Safety, trust & environment

I have one friendly dog I care for when my parents are away. I make sure to take him for walks and have playing sessions. I feed my dog at the same time every day and provide him with the medication he needs.

Information Maria F. would like to know about your pet

Please provide me with any information I need to know when knowing your pet. This could be awareness of any medication, behavior, or anything else that I need to know to keep your pet safe and happy.

A typical day

When it is time to take a walk with my new friend, I would like to take them for walks on trails or parks that we would be able to find near your residence. I would play tug of war with them or any other games that you and your dog play together.

Pet care experience

Before joing Rover, I cared for my neighbor's dog twice when I was 18 years old for a week. I also looked after my family friend's dog for a week. They both have relied on me to take and look after their dogs. I was responsible for walking, feeding, and playing with their dogs. I also looked after one of my friend's Guinea Pigs for a weekend. I have been doing Rover for 2 years now, I have taken care of all types of dogs and even taken care of a cat! Each time, I make sure to read the instructions that owners leave for me so I can take care of their furry friend as best as I can while they are away.

Maria did an excellent job with our two pups! We would love to use her services in the future! She had continuous communication with us and she would often send us cute pictures of the pups. We were able to truly enjoy our vacation knowing our pups were in such good care. Maria's services are 10 out of 10! Thank you Maria!!

Marie was awesome! She was quick to respond when I would reach out, and not afraid to ask a question which I really liked. The animals were great with her. I will definitely book her again!

Maria is the most dependable dog sitter we have ever had. She is attentive to detail, great communicator, and very caring. We have rebooked her many times and will continue to do so.

I highly recommend Maria. She is trustworthy, responsive and reliable. She contacted me when Molly was shaking due to fireworks in our neighborhood to make sure this is typical. 8 forgot to warn her and was very happy she reached out to me. Molly had a wonderful time with her and was not as excited to see me as I expected. (because she was content with Maria). This was my first time with a house sitter and I was so pleased to return home with my house as clean as I left it. I will be using her 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.
