Dog/cat lover with flexible hours!!

Pet care experience

Hey guys, welcome to my profile! I am 23 years old and just graduated from ASU last year. I am a brand new real estate agent and do Rover as a “second job” just for fun! I took a 2-3 year break from Rover to focus on my studies and due to COVID, but I have spent the past 6 years pet sitting and I am very comfortable around all dogs and cats. I am more than willing to meet you and your pups beforehand to make sure we get along! During a stay, I will make sure your dog gets the right amount of love and attention while you are away. I love going on walks and spending time getting to know each and every animal I take care of. I also love taking care of cats! I have 2 of them myself. If you would like to book with me, please send me a message so we can talk!

Maria did an amazing job while I was away. She was very descriptive and attentive during her drop ins and knew what to do with my anxious dog who was having a sitter for the first time. He wasn’t really eating at first but Maria was able to gain his trust for meals and walks. I will definitely book with her again! :)

Maria took such loving care of my silly, toddler Pomeranian! She was in contact frequently with pics, updates and I know my girl felt safe at home when I was away. Very grateful to Maria, thank you!!

Information Maria S. would like to know about your pet

If you have a dog who gets nervous when you’re away, I would love to meet beforehand to see if they feel comfortable with me. Please let me know if your dog is not comfortable around other dogs or animals in case we run into someone on a walk! When you’re dog is in a stressed state, what do you do to calm them down?

A typical day

I prefer to go on walks in the morning when it’s cool or even go to the dog park. It’s important to let dogs run around and get their energy out. I like going to chaparral park since there is so much room. If you prefer to not have your dog around other dogs, I have no problem walking around the neighborhood just the two of us.

Availability

For the next few weeks I am working from home so I am fully available to take care of your pets. Since I am a new agent, I will occasionally be out of the house in 2 to 4 hour intervals. If anything changes I will make sure to let you know, but I am pretty flexible with time if your pet needs to be feed or walked at a certain time.
