I am home for the summer after graduating college and will be attending veterinary school at VMCVM in the fall! Animals are my whole life so besides also working at the VEG ER for Pets in Falls Church this summer I would love to get some more pet time by doing Rover :)

About Maia K.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have worked as a Veterinary Nurse for the last 4 years, including 1.5 at a high-volume emergency hospital. I am certified in pet CPR and first aid, and have loads of experience administering medication (oral, subcutaneous, intramuscular, etc.). I also always say that if I wasn't going into vetmed I would have wanted to be a professional groomer - I looove giving a good spa day! Other than that, I’m great at being punctual and will make sure everything your pet needs will be at the right time, place, and the right thing. Both my work experience and my passion for vetmed fuel me to make sure your kiddos have the best experience possible, whether it’s walking, dropping in or overnight stays!
Information Maia K. would like to know about your pet
I’m big on routines, so it’s helpful to have some instructions ahead of time to help me take care of your pup as best as possible when you’re gone. I usually ask about feeding habits/schedules, favorite toy/s, favorite spots to walk. If they require any medication, if there are any rules you have for them while you’re away (e.g. no sitting on the bed, stuff like that). How much exercise they need per day, if they have any fears (e.g. thunderstorms) or aggressions/nervousness (e.g. child or dog) so I can make sure to look out for them like they’re my own.
A typical day
I love going on walks in nearby parks or forest areas, I know a few quiet spots as well if your dog isn’t a dog or child person. My own dog has way too many toys that she’s happy to share, or if I’m staying over I love a good game of tug-of-war! If your dog is more laid back, that totally works for me too. I would cuddle on the couch all day if I could :)

Happy pet, no sweat!
Pet care experience
I have experience with all shapes and sizes of dogs and cats, as well as reptiles (I even have one of my own, his name is Ollie)! I have experience with administering oral, topical and subQ medication as well as things like inhalers. In addition to feeding the pets, walking dogs and changing cat litter, I particularly love just spending time with your pups and kitties and giving them whatever they need to be happy. I could spend hours brushing cats or dogs and routinely give baths for my puppy, Samoa. I’m a big cuddler but also love a good hike in the forest.
Reviews
Amazing job! Took such good care of my doggie and left the house spotless. 10/10 would book again and highly recommend!!
Excellent work! Wally had a great time and the house was kept extremely clean. Absolutely will book again and highly recommend to anyone reading.
This was my first time using Rover so I was a little nervous, but Maia was amazing! Great communication, great care, and remained patient when my pup would get a little rowdy. I loved all of the pictures and could tell my Bruce loved being with her!
Maia was amazing! She took on a last minute booking for us and was really flexible. Got great timely updates from her and even though we weren’t very responsive she made sure to send us loads of pictures. Would highly recommend her!
