Pet care experience
I know how hard it is to leave your pets when traveling and how important it is to find a someone you can trust to care for them while you're away. I have over 15 years of experience pet sitting and have been sitting through Rover for over 5 years now. I have experience with different breeds, senior dogs and puppies, as well as cats. I am reliable and dependable and can provide references from longterm clients I have outside of Rover. I also have experience as a house director at a university where I managed several sorority houses and coordinated services to maintain the homes.
Reviews
Maria was great sitting my dogs when I was out of town. She not only made sure they were fed and gave medications but also did several visits during the day to play with them and give them cuddles. She sent several txt messages and pictures which gave me the peace of mind I needed to enjoy my vacation fully without worrying about my hyper doggies left home alone. 110% recommend Maria!
Great peace of mind having her take care of the dogs while we were out of town. The dogs loved her.
Maria has been taking care of our dogs for the past year. We are retired and are home quite a bit with our dogs so it's wonderful having someone we trust to take care of our dogs when we're gone. She is responsible and reliable, sends updates and pics of our pets. Our dogs are both rescues and have trust issues but Maria is very patient and has even gotten our most skittish dog to trust her. She does better with our dogs than we do! I fully recommend her she also takes great care of our home, it's great having someone to trust.
Maria was awesome and took great care of our boys while we were away. She provided us with regular updates on the dogs and lots of pictures! Would recommend her services to anyone.

For dog housesitting services: I provide plenty of exercise and playtime to reduce anxiety most dogs feel when their owners are away, including daily walks or runs. I will feed your pup and provide potty breaks according to their schedule, lots of playtime and plenty of attention. I am a homebody and will be there most of the day. You will receive updates and photos from me to give you peace of mind while you travel or while you're at work. I am flexible with times I can provide walks, and drop-in visits.
Information Maria T. would like to know about your pet
General information about your pet (age, activity level, etc) and veterinary information. What are the important routines in your pet's day (including eating, sleeping, exercising and playing)? Is your pet on a special diet? What amounts of food do they usually eat? When do they usually eat? How many treats are they usually permitted? Does your pet have any major and minor health problems (for example, skin allergies or old injuries)? Where are your pet's favorite toys, chew toys and treats kept? Where are your pet's favorite hiding places? Does your pet have any unusual habits (for example, your cat may regularly vomit, your puppy may urinate when showing submission)? Does your pet have any phobias or anxieties? Are any rooms or parts of the property 'off limits' for pets?
A typical day
For overnight dog sitting services: I spend the night in your home so your dogs have company and maintain their normal routine. I provide a morning walk in your neighborhood, a check-in visit during the day, and then spend the evening there, maybe do an evening walk if your dog is active. I provide meals at whatever schedule you set. I can administer medications if needed. If you have a cat I will feed on schedule, provide attention and playtime, clean littler box, etc. I can also water indoor plants and gardens, collect newspaper and mail, accept packages delivered to your home, put garbage and recycling out for collection, and do other house-sitting duties as needed while you're away.

Availability
I am available for drop-in visits, walks, or to stay in your home while you're away most days of the week, as this is my primary job at the moment. My calendar is updated regularly, but I get booked far in advance as a I have several repeat clients and clients outside of Rover. I do not book multiple clients at a time so rest assured that your pet will have plenty of attention. Before booking any services, I like to schedule a meet-and-greet and get to know you and your pet. This can be scheduled anytime convenient for you and your pet at no fee.
