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 did an excellent job caring for our complex brood of 4 animals. Some don't get along, some need meds, one is a puppy that is slow to warm up and she handled them all with confidence and ease. She communicated daily with photos and updates and I was never worried about their welfare. We will definitely be booking again!

Maria was great. My boys loved her. She was very attentive to their needs and my need for constant check ins. She sent multiple photos daily which I appreciated so much. I will definitely use Maria again in the future. Maria cared for my boys like they were her own.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass an identity verification. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
