Pet care experience

So excited to meet your pet!

I am a Mother of 4 grown daughters! I am a single woman and I love animals and the love they bring to my life. I had all kinds of pets as a child and in my married household we had a loving and sweet Shih Tzu that was like another daughter to me. I regularly dog sit my 2 Grandoodles Hazel and Daisy and my other daughter has a husky/shepard mix named Charlie. I live alone and have so much time to devote to your pet! I am very patient... (even with the most stubborn of pets) I am available with much flexibility weekly and weekends. Please consider me as your next house/dog sitter! Your pet/home are absolutely my very first priority when house/pet sitting. I’ll keep your pet/pets safe and loved throughout our time together. Nothing is more important.

Outstanding experience. Maria was very kind to help me and my husband watch our babies on our wedding day, she actually took the time to come meet them the day before. The girls were very well taken care of, and happy as they can be. If I ever come back to Fort Myers for any events will definitely reach back out to her.

Maria was great. I scheduled her for a couple of drop in visits on a day we were going to be gone all day. She contacted me an hour before her first visit because there was rain in the forecast. She asked about how the dogs were in the rain and checked to see if she should walk them or plan for the backyard. She sent pictures and communication was great. I’ve already scheduled her for an upcoming overnight stay.

Maria is a wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of our furry troop! When we came home after a weekend away our pets were relaxed and happy.

Thank you Maria for taking care of our sweet baby! She seemed happy and we got lots of photos while gone. ☺️ We would definitely trust Maria to take care of our girl again.

Absolutely nothing comes before watching your pets! I do prefer to watch your pet/pets in their own environment as they are most comfortable in their own homes.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Maria can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Feeding schedule, sleeping schedule, what your pets daily activities are like, what activities does your pet love most etc. if I’m house sitting as well (sleeping over) where are your pets comfortable sleeping.
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.
