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!

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 an amazing dog sitter! She sent me photos every day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She was also incredibly flexible when my connecting flight home was canceled and I had to stay another night. I really appreciated her understanding and willingness to help on short notice. I would absolutely recommend Maria to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and communicative sitter.

We had Maria stay with our crazy fur baby twice now! She’s very sweet and responsible. Even reaching out when our nighty dog got into the medicine cabinet. We highly recommend Maria if you’re going away for a trip. Thank you Maria!

Maria is incredible. She was so attentive to my pup’s needs, including her laundry list of medications and fussy eating requirements. She sent frequent detailed updates and photos, asked excellent and intuitive questions, and left our home even cleaner than it was when she arrived. I am so, so grateful to her and I can tell our dog truly trusted her. We’ll be repeat clients for sure!

Will definitely book again!
