Safety, trust & environment

We have a fenced yard at home. Still, I watch my dogs just in case. In spring/summer I check for ticks every time they go out. When we go on walks, I am always diligent when we pass another dog. If my dogs aren't up for walks, especially my senior dog, we go out into the backyard and play fetch or run around.

Pet care experience

I have had dogs my whole life. My job has been to feed them, give them water, clean up after them, take them for walks, and give them medication. I also currently have a senior dog, so I have some experience with them! I have experience with small and big dogs alike.

Maria was wonderful for all 4 of our animals! She provided pictures and communicated effectively throughout our trip! We couldn’t have been happier with her service!

Maria is a very responsible and loving pet caregiver. She was caring for my three dogs once while I was away in North Carolina. She texted updates and was super attentive to my oldest dog, asking if certain behaviors were normal or whether she should take him to an emergency vet. If I am ever away for an evening or more, I am confident that Maria will follow the dogs' schedules, feed them appropriately (they all eat different food), and provide lots of snuggles!

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.
