I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions, so things feel familiar and stress-free. My goal is for every pet to feel happy and cared for, just like they would with you.

Compassionate, Reliable Pet Care

Pet care experience

I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I take the time to get to know their quirks, favorite things, and routines so they feel happy and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s extra playtime, snuggles, or sticking to their schedule, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and never lonely. I am a mature working professional who enjoys caring for animals on the side.

Maria hung out with my dog while I was traveling over the holidays. She was super responsive, thoughtful, and all around an awesome sitter. Thanks, Maria!

This was our first time using Rover, and Maria was great! She was prompt in her communications and treated our little guy and our home with care. Would definitely use her again and would recommend her to others.

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.
