Active mom for pet sitting or walks

Pet care experience

****Attention to my loyal customers***** I opted again to accept new clients and when I did so I adjusted my rates to the 30 minutes posted, however if you have booked with me before, I will honor our previous rate and length of walk. Please ask. Thanks!!! *******For new clients**** I do offer shorter visits or walks at a discount. Please ask and we can talk it out. Thanks! I am available for pet sitting visits (dogs, cats, rabbits, etc.) and also for dog walks either on a scheduled basis or as needed. I have been with Rover a long time, before a lot of changes were made. While the rates posted are for a half hour walk, I do offer shorter walks at a discount. While my schedule is very busy with my kids I have free time throughout the day to care for your animals. I can accommodate your pet's schedule and I am willing to walk your dog in any weather when it is safe to do so. In your pet's eyes I can be no substitute for your presence but I can make the wait enjoyable until you return. I have experience with dogs and cats for many years as my own pets and I have taken care of friend's pets while they were away. Some of these pets had medical conditions. You can be assured that I will care for your pet as well as I care for mine. Thank you for considering me for this very important task. Why I love dog sitting I have owned a dog since I was a child. We have a dog and a cat at this time. My experience administering medication Yes, I have sitted for animals with medical conditions. I have administered pills and insulin injections.

Thank you so much for watching our rabbit! Maura was fantastic, she checked in on him every day and made sure he was doing well. She also took in our packages and made sure everything was ok with the house. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. Thanks much!

Maura was great to work with. She was very communicative and quick to respond, and she sent photos and updates regularly. And most importantly I felt like our dogs were well cared for. She even went above and beyond by bringing in our mail and packages. We would definitely book with her again!

Maura did an amazing job caring for our dopey dog and crazy kitten. She kept us in the loop at all times with pictures and updates. We came home to two happy animals and will definitely reach out to Maura in the future. We highly recommend her!

Safety, trust & environment

I am very respectful of other's homes and animals. I will ask many questions so that your pets are cared for according to your directions. Currently I do not offer boarding at my home.

Information Maura N. would like to know about your pet

I have now been a rather busy dog sitter and walker for many years here in the DC metro area. I have cared for young dogs and old, from tiny to huge. I listen to the pet owners and care for their pets as they wish.

A typical day

Time I'll spend with your dog This will depend on what your pet is accustomed to. I think it is better to follow a pet's schedule as closely as possible. My base rate allows for two to three visits at about thirty minutes per visit which is more than enough time for a short walk or play time in the back yard, food and water, and medicine or vitamins. If you feel more or less time or more visits are needed, please ask and we can come to an agreement. It is not convenient for me to stay overnight at your house. Extra house-sitting services I am willing to do other necessary tasks to keep your house in order, like bringing in packages or mail.

This is my only job so my schedule is very flexible. We can compromise on a schedule that works for both of us. It is very rare that an appointment or emergency disrupts my work.
