Safety, trust & environment

Safety is number one for everyone. My dogs (two Jack Russell terriers) will not be in your home unless all parties agree. If they are, they will be properly separated from yours when I am not home. Your pets will be well loved and taken care of, as well as your entire home.

Information Maria H. would like to know about your pet

What are there likes and dislikes? Are they fearful of anything? Medications they may need? Are they fine with car rides to the park? Have they stayed with a sitter before?

A typical day

Whatever your babies love doing, I will too! I'm outdoorsy but also a homebody. So if fun for your baby means hiking, going to parks, sightseeing or just laying on the couch getting belly rubs and tight hugs I'm all in!

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Maria. I've been working with animals since 2016 professionally. Besides Rover, I've worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility and 24/7 animal specialty hospitals focusing in surgery and emergency. I have experience with exotics and reptiles as well. I've recently changed careers but still love to care for all types of animals and be there for you when you're away from your baby/babies! Update: now working with lovely Alejandra for home deep cleaning and organizing if you are in need of services! Alejandra has 20+ years of experience and loves all animals too!

Maria is excellent! She is attentive and responsible providing love and great care our two cats. She was able to make friends with them - which is not easy. They are pretty aloof. I had lots of confidence that Winston and Shadow were well cared for the entire tie I was away. A big, big thank you!!

Maria was an excellent pet sitter. We were out of town for a few days and Maria stayed with our two dogs and a cat. The house looked great and the animals were cared for and happy on our return. We will book Maria again. Thank you!

Excellent care for your fur babies. Always on time for feedings. Gives medication that's needed. Never had to worry about my cats for the time I was away. We'll definitely use Maria again.

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.
