This was my first time trusting my two senior fur pups with Maria, and I’m grateful I did. She is so sweet and caring, and she was very loving specially with one of my senior dogs who is blind and has allergy issues. She made sure to pay extra attention so Lucas wouldn’t hurt himself and kept on top of his meds. Maria also sent me pictures to keep me updated, which gave me peace of mind while I was traveling. Thank you so much for taking care of Lucas and Lucy ❤️

Maria is the best!! Even though he is anxious, my dog Jax loves staying at Maria’s house. Maria takes such great care of Jax and sends lots of videos so I know he is happy and healthy.

Maria is a very thoughtful and considerate sitter. Very flexible with schedule modifications and our dog Piper enjoys being at her home. I highly recommend Marie for watching your pet.

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.
