Information Maria Z. would like to know about your pet

I need to know your dog’s typical routine and special needs and sensitivities. I will need to know if he is potty trained, crate trained, where he prefers to sleep, how he is with new people, and new dogs. I will do my best to keep his routine as stress-free and familiar as possible. If your dog uses a crate, please bring it with your dog when you come for boarding. Also, I require proof of up to date Rabies vaccine.

A typical day

I love to stimulate the dogs mentally and physically with fun games and training exercises and explore different parts of the neighborhood with daily walks.

Pet care experience

I live in Holbrook NY. I work full time out of my home. I previously have had a Pomeranian and 2 Australian Shepherds and a beagle who I have spent a lot of time training. I groom my own pets and can groom your pets for an extra fee. I currently have a 5 year old male Australian Shepherd. My animals are my family nothing less. If I was lucky enough to care for your dog, I would treat him or her like a family member and promise he/she would not be alone during the day. I have experience with basic training and would be happy to continue training your pup while staying with me for no additional cost. I also have an agility training course that I can set up in my backyard to work with your dog.

Maria is a wonderful Dogsitter. Buck loves her excellent care and has no anxiety staying with her, which is a great relief to me.

Maria was great for the 1 night stay! She has an Aussie, I have an Aussie...and her home was conducive to my Aussie. She treated my Charlie like her own.

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.
