Pet care experience

Trusted Pet Care Pro

I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments for years and am experienced with puppies, senior dogs, and administering medications. Families rely on me to maintain feeding schedules, reinforce basic training, manage high-energy play, and provide attentive senior support. I prioritize safety, structure, and clear communication so owners feel fully confident their pets and homes are in responsible hands.

Safety, trust & environment

I maintain a clean, structured, and pet-safe environment whether I’m in a client’s home or hosting in mine. I follow feeding schedules, crate routines, medication instructions, and behavioral guidelines carefully. I studied basic veterinary care, so I am comfortable monitoring health changes, administering medications, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort. I treat every home respectfully and keep owners updated with photos and clear communication.

House Sitting • Aug 14, 2023

Maria was a wonderful dog sitter for our girl, Truffle. She took her for regular walks and kept us updated with lots of cute photos while we were away.

I have known Maria for 8 years and watched her grow up into a responsible, loving and caring person. I’ve trusted her with my own pets and they love her ! My moms dogs also love her , even the “mean” one that’s very picky about who pets him. I know that whatever Maria does , it will be professional and done right . She loves all creatures and it shows when she’s around them. I have been a rover sitter for 6 years and I highly recommend Maria for any pet care jobs .

Schedule

I work from home, which allows me significant flexibility for walks and drop-ins. I’m available throughout the day for potty breaks, feeding, and check-ins. I service areas within approximately 20 minutes of 15237 and can accommodate a variety of scheduling needs. I do have a standing commitment at the barn on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and once over the weekend, but I build pet care schedules around that to ensure animals are never left longer than agreed upon. Communication and planning are always prioritized.

I like to understand each pet’s routine, crate schedule, feeding times, medication needs, and how long they are comfortable being alone. Clear expectations help me provide consistent, stress-free care.
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.
