Loving & Caring Pet Sitter ❤️

My deep connection with animals, especially dogs, goes beyond a simple hobby. I have been a dog owner since childhood and I've shared my life with them, which has allowed me to develop great empathy and a natural instinct to understand their needs. Thanks to my life experience with them, I've developed a "clinical eye" that allows me to immediately detect any signs of discomfort, ensuring their safety and happiness. My passion for dogs and my sensitivity to their needs are my greatest strengths as a caregiver. I understand that your pets are valuable members of the family, and my goal is to provide them with the peace of mind of knowing they are in caring and loving hands.

Maria Fernanda was awesome with our dog Bimba. It's clear she love dogs as she has her own, Mila. Mila herself was very friendly and wanted to play together with Bimab and her stay was super. We were wery relaxed knowing it was in good lively hands.

Fer was outstanding! She took amazing care of my dog, Chico, and kept me updated with photos and messages the whole time. It was clear that Chico was really happy with her, and I could see how well she cared for him. Fer has such a positive energy and attitude, and I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter.

Fernanda and her husband were wonderful with our dog during his two-week stay. They walked him every day, gave him a bath, and kept us updated with photos and videos so we could see how happy he was. It was clear he felt right at home with them, and we’re so grateful for the care and love they gave him—we’d book with them again in a heartbeat!

Togo had a great time staying with you! I loved the photo and video reports, as it was the first time using the dog sitting service and I am not sure for whom the separation was harder, for the dog or for me, you supported both of us!

Fini hat Maria Fernanda und ihren kleinen Hund sofort geliebt und hatte in den 3 Tagen sehr viel Spaß. Ich hatte ein sehr gutes Gefühl sie bei Maria Fernanda zu lassen. Gerne beim nächsten Mal wieder 🥰

Fernanda was so friendly and lovely with our dog Rosie. Rosie loved spending time with Fernanda and was always so happy seeing and staying with her. Organization and communication weren’t very smoothly. Thanks a lot - can definitely recommend 😊

Schedule

I'm a chef by profession and I'm mostly at home and in the kitchen. 😊 This allows me to be very flexible with my daily schedule and dedicate myself to caring for your furry friends. I live in a nice and spacious apartment with my husband and my own dog, where your pets will be welcomed as part of our family.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, dogs can move around and sleep comfortably anywhere in the house. Safety is paramount to me; my balcony has a high, protected wall, and in general, where I live is completely safe, with no risk of pets getting injured in any way. There are several parks nearby, such as the Olympiapark and Luitpoldpark, where we can go for a nice walk. As a dog owner, I know the importance of pets, after all, they are family <3. I always make sure to provide the utmost care, attention, love and fun to our furry friends, and of course that the pet owners feel comfortable and confident by sharing photos and messages and keeping them updated.

A typical day

I'm a chef by profession and I'm mostly at home and in the kitchen. 😊 This allows me to be very flexible with my daily schedule and dedicate myself to caring for your furry friends. I live in a nice and spacious apartment with my husband and my own dog, where your pets will be welcomed as part of our family. My daily routine will depend on the dog's usual schedule, age, and specific needs. I will always make sure to provide the utmost care, attention, love and entertainment for your pets. I offer 2 or 3 walks a day, adapting to each dog's energy requirements to ensure they get adequate exercise. I live near Olympiapark and Luidtpoldpark, so these are the places where I frequently take walks. I will follow all the instructions that you provide regarding feeding schedule, habits and other cares necessary for your pets.

I like to ask pet owners for detailed instructions covering all aspects of the dog's care. This includes: - Feeding schedule (what, how much, when) - Medications (if any, dosage, time, how to administer) - Potty schedule and preferred potty spots - Exercise routine (type, duration, favorite toys/parks) - Behavioral quirks (anxiety, aggression, fears) - Supplies (food, treats, leash, bags, meds) - Preferred communication method and frequency for updates - Cleaning routine
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.
