Maria was absolutely wonderful in every way with my 2 Labs. So thoughtful & thorough - she made them feel right at home. She has an amazing space & yard as well as the most adorable pup. It felt to good to know they were in great hands. I’d have them stay with her again in a heartbeat!

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.
