Pet care experience

I would like to pet a dog

I am an almost lifelong pet owner, but I have 5 years of volunteering at an animal shelter where I socialized, trained and walked pets to prepare them to be adopted. I am also a casual pet sitter for friends.

Safety, trust & environment

I will make sure they are fed, have clean bowls and will take them on walks. They will get lots of play time and I will hang out with them so that they are not alone.

Maria was great with Jax! He is a Malinois, full of energy, so can be a handful. We would book with her again.

Maria took great care of our cats while we were away for a couple of weeks - even when they were divas and required extra attention. Would love to have her watch them again.

Maria was AWESOME! She checked in periodically, the dogs felt comfortable around her, she exceeded my expectations. It really felt like our pets did not go without. Their water canister was completely full when we returned, she was able to take the dogs on walks, she tidied up the litter box! Will rebook again and again. Thank you so much, Maria!

Maria was very good at keeping us updated with pictures and communication about our pups. We knew our dogs were in good hands :)

This is the only time I've had Maria dogsit for me since she signed up for Rover, but it's far from the only time it's happened outside of the app. She's a good friend of mine who always treats Sophie well, just as she does with her own pets and all the other animals she's been around. Highly recommend. :)
