Animal lover who is at your service

Maria was my house sitter and my dog sitter for 8 days recently and did a fantastic job. Hayley loved her and she took great care of my house while I was gone. Great peace of mind will definitely schedule her again.

Maria has a joyful personality, she was very good with my dogs and they were very happy while she was with them. They all ate well and she took them for various walks during the day. She was conscientious in making sure each dog got their various supplements and medications. I hope she will be available when I need her watch my dogs again. Thank you so much Maria!

I truly can not say enough good things about Maria! She took phenomenal care of my dogs, following all instructions to the letter, giving them their medications on time, and making sure they were very happy and comfortable. She also took great care of the house, everything was spotless! Also, her communication was outstanding, she kept me updated every step of the way.. I felt completely at ease leaving my girls in her care. Highly recommend!

Maria was wonderful! Extremely attentive to the crew, and she communicated throughout which helped make my time away with my family very relaxing. Her personality is positive and upbeat, and she's very conscientious. She'll be my 1st choice going forward when I need a pet caregiver. I HIGHLY recommend Maria.

Maria was fantastic! She is very caring, was very respectful of our home, on time, and made sure to keep everything clean. She has a very sweet personality as well. I have had multiple people from Rover over the years and had some great people and some not so great. I rate Maria up at the top. Do not let her newness to Rover dissuade you from hiring her. You will be happy you had her caring for your fur babies.
