About Maria S.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I believe in a “better safe than sorry” approach. I’ll communicate often and carefully follow any instructions you provide to keep your pet safe and happy. Feel free to reach out anytime—I’m quick to respond and excited to meet your pet!
Information Maria S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know ahead of time if your pet has any special needs or quirks I should be aware of. This helps me ensure I’m the best sitter for your pet and take care of them as if they were my own.
A typical day
I love to take long walks, but I can adapt to the length or speed that your pet prefers. I’m getting into running so if your pet needs more exercise, I’m happy to take them on a jog to get more of their energy out. I’m also a huge proponent of letting dogs sniff as long as they want because it’s their way of catching up on the latest news!

Pet care experience
Hi there! I’m Masha, a full-time work-from-home tech marketer with a flexible schedule and an active lifestyle. I’ve been offering pet care since high school, starting as a way to spend more time with dogs and earn a little extra. Growing up in a house with four large dogs, I got hands-on experience caring for puppies when our dog had two litters. I monitored and cared for 8-10 puppies until they were ready for adoption. Though I travel too often to have my own pet, I've been caring for friends’ dogs and cats for over five years. While most of my experience is with dogs, I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Even though I don’t have a pet of my own, I love having the opportunity to care for and connect with other people’s pets through Rover. Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priorities. I aim to provide an stress-free, fun environment, ensuring you feel confident and worry-free when you’re away. I’m here to help whether you need a sitter while traveling, working, or running errands.
Reviews

Maria was absolutely amazing with my dog, Kora! Kora is a Belgian Malinois, so she's extremely energetic, but Maria and her husband did an incredible job keeping up with her and making sure she got plenty of exercise and playtime. They truly went above and beyond to keep her happy and tired out. Maria also sent daily pictures, videos, and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I never had to worry for a second. I highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter!


The most AMAZING sitter.

Maria was amazing! She took such good care of our dog Cami and sent updates everyday. Communication was great and she took very good care of our place.

Masha was incredible taking care of our little reactive dog while we were on vacation. She is the only person I trust caring for our dog and is incredibly responsive and responsible. We are grateful for you Masha!
