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.

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 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!

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.
