“Happiness is a warm puppy”

Pet care experience

Dogs and cats are my favorite people, I absolutely love all of them. They are naturally drawn to me and I like to give them lots of love and attention. I have had animals for the last 16 years and have also cared for friend’s pets so I know the importance of trusting your sitter. I have also rescued dogs and volunteered in different animal shelters back in my home country, Venezuela, so I am familiar and comfortable with all the areas and tasks involved. I started with Rover in 2019 in NYC and have had many satisfied and happy clients. I am new to the JAX area and can’t wait to make some new furry friends. I have a beautiful mixed-breed senior dog, Lulu. At the moment I’m not able to pet sit at my place but I have full availability to stay in your home.

Maria watched our 2 dogs in our home and did a fantastic job. She communicated with us very often and sent us pictures so we knew how everything was going. 1 of our dogs ended up getting sick the day we left and had an accident in the house while Maria was watching them and she handled the situation like a total pro. I was way more worried about it than she was, which was very comforting. I would highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for a pet sitter. Thank you, Maria!

Maria helped me on short notice to do two walks with Murphy and she did a great job. She was on time, provided good feedback and Murphy was a happy pup. Will call upon her again. Thanks Maria for job well done. Kathleen F.

Maria was awesome! She was able to help me out on short notice. Her communication is excellent and her love for our doggo was evident. I will definitely be reaching out to her again! Thank you, Maria!

Safety, trust & environment

I’m always very careful when I take dogs on walks. Always double check harness, collar and leashes, and keep my eyes on them at all times, making sure they do not eat anything off the ground! While at home I keep a risk free environment, and make sure they are comfortable and stimulated :)

Information Maria P. would like to know about your pet

I’m comfortable giving meds to dogs that need it or meeting any other special requirements in exercise routine or diet, just let me know ahead of time!

A typical day

We will take long walks so they can explore and smell, once we are back home we can exercise, play with their toys and of course, cuddle!
