I always send pictures and keep owners updated about pets health. I like to do a basic health exam just to be sure everything is alright and if I notice something not normal I immediately contact owners. Better safe than sorry ! I have experience taking care of multiple animal species 🐕🐈🦜🐇🐀🐍🐖🐒🦎🐠🦔🐢 and have knowledge of animal behavior.

Pet care experience

* I currently have open spaces from Monday - Thursday between 9 am - 10 am and 1 pm - 3 pm. Weekends are full. * Welcome! I am a veterinarian from Mexico (and american citizen) who has worked as a Tech Vet in Texas. Been taking care and healing dogs/cats since 2006 🐾 in middle school I volunteered for an animal shelter and never stopped working with animals from that day. After I graduated I decided to become a veterinarian and it was the best decision of my life! I enjoy taking care and spending my time with animals. I worked in domestic and exotic pet hospitals as a doctor for 10+ years. Recently got married and moved to USA for a new adventure. In my photo gallery I like to publish pics of current/past pets that I have sitter or walk thru the Rover app. Pet photography is my big passion and I love to share beautiful photos of happy pets 🌸

We’ve been using Maria for nearly 2 years now, and finding a reliable dog sitter is no easy task. Choosing her was one of the best decisions we’ve made. She comes 2-3 times a week for 30 minutes to take care of all 3 of our dogs, and she consistently goes above and beyond Maria is punctual, communicative, and always sends the best photos of our dogs, which we truly appreciate. We’ve come to think of her as part of the family. If you’re considering hiring her to care for your pets, don’t hesitate - you won’t be disappointed.

Maria came to my house last minute. She was a life saver after getting my puppy a few days before… will be asking Maria to come back! Thank you!

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.
