Information Maria G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has special needs and we will do our best to accommodate. For compatibility reasons, I accept dogs who are socialized around other dogs since our pup is quite friendly and playful.

A typical day

A typical day starts off with a late morning walk in the Glen Park/Mission Terrace neighborhood, followed by leisure time in the yard where my dog Arlow sniffs and explores, and naps on the patio. After lunchtime, we go for a second walk in the neighborhood or visit the local dog park at Walter Haas or Saint Mary's.

Pet care experience

Growing up, my family has always had pets. We've always had rescue dogs, a cat, birds, turtles and hamsters, so I've been around pets and in particular I've been caring for dogs since the tender age of 2! 🤩 I have a 4 year old Beagle & Formosan Mountain Dog mix, rescued from Taiwan during the pandemic, and also volunteered at a local canine rescue - Family Dog Rescue on Shafter Avenue in San Francisco for a year so I am comfortable handling breeds of different temperaments and sizes.

Maria was absolutely awesome. We had a last minute emergency situation with another Rover and Maria took such good care of our dog despite multiple complications from the other stay. We couldn't recommend her enough and are extremely grateful for her care of our golden retriever, Gus. Thank you so much, Maria!

Maria saved the day while I was in Mexico and took my dog Buckie in last minute. Maria sent pictures daily, showing my dog happier than ever. Highly recommend you let María take care of your pets while you’re away.

Maria was great… we have a 6 month old puppy who is pretty rambunctious. She took he and our older dog to the park and it looks like they had a great time. Excellent communication and very accommodating.

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.
