Pet care experience

Passionate Pet Technician✨

I'm passionate about animals, meeting new personalities and being in nature! As a Pet Technician, I have experience caring for dogs and cats all age ranges. From a young puppy that requires mindful reinforcement to a senior dog that requires medication administration, I practice unconditional love and patience throughout my care. My #1 responsibility and goal is to create a safe environment and positive experience for all. To ensure my readiness and education, I am certified in Pet First Aid and CPR. I believe it's important to get to know and respect each pet's unique personality and preferences when caring for them. Looking forward to taking your furry friends on their favorite outdoor adventures soon!

Maria was wonderful! She took great care of our dog, sent daily updates, and was very understanding when our flight was delayed and we picked him up a few hours late. We really appreciate her!

Had a wonderful experience with Maria. Right from the meet and greet it is obvious how much she loves animals and is dedicated to giving them the best experience. The drop off and pick up was super smooth, and she sent the best pictures and updates of my pup every day. My pup had the best time!! Would definitely recommend Maria for anyone who is nervous about picking a dog sitter. Thanks again!!

Kiki’s first time with a sitter and I could enjoy my trip knowing she was well taken care of and that training was continuing! We have already booked Maria again! From the moment we met my dog and I were at ease. She came home happy. I met with 5 rovers and it was immediately clear that Maria would be a stress free environment for my gal! I

Doggy Day Care • Mar 10, 2026

First time having Maria dog sit for me and it was great! When I picked up my dog she was so tired 😂 a sign of a fun and full day. Maria lives in a great area - lots of walks nearby and plenty of dogs to socialize with. On my way to pick up my dog I got stuck in a car accident traffic jam and Maria was understanding about me being late for pickup. I’ll definitely book with Maria again, she is super sweet and knowledgeable! 🐾

Dog Walking • Dec 08, 2025

Maria was super helpful when I needed a dog walker last minute on a weekend. I needed someone trustworthy and kind to look after my dog and she was both! Mila was well taken care of and I could tell she was in great hands with Maria! Sent updates and pictures with each walk. Thanks again and I’m sure Mila can’t wait for her adventure with you!

Maria was a lifesaver! We booked her last minute before the holiday weekend and she was so kind and flexible. Her communication was excellent—we got plenty of cute pic updates. Our pup was well cared for and happy when we returned. Truly grateful, we’ll definitely book again!

Safety, trust & environment

If your pet were to stay with me, they would be a very special guest in a home without any other animals. After free roaming around the space, we could enjoy plenty of play and cuddle time together! I live in a pet-friendly community with stunning water views, just a short 0.3mi stroll from the beach, I’d love to explore the area on foot with a new friend! My primary focus is ensuring that you and your pet(s) feel safe and comfortable. I am committed to following specific instructions and providing exceptional care. I will use my expertise to offer the best care possible, always acting with respect and kindness.

A typical day

Living in the Marina, I enjoy staying active by walking or hiking at least 11k steps daily. I allow the pets to guide me by listening to their body language. Some walks are leisurely, allowing us to explore at a relaxed pace and engage our senses. Other times, we're running because we have so much energy to exert! Even routine activities can turn into playtime, whether it's an organized game of fetch or spontaneous fun that unfolds naturally in the moment.
