Information Maria B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pets need special accommodations. Be sure to let me know if I should look out for undesirable behaviors so I can discourage those during our time together.

A typical day

I like to stimulate dogs physically and mentally so they stay healthy. I am a very active person and will be more than happy to take your dog on a jog/run. Also, it is important to take plenty of time for a slow walk, so dogs get lots of time to pick up new, exiting scents and to find a perfect spot to do their ‘business’.

Pet care experience

I am an IT professional who is VERY passionate about animals 🫶🏻 I even decided to take them off my plate entirely 😅 Working with animals is my form of therapy and a way to exercise. I work from home and pretty much make my own schedule so I am very flexible 🤗 I grew up with dogs, cats and hamsters in the home, and I currently have a dog 🐕, 2 cats 🐈, and a hamster 🐹 I worked for a dog walking company in the past, so I have experience taking care of dogs of different sizes, from Tea Cup Poodles to Newfoundland Retrievers. I also did A Lot of volunteering at no-kill shelters when I was in school. During my Rover ‘career’ I got a chance to learn how to care for other animals: bunnies, parrots and mice😁 I have experience administering medications, including injections (subcutaneous and inter muscular only) PS I take a TON of photos for Rover cards and add notes to them😉 (see examples in my photo gallery)

Maria was amazing! My cat Henri is an anxious kitty; Maria knew exactly what to do to make him feel comfortable and safe! She played extensively with my cat (even brought her own toy) and followed instructions closely. She clearly loves cats and her photos of my cat and visit description clearly displayed that! Maria was so flexible and receptive to a last minute booking I had and I am so appreciative of it. I will be booking again with her in the future!

Maria was great with my dog Miel at first, very communicative and reliable, sending photos and updates, and I was happy with her drop off care three times a week. Then she suddenly stopped showing up without notice, which left me in a difficult situation since I relied on her for my dog. She later mentioned she had been sick, which I completely understand, and we agreed she could come back for the next visit, but she never followed up or responded again.

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.
