Pet care experience

Worked at local HumaneSociety.

20 years old. I have lived with dogs and cats my whole life (small and large breeds). Love all pets (pet parent to dogs, cats, horses, small rodents, rabbits, birds, goats, chickens, and fish). Caregiver at the Humane Society of Waupaca County. Now work at a doggy daycare. Walked dogs that have had serious pulling problems and reactivity. (trained mine to stop pulling). Also have experience controlling lunging and badly behaved dogs. This is also a great way to get in shape and I’m currently trying to work on that. That’s pretty much it, hope you enjoy my services as much as I appreciate you choosing me to care for your baby.

Left a cash tip. Maria is good about sending photos and making sure both cats get their scratches and pets.

Maria checked on our cats each day through a blizzard and 20” of snow, and got our scaredy cat to come out and play. Super!

Maria has been sending good communication, since we are in a different country this is very important to us.

Prompt, great photos (took me awhile to figure out there were multiples) and the cats did not seem at all lonely when we got home. Thank you Maria!

I Accept all breeds. If the dog has any triggers or reactivity such as small critters, cats, other dogs, strangers, cars etc will need to be brought up. Same with behavior issues like anxiety or aggression of some sort. And ofc any medical issues and if they are fixed or not.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
