I had to rush off to Ireland for a funeral and literally had just a few hours notice to book a sitter. Maria was very quick to accept the booking and replied to all messages promptly. Felt happy leaving the dogs there and they appeared to be happy when I collected them. We will definitely use Maria again.

Maria looked after our dog for 4 nights over Christmas. There wasn’t a lot of communication and took a long time for messages to be answered. On Christmas Day Maria sent a message to say Reggie was bleeding but she couldn’t see where from. I was obviously very concerned but she said there’s nothing obvious and she would keep an eye on him. When we collected Reggie on 27th he was covered head to toe in scratches and gashes / scabs and Maria could offer no explanation. She said he arrived like that - which is impossible. She told me during his stay he had been playing with other dogs so I suggested that maybe the wounds were a result of play fighting, to which she contradicted herself and said the other dogs left him alone the entire time. After a full vet check up it’s been confirmed this happened in her care and look like either animal scratches or whip marks. We are totally devastated that we left our precious dog in the hands of someone so incompetent. We urge anyone to not use Maria. Rover are currently investigating but sadly Maria is ignoring any communication and therefore making the process much slower to remove her from the site. There has been no apology, follow up to see how he is or any form of responsibility claimed. She has however suggested a full refund which to me shows she is liable. My other concern is that IF my dog had arrived to her house in this state why she didn’t ask us about it or get vet care for him is beyond me, and further enforces my theory of her completely lying to cover up what actually happened. Stay away!!!
