My husband and I are renting so unfortunately we can't host pets at our home. I'm more than happy to check in on your animals at your residence. I will leave it cleaner than I found it.

Information Maria B. would like to know about your pet

We won't be looking for a pet sitter for our cat. Thankfully we have an awesome neighbor who looks after him when we're out of town.

A typical day

I'm happy to hang out with your pet at your home, play inside or outside, go for walks or car rides, etc. Whatever is closest to your pet's daily routine.

Pet care experience

I grew up with cats my whole life. I currently have a 13 year old tabby named Charlie. I have watched several cats, dogs, and even chicken over the last 10 years. I am very passionate about animal advocacy. I previously worked at NOAH Animal Shelter and Brigadoon Service Dogs. I recently watched six goats for the first time and had a blast! They have a lot of personality and love affection. So I am also available to watch small farm animals.

I booked 30-minute drop-in visits and clearly communicated expectations during the meet-and-greet and via the app. Despite this, an unauthorized guest entered my home during the booking, and visits lasted significantly less than the agreed-upon 30 minutes. Due to these issues, Rover issued a refund.

Maria is wonderful and I can’t recommend her enough! She is a great communicator and it has been such a comfort knowing that my dogs are so well-cared for when she’s here.

Maria is incredible! Took such good care of our old and young cat! They were well taken care of! Definitely trusted Maria and knew my kitties were in good hands!

We have a bit of a high strung but sweet dog and leaving her in Maria’s care is a huge blessing. She truly treats my gal as if she were her own and Lila absolutely adores her! It is such a relief knowing that Lila won’t just receive basic care but all of the affection and love she would normally get. Maria is reliable, kind, experienced, and a true animal lover, and we are so grateful we found her!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
