Olive had such a wonderful time with Maria and her daughter. They had a wonderful adventure in the city. I couldn’t be more happy about trusting them with my pup.

Bailey stayed with Maria and Miranda May 1-10 while we were on vacation. Being a senior dog, he was some accommodations which Maria was able to manage. Miranda did a great job at the meet and greet getting all the important info. We received several photos and updates while we were away which made leaving him much easier.

We had another wonderful experience with Amber’s sitter, Maria and her daughter. Amber can be quite particular, but she was truly treated like royalty during her stay. It’s clear they went far beyond just meeting basic care needs - they spent genuine, quality time interacting, playing, and making sure she felt comfortable and happy. This was Amber’s second stay with Maria, and it was so reassuring to see how quickly she settled in and how strong a bond she’s built with them. That kind of connection doesn’t happen by chance - it really speaks to the care and attention they provide. Maria was also incredibly accommodating and flexible, especially when it came to Amber’s special needs, which we really appreciate. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing Amber was in such kind, attentive hands. I received daily updates from Maria (lots of pictures!) I'm very grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to book again!

Maria is really great. Anuky had an amazing time with her. We feel confident and leave without any worries. We know she will take a good care of our best friend.

Schedule

😍 We’re a dog loving duo (mom and daughter) with big hearts and even bigger dreams of having a dog of our own one day. But since city living has turned dog ownership into a bit of a luxury, we’ve found the next best thing, being the ultimate dog sitters! Spending time with pups of all sizes and personalities feels like a daily pass to Disneyland, every month brings a new furry friend, and we’re here for it! My daughter has been campaigning hard for a dog (seriously, she's at pro-level), so getting to care for different dogs is her absolute favorite thing. We live in a cozy two-story home with a dog park just around the corner, perfect for daily walks and playtime! I work full time from home, so your pup will have plenty of company throughout the day. While our backyard is unfenced, we always ensure safe and supervised outdoor time.

A typical day

🙃 We love keeping pups active and happy! Depending on their energy, we’ll go for walks, play with toys, or do fun brain games with treats. For more relaxed dogs, we’ll enjoy cuddle time, brushing, or just chilling together. We always follow their pace to make sure they feel safe and loved.

📝 Please share any specific needs or routines they follow, such as feeding schedules, exercise habits, or any medications they might require. I’d also love to know about their temperament, how they get along with other pets or people, and if there are any behaviors I should be aware of (like anxiety or fears). Lastly, knowing their favourite activities and treats will help me make sure they feel right at home!
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.
