Big house with large fenced yard!
Pet care experience
Hello there! I am Maria & I am 21 years old! I am a high school grad and majoring in biology to become a pediatric doctor someday! I am CPR and first aid certified. I have been dog-sitting since the age of 12 outside of the house for other families and since the age of 9 for my own dog. I have experience with puppies to 12 years old and with up to three dogs at a time and in all sizes. I am very creative, organized and well planned out dog-sitter. And live in a big house with a large fenced yard with plenty space for your dog to play around. I hope that I may be the right fit for your family and we may get to talk further, you won't be disappointed! References upon request!

I paid for house sitting and gave very specific instructions that we do not like to leave the dogs alone for extended periods of time. The service requested and confirmed was for housesitting of 3 pets, one of which has a history of seizures, and from what I can tell from the outdoor camera, the service provided was drop-in service every 4-5 hours by someone other than Maria. We hired Maria and she never asked if it was ok to send one else in her place. Maria never stayed at the house. There were various pee stains and dried poop spots through out the house, all signs of the dogs being left alone for extended periods of time. Additionally, there was a bag of catnip that the dogs chewed up and ate whatever was in the bag. Thankfully, catnip is not toxic. The list goes on. Maria was never at the house, which explains how unresponsive she was throughout the 6 days of service. Needless to say I would not recommend Maria for any service on Rover.
Maria was quite unresponsive from my first inquiry. It took a while for her to respond that she would be available to board my dogs for a long weekend. The day prior to boarding, I reached out to Maria to confirm time for drop off. I never heard back. The morning of drop off I called her twice, I messaged her on this app, I called Rover support. No one could get a hold of her. I had to scramble in the two hours I had left before scheduled stay to find a new sitter with the help of Rover. I was living as Maria’s complete silence almost ruined my weekend plans. Two hours after the dogs found their weekend home, I got multiple texts from Maria while I was on the road, asking me when I was going to drop off the dogs! She then apologized and explained that her Internet is malfunctioning. That does not explain the lack of response to my phone calls. She has had good reviews here and I thought it would be a good fit. Clearly, if you are not reachable in any way, fail to disclose that you’re running into Internet and phone issues all at once, then there is no way I can entrust you with my dogs while I’m miles away.
We have had Maria house sit for us twice now and she is wonderful!
Maria was so great and really gave us piece of mind over the long weekend we were away! Came back to our home and pup just the way we left them. Would definitely hire her again!
