Pet care experience

Loving, experienced pet care

I’ve had pets for 30 years and loved them like family. After my last pet passed, I knew I still wanted to share my love and care with animals, that’s why I am excited about pet sitting. I’m a compassionate, responsible, and trustworthy person who truly enjoys spending time with pets of all kinds. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I will treat your furry family members with the same love and attention I gave my own.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether at my home or yours, I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. At the client’s home, I will make sure to follow your routines closely so your pets feel in their familiar environment. At my home, I provide a calm and welcoming space where they get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I treat every pet with patience and in a loving and compassionate way, making sure they get the care, companionship, and comfort they need while you’re away.

Maria is wonderful! Reliable, quick to communicate and great with my 2 kitties. I have no worries when I leave them in Maria's care. I highly recommend her!

Maria did a wonderful job watching our dog while we were away! She took great care of Tiffy and they got along great. She sent us lots of pictures and was great at communicating. I highly recommend Maria for your sitting needs! We would book again!

Maria did a great job taking care of my senior dog and skittish cat. The fact that my cat who normally hides from strangers came out while she was here assured me that they were in good hands. I would highly recommend her.

I have known Maria for quite some time and I've found her to be very caring, reliable and responsible. She adores animals and she would love to be around pets again as she has none of her own any more. I would definitely recommend her to take care of your pets.

She shows affection, empathy and compassion for animals often prioritizing her needs and finding joy and fulfillment in the human animal bond. She is awesome

I currently work full time as a Recruiter, but I would love to dedicate my weekends to caring for pets. I’m available from Friday evenings through Sunday evenings, and I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of love, attention, and care during that time.

To give your pets the best care, it helps me to know: • Your pet’s daily routine (feeding, walks, playtime, bedtime). • Any health concerns, medications, or allergies. • How your pet gets along with other animals or people. • Favorite toys, treats, or comfort items. • Any special rules (like furniture, crate, or outdoor limits). The more I know, the more I can keep your pets happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away.
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.
