Highlights
Pet care experience
Knowledgeable dog lover & sitter!
Besides taking care of my own precious miniature schnauzer growing up, I have looked over dogs for several families for the past 10+ years with services including boarding, walks, visits and doggy day care for all kinds of breeds. I had to be inactive on rover for a couple of years due to moving but happy to be back! I have also worked as a receptionist/assistant at a Veterinary clinic where I interacted and looked over many different breeds that passed through or stayed over night. During this time I also learned a lot about how to assist dogs with medical issues and important signs of needing urgent care. I have a deep love for all kinds of animals, dogs (& cats!) especially, and would be more than happy to take care of your furry friends just as I would my own! I am more than happy to answer any questions that you may have and will always make sure your dog is happy, comfortable, and well looked after :) I can adjust my schedule to their wake up/meal times as well. On the weekends, I can take them out to dog friendly spaces if that is something they enjoy 😊 Before any stay, I make sure everything is set up for your pup’s arrival and try to make them as comfortable as possible. I have a dog gate to prevent them from getting out or from going anywhere I can’t keep an eye on them. For stays or visits, I don’t take any dog out off leash for walks and I make sure to put on their leash securely before opening the door. If they will be left alone for any reason, I will generally place them in their crate for their safety unless you are comfortable with them being out.

Great as always! Will book with Maria again!
Amazing! Athena and Sonic love her. Very reliable! Absolutely will book with her again!
Maria was AMAZING, took great care of our two beloved dogs. Bella and Brady were let out, fed, and played with, over the Christmas season which was a huge blessing. Maria was friendly, professional, and a caring dog sitter. 10/10 would recommend and rebook with her. Thank you so much Maria!
Maria is always so kind and sweet to my Prince. I trust Maria whole heartedly with my fur baby. She plays with him and makes sure he is cozy and comfy. Top notch!
Maria A. cancelled a booking 2 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Maria is so sweet with my dog and gives him the TLC he surely needs and more. Maria always takes such great care of my Prince and really take the time to get to know his personality.

Schedule
I currently work part time and am usually home all day on Mondays and Fridays, and most of the day on weekends. I'm able to adjust my schedule to accommodate your pets routine better and would also be able to take them with me sometimes!

Safety, trust & environment
Before any stay, I make sure everything is set up for your pup’s arrival and try to make them as comfortable as possible. I have a dog gate to prevent them from getting out or from going anywhere I can’t keep an eye on them. For stays or visits, I don’t take any dog out off leash for walks and I make sure to put on their leash securely before opening the door. If they will be left alone for any reason, I will generally place them in their crate for their safety unless you are comfortable with them being out. As a note, I live in a second floor apartment with my boyfriend (also a huge dog lover that has grown up with dogs). There are stairs and elevator if it is hard for your pup to get up the stairs. We also have a patio that has a pretty high railing, so it is safe, but if I bring your pup out there then they would be leashed and accompanied at all times to ensure their safety.
A typical day
We love to go on walks, to the dog park, and trail walking/running if you’re dog enjoys that! Playing and lots of pets/cuddling. If you’re dog is okay with it/enjoys it I can take them out for drives and to dog friendly restaurants or parks!
