Long time animal lover!

Pet care experience

I have both personal and professional experience, watching animals, especially dogs. This includes clients I connected with on Rover as well as through friends and family. For the past few years, I’ve mainly been working via informal referrals and thus I don’t have many reviews, though I can provide some names/numbers offline. I love being around different types of animals and I am honestly just looking to make my life more active! I don’t have pets of my own, so having the opportunity to be around animals is exciting to me. I have no animal breed or age preferences and I am open to helping you out in any way I can. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to learn more about me and my experience working with animals. I look forward to caring for your loved ones!

María was an amazing dog walker! She came the day before to do a meet and greet. She had great communication and was so kind. She took my dog to the park for a long walk which he loves. I really appreciated her time and effort! Would highly recommend. Thank you so much!

Maria came to the rescue on a last minute trip we planned, and did an excellent job watching our two young labs! She was punctual, friendly, and obviously cared a lot about our dogs. She left our house spotless! Would highly recommend!

Maria was such a tremendous help when we first got our puppy (we needed all hands on deck!). She is lovely to work with and very reliable. Would recommend to anyone who wants to leave their dog in amazing hands!

We loved having Maria walk our dog! She was very friendly and communicative from the beginning. Her bright and positive attitude shown through and she was very patient with Sally who can be a little skidish around new people. She loves dogs and if we hadn’t moved away, we would still have her walking our dog today!

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.
