About Maria F.

Communication

32 repeat pet parents
96% response rate
Usually responds in under half an hour
100% bookings with photo updates
Sends updates with Rover Cards

Skills

10 years of experience
Oral medication administration
First aid/CPR
Senior dog experience
Can provide daily exercise

Safety, trust & environment

I spend plenty of time playing tug-of-war or fetch with their favorite toys, and they always get tons of couch cuddles (if they are allowed up there).

Information Maria F. would like to know about your pet

I would just like to know their typical triggers with people, pets, or other animals we might see on walks, as well as any unusual bad habits you would like me to watch out for. If they have any spots where they might try to hide a potty accident, that would be great to know, too!

A typical day

I love spending our time walking around the local neighborhoods and dog parks! We could play or even work on a little bit of basic training. I try to stick to the pets' routines more than anything, so my day-to-day can look very different depending on the booking.

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Maria. I have been a huge animal lover for as long as I can remember. I was my neighborhood dog sitter growing up, and have now been active on Rover for many years. I've never met a dog that I didn't get along with. I am very patient and my schedule is extremely flexible! I also have taken care of pets who needed medicine administered. Within the last couple of years I have been taking care of cats as well, and I have a few years of experience living with them. I look forward to helping you with your pet sitting needs, and I can't wait to meet your furry friends!

Maria was great! We will be using her again for our next vacation. We loved the daily updates and our dog did really well!

Maria was amazing with my cat! She was reliable, caring, and went the extra mile to make sure my boy was happy and well cared for while I was away. She exceeded my expectations, and I would gladly book with her again!

Maria was great with our kitty, who takes medication twice daily. She is very thorough and detail oriented. Easy to work with, she is flexible and knows when to reach out if something seems off. Our kitty seems to enjoy her visits. We will absolutely work with Maria again.

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.
