Prefers dogs to people

Pet care experience

Hello! I have extensive experience caring for and walking dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments -with a special love for senior pups. My own good boy passed away recently, so I am currently a no-dog household, enjoying loving on other peoples' dogs until I'm ready to get one of my own again.

Maria was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of my boy Hoss while I was on a work trip. I don't think he even noticed I was gone, as she provided a safe, comfortable and enriching environment for him. I received multiple updates and photos per day of the various activities Maria and Hoss were up to, with him clearly enjoying every single moment of his 3 day stay with her. Couldn't recommend Maria more and will definitely book with her again in the future!

I am a helicopter dog parent and Maria made everything super easy and stress-free! My dog seemed very calm and comfortable at her place and drop-off and pick-up went smoothly. Very pleased with my first Rover experience :)

Another great stay with Maria. Our Charlie is lucky to have her to put up with his “quirks”!! Highly recommend.

Safety, trust & environment

I don't have a yard, but my neighborhood is walkable with green space nearby, and my apartment is quiet and accessible. I have hardwood floors (easy clean up for any messes) and my own crate, so if you need day care or boarding, I can provide that. I cared for my own dog here until recently, so I have a familiar routine and my apartment is very dog friendly.

Information Maria S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know how your dog feels about other four-legged friends and children (in case we encounter them on walks). Also, if they have any dietary restrictions or known allergies. It's also important that your dog is crate trained and house trained, so if I need to leave for a few hours, I know things will be okay!

A typical day

I'm up for whatever your dog enjoys - playing catch, going for a jog - or for the older pups, just people watching and sniffing around. I like to explore whatever park is near your home!

I work part-time hours, usually in the evenings, so I have time to check on your pup and give them potty breaks and exercise during typical 9-5 work hours. I'm also a morning person, so getting up early to take care of your dog is no problem at all! My neighborhood is great for walks and my apartment is one level (easy for older pups and little puppies).
