Your pet's new BFF
Pet care experience
I love animals of all kinds! I am an avid walker and love to bring pets with me on my adventures around Brooklyn (long walks are my specialty but even short ones are fun with a furry companion)! I've been on Rover for a year now and have a lot of experience taking care of cats and dogs with a variety of needs, especially older and anxious pets. Before moving to Brooklyn, I was in Durham, NC for two years, where I pet sat and walked dozens of dogs (and even a cat!) for friends, neighbors, and grad students. My schedule is currently wide open on Fridays and weekends. I am open to learning and adapting to your needs for pet care! Your pet’s safety, health, and happiness are of utmost importance to me while they are in my care.
Reviews
Maria is amazing!! She took care of our two cats while we were traveling. She is on time and very easy to communicate with. Our cats love her! Would love to book her again in the future!
Maria was such a great sitter for our pup. Kinsley warmed up to her very quick and we were so happy she felt comfortable around Maria. Maria was very respectful of our home and kept in constant communication with us by sending updates and pictures. We will absolutely be using Maria again!
Maria is a fantastic house sitter. Reliable, commutative and great with my doggie!!!
Maria is such a gem, I’m so grateful I found her! She took care of my two dogs while I was away and everything went so smoothly. She sent so many pictures, updates, and was very flexible. Thank you Maria, so lucky my doggies have you as a friend!
About Maria R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am attentive to the needs and preferences of the dogs and cats I care for, and am great at sticking to med schedules, going for walks in favorite parks, and anything else your pet needs! I try to be as respectful as possible of your home and keep things just as I left it.
Information Maria R. would like to know about your pet
Let me know how your pet responds to encounters with other pets--whether I should steer them away/cross the street or let them meet new friends.
A typical day
I love playing games with the dogs I look after. I tend to pursue walk routes that include time to sniff and time to run around and/or play in the dog park.
Services
Maria can watch in your home
Availability
I work weekdays 9am-5pm, so evenings (6pm-10pm) and weekends (Sat and Sun) work best for me. I am also available on most holidays. I also work from home on Mondays/Fridays so my schedule is more flexible on those days.
