Safety, trust & environment

I try to make them feel comfortable with me in their own space, I would play with them a lot so when you get home from work they will be more calm (trust me I know they have a lot of energy). But if your pet is relaxed we can also relax, if you want we can go on walks, play games that are stimulating for them, follow the diet you’re giving him. Whatever is best for your fur baby.

Information Maria U. would like to know about your pet

Let me know your pet’s routine, medical needs, behavior quirks, and any triggers or anxieties. I want to provide safe, loving care tailored to them. The more I know, the better I can make them feel at home!

A typical day

I like for them to have a lot of mentally stimulating games and also physical, of course it will vary with each dogs depending on if they have any conditions or truly how active or lazy they want to be lol. But it is my priority to make them have fun while being active!

Pet care experience

I have been working with fostering, walking pets and help them find homes since 2022, I know the care they need and I would love to take care of them for you, I know it’s hard on who to trust when your pet needs care and I can assure you I would treat them with as much love as I would do with my own pet❤️. I’ve been taking care of some of the sweetest fur babies for a year here on Rover and wouldn’t have it any other way, the additional experience that I’ve gained in this past year I wouldn’t change it for anything! Excited to meet and work together with your best friend!🐾

Maria has been great with my dog Willy. She is attentive and follows instructions. I will be booking her again to take my dog on more walks and have check ins in the future! Would recommend!

Maria was wonderful with Loki! She is very attentive, kind, and responsible. I felt comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands, and I really appreciated her care and communication. Highly recommend her!

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.
