Mariah did an absolutely amazing job with my two anxious, dog-reactive boys! She was incredibly patient, caring, and attentive to their individual needs. She kept me updated throughout the visit, was very communicative, and took the sweetest pictures. I left detailed notes, and she really took the time to read them and follow everything carefully. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my boys were in such good hands. I highly recommend Mariah and will definitely be booking with her again!

Maria was amazing! Super communicative, friendly, and very prompt. I’ve had other Rovers who have charged for time and not actually walked my dog as long, and it was clear Maria was trustworthy and really provided excellent walks. Would definitely use her again!

Maria saved me by walking my 2 dogs at the last minute. She dropped what she was doing to help me, took both of my large, strong dogs, and even braved both in the rain-which I feel terrible about. Not feeling well, she really took charge of both dogs, and headed out. I highly recommend her!

Schedule

I’m very flexible with my pet care routine, easily adapting to the needs of each animal and the schedules of every family. Whether during the day or throughout the week, I strive to provide consistent, loving, and personalized care so that every pet feels safe and happy.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a very safe neighborhood, which gives extra peace of mind to those who trust me. My friends and neighbors often leave their pets in my care when they travel, knowing they’ll be in a protected environment, receiving plenty of love, attention, and the care they need while their families are away.

A typical day

We explore a big park, sniffing new trails and playing fetch with excitement. We race around, jump over little obstacles, and chase bubbles in the sun. After all the fun, we relax under a tree with cuddles and treats. Your pet feels happy, loved, and full of adventure — just like family.

Before taking care of a pet, it’s important to know their daily routine, basic needs, personality, possible fears, and have an emergency contact available in case of unexpected situations.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
