Safety, trust & environment

When I provide drop-in visits, my goal is to make sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for in their own home. During each visit, I’ll refresh food and water, clean litter boxes for cats, and take dogs outside for a potty break if needed. I always spend quality time with your pets—whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, depending on their personality and comfort level.

Information Maria M. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know anything that will help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and understood. This includes their daily routine, feeding instructions, medications, any allergies, and how they typically behave with new people. I also like to know their likes and dislikes—favorite toys, preferred play style, and anything that might make them nervous or stressed.

A typical day

I love making sure pets have fun and feel engaged during my visits. With dogs, I’ll play their favorite games—whether that’s fetch, tug-of-war, or exploring the yard for some sniff-time. If they enjoy training or mental enrichment, I can also work on simple commands or provide puzzle toys to keep their minds active.

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have cared for many pets beyond my own. I’ve pet-sat and dog-walked pups of all ages and personalities, and I’ve also volunteered at an animal shelter, where I worked with both dogs and cats. I currently have a cat and two dogs at home, so I’m very comfortable providing care, attention, and love to animals of all kinds.

Maria M. has been taking care of dogs for over 20 years, and she’s amazing at it. She loves dogs like they're her own family and knows everything about keeping them happy and healthy. Maria is great at walking, playing with, and looking after dogs. She makes sure they feel loved and safe. When Maria looks after your dog, you can be sure they’re in good hands because she's kind, patient, and really cares. I highly recommend her to anyone on Rover.com who needs someone to take care of their dog.

I cannot recommend Maria highly enough! She has been an absolute blessing for both of our dogs. Her genuine love and care for animals shine through in every interaction. She is a reliable, responsible, and always goes the extra mile to ensure the well-being and happiness of my pets. In addition, she is volunteer at a cat rescue shelter. I feel completely at ease knowing that my furry companions are in such capable and loving hands. If you're looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet caregiver, Maria is the perfect choice!
