alba was amazing! I had to book last minute due to a medical issue with my dog. She not only provided all the care my dog needed, but also made sure to keep me posted and send me private photos. I looked forward to her notes every day, they cracked me up! Eevie could not have been in better hands while I was away! Alba even cleaned up a few dishes before heading out.. im so appreciative for that!
Albamaria did a great job taking care of our Guinea pigs and kitties! They are needy and have confusing instructions, but she handled it really well :) We will definitely be using her services again!
Alba is a great communicator and took great care of our pups!
Albamaria is great. Always willing to work with my schedule. My dog loves the companionship when I work long days.
