Safety, trust & environment

I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walk times, and play sessions, so they feel secure and cared for. For dogs, I provide regular walks suited to their energy level, making sure they get both exercise and mental stimulation. I monitor water and food intake, keep their living space clean, and give plenty of affection and attention. I’m attentive to body language and behavior so I can respond quickly to any signs of stress or discomfort, and I always send updates and photos so owners can feel at ease while they’re away.

Information Maria B. would like to know about your pet

I will work with any dog as long as I know before hand. I’m good at handling dogs in different situations like a senior dog or even a dog with a special need

A typical day

I love giving dogs something to look forward to. Going on daily walks to stimulate them and give them exercise keeping up with their pace looking at their level of energy. Playing games with toys and spending quality time loving your animals!

Pet care experience

I have 6 years of hands-on pet care experience, starting with my own French Bulldog, who I’ve raised and trained from puppyhood. Over the years, I’ve provided pet sitting, dog walking, and training support for friends, family, and local pet owners outside of Rover. My experience includes feeding and administering basic medications, leash training, crate training, socialization, and creating engaging playtime for dogs of all ages and temperaments. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique needs and focus on keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable while their owners are away.
