Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and two sweet dogs who love everybody. There are dogs beds throughout the house and plenty of time for doggie treats and playtime.

Information Maria F. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what would help your pup feel most at home while you are away - specific snacks, certain toys (balls or stuffed animals or squeaky toys)? I want your pet to feel as comfortable as possible while you are out.

A typical day

I love to take dogs on walks in nearby parks or to the dog park. I have a large back yard for lots of ball tossing and chasing. I'm also perfectly happy to spoil your pet inside the house with lots of attention (if that's what your pup prefers). I'm flexible!

Pets

I treat your pup like family!

Pet care experience

I've had pet dogs (I call them my kids!) and fostered dogs for the past 30yrs. I love the high energy puppies and the seriously lazy seniors. Our dogs are not our pets, they are part of our family! I’ll treat your pet as if it was one of mine. I’ll send frequent updates and spoil them rotten while you are away.

Maria is the best! She loves my girls and takes good care of them. She sends pictures so I can see how happy they are in real time. I give her a 10! She’s worth every penny!

Great experience. Came home to a happy, healthy pup, and we're so grateful to Maria for caring for our Harrison.

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.
