Pet care experience

Patient + Loving Care for All Pets!

Growing up in a home full of small dogs taught me to be patient, attentive, and in tune with their needs. Now, as a devoted cat mom, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or administering medication, I provide reliable, loving care that helps pets feel safe, relaxed, and right at home while you’re away! :)

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I’m more than happy to care for your pet in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure as I have a cat who’s a bit territorial. I always prioritize safety, follow your instructions closely, and aim to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible when it comes to walks, feeding schedules, or just spending time keeping them company!

Maria was wonderful. Great with Trinket and sent lots of pictures. Very accommodating of the weather related schedule changes. Thanks for taking great care of my boy.

Teddy and Lucy enjoy Maria. This is my second time booking with her and it has been a pleasure. She sends updates with each visit and i appreciate that.

Maria was great! She was able to help me out last minute. It was literally less than an hour from the time i reached out to her to the time she came for the keys. She sent updates and even made sure to tell my that one if my dogs had not had a bowel movement. I appreciate the attention to detail, especially considering that particular dog is currently on medication for an unrelated issue.

Maria was very attentive and helpful while I was away I was worried about Possums eye and contemplating a vet visit. She gave eye drops and plenty of updates, and when I returned home his eye was good as new! Thanks to Maria Possum and Sloth think food time means play time which makes me happy to know they enjoyed their time with her! Thank you so much!

Schedule

As a graduate student, I’m in the lab during the day (typically 9am–5pm), but pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. I’m available for morning, evening, and nighttime care on weekdays, and I’m very flexible on weekends. I plan my schedule intentionally to make sure each pet receives attentive, unhurried care, consistent check-ins, and plenty of affection. I’m also happy to adjust routines as needed to match your pet’s usual schedule!

It’s helpful to know how they feel about other animals, strangers, loud noises, or being left alone. I also appreciate knowing their favorite toys, treats, and if they’re crate-trained or used to sleeping in a certain spot. The more I know, the better I can make them feel safe and happy!
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.
