Pet care experience

Empathetic and loving with all pets

I’ve taken care of pets while growing up in my home. I have experience training, feeding and upkeeping. I get along with all breeds, I have experience with border collies, Siberian husky, labs, daschunds, German Shepard, golden doodle, and pit bulls. I also have experience taking care of cats with and without special instruction. I have hands on knowledge for cats with diabetes and feel comfortable administering medication as needed. I understand that each pet is unique and there needs can vary based on breed and environment. I’m Dedicated to this gig as my husband works from home. I am available during weekdays to dog walk and drop in visits for both cats and dogs. Can adjust hours to better accommodate clients schedule if need be. I have a partially fenced in backyard. Two black and white cats currently reside in our home named Waldo and Cali. If needed that I have your pet reside in my home I can easily crate to keep both your dog, and my cats safe. If watching at clients home I will respect and adhere by the rules of your house and tend to the needs of your pets while in my care.

Maria was great she communicated and sent pictures that helped a lot since this was my first time using this type of service for these babies. I used one years ago but had a different dog and didn’t know how my sweet babies would respond but they did great. I just always worry if the new person will be patient with my babies and she definitely was so that helped.

Maria was wonderful. She took my dog not only to her habitual walks but also introduced her to new walks and to doggy companions which my dog really enjoyed. With photos and texts to reassure me whilst I was away. Thank you Maria! Definitely keeping you in mind for next time.

We highly recommend booking with Maria for any of your pet sitting needs! She is kind, reliable, knowledgeable, flexible and trustworthy. She provides detailed descriptions of her visits with your fur baby that put your mind at ease. This is my first time using the app and she has exceeded my expectations. Do not hesitate to book with her!

Maria worked for me at my Day Care Center for about 5 years. She is a hard worker, always on time, prepared, trustworthy, energetic, loving and well spoken. I know she loves animals very much. She has taken great care of both my cat Cookie and my Goldendoidle Ilaria. She would be a great addition to the Rover family

Maria has taken care of my Yorkie poo many times while I have been away on vacation. You can’t just trust anyone with your pet, but I 100% trust her. She is very caring and attentive, she always goes the extra mile. I would trust her with any kind animal and highly recommend her for any pet sitting or walking opportunity.
