Information Maria F. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs to take care of. Let me know their favorite places to walk or if there are any neighborhood animals to avoid.

A typical day

I love to explore areas with dogs and let them smell all the smells. If your dog loves playing fetch and there is a dog park nearby, I would love to throw the ball for them.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Maria, a reliable, attentive, and genuinely animal-loving sitter based in Metro Detroit. I’ve always been the person who gravitates toward animals in any room; the one sitting on the floor with the dog while everyone else is talking. I bring a calm, grounded energy that helps pets feel safe, especially in new environments or when their routines are changing. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies, seniors, and pets who need a little extra patience or reassurance. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or more shy and sensitive, I’m very intuitive with reading their needs and adjusting my approach so they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I’m also very communicative; you’ll get regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to be fully present and attentive during visits or overnight stays. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re my own. If you’re looking for someone who is warm, dependable, and truly tuned in to your pet’s well-being, I’d love to connect 🤍

Maria was wonderful on dog walks with my beagle mix, Janie. Maria communicated promptly, and my Janie loved her! Maria was kind enough to also give my cat some love as well. ? recommend booking Maria!

Maria was amazing with our cats while we were away! We have an older cat that needs to be fed twice a day for health issues he has. She was always on time with feedings and took extra time to play with the kitties and keep them company. Would definitely rebook with Maria and recommend booking with her to others!

Maria is fantastic! She walks our girl weekly and is always punctual. She’s very communicative in case of any changes to her schedule and is quick to respond whenever there are questions. We’re so appreciative to Maria for taking good care of our girl and lucky to have found her!

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.
