Information Maria N. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I should know. I'd like to know how they behave during walks (do they afraid of other dogs, cats, or children) and what activities they are comfortable with.

A typical day

I love to walk with dogs! I live in the area with parks nearby, so we have a lot of trails to explore. If your dog isn't into long walks, I can stay with them at home and play games and toys so they stay happy and entertained.

Pawsome Care

Pet care experience

From my earliest memories, I've been surrounded by the joy and companionship of various pets. Whether it was caring for my own cat, two dogs, and two parrots in my childhood home, or stepping in to assist friends and family with their beloved furry (or feathered!) companions, my passion for animal care has always been a central part of who I am. Over the years, I've nurtured and bonded with animals of all kinds, understanding their unique needs and quirks. From leisurely walks in the park to ensuring they're fed with the right balance of nutrition and love, I've provided attentive care to countless pets. My connection with animals is more than just a duty; it's a deep-rooted affection paired with practical care. Your pets won't just get the essentials; they'll have someone who understands their needs and genuinely enjoys their company.

Maria was terrific! Great communication, and she was able to help us out on short notice during a chaotic holiday travel season. Highly recommended!

Tommy loves staying with Maria. She keeps him safe, comfortable, gives him lots of attention and cuddles, takes him on nice walks, and sends great updates and pictures. I can trust her to take care of him so I don’t have to worry when I’m at work! Maria is very professional and reliable.

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.
