Work from home company for your pet

Pet care experience

Just so you know a bit about me, I'm 52 years old (born 1971) and have worked remotely as an insurance auditor since 2014. I enjoy working out 6 days/week so taking your pets for walks is not a problem! I have owned Jack Russell Terriers since 2001 so I am experienced with the breed. I've taken care of dogs, cats, farm animals, small pets like guinea pigs and even a bearded dragon. When in doubt, just ask!

Maria is amazing, she cares for our pet pooch as if he were her own and goes above and beyond when it comes to caring for our home. We could not be more pleased with her services and are repeat customers several times over. Highly recommend.

Maria is super communicative and reliable. We had a jammed lockbox accident, which she helped us navigate successfully to make sure that our cat was cared for. Would recommend her to anyone, and work with her again

Safety, trust & environment

Please let me know the following so that your pet has the proper care: - Are times flexible (can you give me a window of time)? - How long can your pet be left alone? If they cannot be left alone for less than 4 hours then I am probably not the ideal sitter for you although I may be able to make exceptions. - How do you handle keys? - How is the parking, in case I decide to take my vehicle instead of walking/biking/scooter/bus options? If I take my scooter there, is it OK to bring it inside for secure storage? If that is an issue then I can use a Baywheels bike as I have an annual membership.

Information Maria P. would like to know about your pet

Due to high demand, my radius is 1 miles for dog walks & kitty visits. Additional $5 charge per visit if it's over that distance and additional $10 charge per visit if it's over 3 miles. A separate trip to pick up or drop off keys will incur an extra charge of $5 per trip - unless you are on my way to another customer's home or less than 1 mile away. Please be sure to fill out your pet's profile prior to requesting a service in order to expedite the booking and so that Rover guarantee covers all of your animals during my services. I will not accept pets with aggression issues. I cannot accept outdoor kitties due to liability reasons.

A typical day

I'm a semi-retired triathlete taking time off from racing so I can focus more on work and do some traveling out of the country. My daily exercise is walking (includes walking your dog which is a win win) and I'm usually content getting at least an hour in daily.
