Safety, trust & environment

I always ask for details about preferences (of you and your pets!) to ensure a smooth and happy experience for all. I make sure to communicate regularly (including daily updates and pictures as desired); always check fences and gates if your pet likes to play in the yard; lock doors; and leave your home in better condition than I found it.

Information Maria M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any particular preferences, tendencies, activities they like to do, as well as any health concerns! I enjoy pets of all kinds of shapes, sizes and personalities. Looking forward to meeting yours!

A typical day

I love taking long walks in various parks and neighborhoods on my own, so I know what routes are great for any type of pet! If your pet has any particular activities or walking routes they enjoy, I'd be more than happy to accommodate.

Experienced pet lover!

Pet care experience

I've had cats and dogs in my life since I was 5, beginning with my amazing German Shepherd/Cocker Spaniel mutt Lucky (from when she was a puppy until she was 15). Growing up in Seattle, I would also dog sit/walk and cat sit for all of my neighbors. Most recently, my husband and I had the privilege of adopting two cats. We've had them for a year, and they are my pride and joy!

Maria had been an excellent walker, always prompt and does not skimp on the walk time. My dog is typically shy of strangers but took to Maria immediately

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.
