Reliable Pet Sitter for Dogs & Cats

Hi! I’m María, a reliable and caring pet sitter with a genuine love for both dogs and cats 🐾 My experience with animals started early, my very first “job” was walking dogs in my neighborhood, and since then I’ve always been the go-to person for pet care. I had a German Shepherd named Rocky, so I understand the responsibility, energy, and attention dogs need, especially larger or more active breeds. I’ve also cared for my cousin’s pets (a high-energy husky and a cat) making sure to follow their routines closely, keep them entertained, and give them plenty of attention. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, cleaning litter boxes, and even administering medication when needed. I’m very organized, attentive, and adaptable. Whether your pet is calm and independent or playful and energetic, I’ll adjust to their needs and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently available full-time for drop-ins and house sitting, and I take that responsibility seriously, your pet’s well-being always comes first 💛🐕🐈 Hablo español⭐️

Maria was absolutely perfect! We are always so nervous leaving our dogs with someone new but she eased our minds and kept us in the loop with frequent updates and amazing flexibility. Will definitely be rebooking in the future.

I’m glad I found someone trustworthy to take care of my little girl! Maria is always super happy and eager to help me with miss Daisy. I 100% recommend her!!! And she’s bilingual so that’s a total PLUS!

Maria was amazing with our dogs for a week while we went out of town. They are skittish with strangers, but she handled them perfectly and they quickly warmed up to her.

Maria was so sweet and so flexible when it came to my babies. I have a lot of issues finding someone to watch both of my babies, as some people are nervous because they are pits. Maria treated my two girls as her own. My house was left spotless and she even left the cutest note about her stay with them. I definitely recommend her.

My cat was well taken care of. Fed on time. Litterbox was thoroughly cleaned. María also spent quality time with my cat. I wouldn't let anyone else take care of my baby.

María took great care of my husky. He is a hyper 2 year old dog and needs a lot of attention. María made sure not to disrupt his routine and keep him happy, safe and entertained.

Before caring for your pet, I like to learn as much as possible about their routine, personality, needs, and preferences so I can provide the best experience possible. I’ll ask about feeding schedules, medications, energy levels, favorite activities, fears or triggers, and anything else that helps your pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy 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.
