North Hills work-from-home sitter!

Pet care experience

From growing up in a farm in Greece, I’ve taken careful care of just about any animal you could consider a pet — dogs, cats, even a duck! My passion for animals and their well-being has always been integral to who I am.

Maria was so sweet and took such great care of my pup while away on vacation💗

I recently had the pleasure of having Maria dog sit for my Bernedoodle, HoneyBear, while I was away for a weekend. Maria was absolutely wonderful, and I returned to a happy and relaxed pup! From the initial contact, Maria was professional and responsive. She took the time during our meet-and-greet to really get to know HoneyBear, asking about her feeding and walking schedule, her likes and dislikes, and any specific behaviors or commands that are important in her routine. While I was away, Maria sent me daily updates with photos and little anecdotes about what HoneyBear was up to, which I really appreciated. It was clear from the updates that HoneyBear was not only well-cared for but also having a great time. They went on multiple walks each day and even visited a nearby park for some extra playtime. I will be rebooking with Maria next time I am out of town and HoneyBear is unable to join me. 10/10 recommended.

Information Maria S. would like to know about your pet

Please be aware that my building has pet restrictions, and I cannot host pit bulls/pit mixes or any dog over 50lbs. Please let me know: Health Information: It's important to know if a dog has any pre-existing health conditions or if they require any medications or special treatments. This includes any allergies, dietary restrictions, or medical issues that may require attention. Temperament: Any notes you may want to include about their behavior around other dogs, children, and strangers, as well as their energy levels and activity preferences. Owner preferences: This includes any specific instructions for feeding, medication administration, and other routine care tasks.

A typical day

My typical day revolves around your pet! I make sure that they get nice, long walks every few hours, and are fed and watered. In terms of fun activities, there are plenty of things that I can do with the dogs, depending on their preferences and energy levels. This could include playing fetch, going for a run, or simply cuddling up for some relaxation time. I always make sure to tailor my activities to the individual needs and preferences of each dog, ensuring that they have a great time while in my care. When it comes to walks, I have a few special places that I like to take the dogs. One of my favorites is a nearby park with lots of open space for the dogs to walk around leashed and explore. There are also nearby dog parks for playing fetch, and plenty of spots for them to sniff and investigate, which they always seem to enjoy. Overall, my goal as a rover is to provide the dogs with a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience while their owners are away. I always strive to create a fun and engaging environment for them, and I take great pride in ensuring that they are happy and healthy while under my care.
