I’m currently a part-time student and not working a full-time job, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for pets like dogs and cats. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feedings, or just keeping them company, I’m available to provide reliable, loving care when you need it most.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and any special care your pet may need. I also make sure to give them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I treat your home with respect and always leave things clean and tidy.

Information Maria A. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I’d love to know about their routine, personality, and any special needs. Do they have any medical conditions, allergies, or medications? Are there any triggers I should be aware of, such as other animals or loud noises? I also want to know what they enjoy, including favorite toys, walking routes, or cuddle preferences, so I can make them feel as comfortable and happy as possible while you’re away.

A typical day

I love spending quality time with pets and keeping them happy and engaged! For dogs, that might include walks around the neighborhood, playtime with their favorite toys, tug-of-war, or a good game of fetch. For cats, I enjoy interactive play with feather wands, laser pointers, or just cozy cuddle sessions if they’re more low-key. I always try to match the pet’s energy and personality to make sure they’re having fun, feeling loved, and staying active.

Loving Pet Care Just Like Home 🐾

Pet care experience

Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve grown up with small dog breeds and have cared for them at every life stage—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and gentle care. I currently care for a senior pup of my own, so I’m comfortable administering medications, keeping a consistent routine, and watching for signs of discomfort or anxiety. In addition to dogs, I’ve also looked after cats, birds, rabbits, and even reptiles. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, and I take the time to make sure each one feels safe, happy, and cared for. What sets me apart is the personal connection I build with animals. I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel loved and secure while you’re away.

We needed boarding on short notice, and Maria responded right away. As a first-time Rover user, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but she made the entire experience seamless. She was incredibly communicative and kind, sending photos and updates of my cat at least three times a day. She was also thoughtful and accommodating throughout the entire stay. I can’t recommend her highly enough!
