Safety, trust & environment

When at your home I will make sure your pet feels safe around me and doesn’t feel like I’m Intruding in its home! (Please feel free to leave me notes on your pets personality so I can better adjust the way I interact/play with them to make them feel as comfortable as needed!)

Information Maria C. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has any special needs like different dietary needs or certain things that need to be done differently for them please feel comfortable on letting me know and correcting me if you feel is necessary!

A typical day

I love to keep the babies busy whether it is with a long walk, an interactive toy, teaching new tricks or even playing hide and seek! I like to make sure they are always busy and stimulated so when the parents get home the baby is tired out for them!

Pet care experience

Ever since I was 17 I’ve been taking care of dogs from family friends to school friends! Ive had over 7 dogs of my own and have trained most of them with my brothers help! I do work at an animal hospital so I’m qualified to give medications as well as being able to notice and take care of minor medical situations like digestive issues. I’m able to give nail trims and do eat and eye cleanings do to my experience with my 3 Maltese and I’m able to handle bigger breed dogs with a lot of energy since I have had several pit bulls and retrievers! I’m always keeping parents updated since I know how much we miss our fur babies! Very open to accommodations!

Maria did a wonderful job taking care of Hazel and my two cats. She sent lots of pictures and daily updates, which allowed me to enjoy my vacation and not worry about my pets. Thank you!!

Maria cared for our two quirky dogs at the last minute. She gave them meds, accommodated their needs and sent lots of pics!

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.
