Availability

I have a good amount of time to dedicate to pets since I’m currently taking only two classes and don’t work. I’m available throughout the weekdays and weekends. My class schedule: Tuesday: 6pm-9:15pm Thursday: 6pm-9:15pm New schedule comes out on August 9th Pet care fits well into my routine because my classes are short and spread out, giving me plenty of free time before and after. I’m happy to stay extra time if needed!

Loving care for every pet

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 16, helping neighbors, friends, and family. I’ve mainly worked with energetic small to medium sized dogs and love every minute of it! I handle feeding, walking, bathing, and playtime, and I enjoy teaching simple tricks to keep pets happy and engaged. I’m patient, attentive, and enthusiastic, making sure pets stay active, entertained, and safe. I also communicate regularly with owners so they feel at ease and confident that their pets are receiving the best care!

I’ve used rover many times before, Maria not only left me reassured on our pet meet up before the booking but also during booking. She listened to all of my elder dogs needs, my baby is 14 years of age and leaving her for a week was definitely nerve wracking since here eyes are already grey. She would send me updates on my pets, my dog doesn’t get along with many people or pets but she allowed Maria to get near her and even napped together. She truly is Angel and HIGHLY recommend!
