Availability

I work full-time, but I am done at 4:30PM every weekday except for Friday - on Fridays, I am done at 1 PM. I also have flexibility in my schedule, so I can stop by to take care of any needs during the day or work from home if a pet needs additional care. I am up early every morning to give pets plenty of time to eat and play before leaving. When I get home, the first thing I do is let pets out to potty and to play. Throughout the evening, there is plenty of time for walks and playtime before bed. .

Safety, trust & environment

First and foremost, I will strive to match or mimic the care and routine you give your pets at home. With a fenced in yard, your pet will have a safe place to potty and play. There are also many parks nearby to take your pet on walks or provide them with socialization. Pets are able to climb on furniture, sleep on my bed, and have mostly free rein of the house — my home is their home while we’re here. However, I have a pet gate I can put up and experience crating pets (as well as crate training dogs) for any pet who can’t be left free to roam.

Information Maura S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or preferences ahead of time — whether that is medical needs, feeding or sleeping preferences, special routines they need to do, or behavioral issues to watch for.

A typical day

I love going on walks and going on adventures in the area — whether that’s fun hikes, shopping trips, or getting a sweet treat. I love playing fetch, tug-a-war, and trying out new toys with furry friends. Whether your dog is energetic or a couch potato, I’ve can match that their needs.

Cozy Care for Furry Companions

Pet care experience

I am an experienced dog owner and sitter. I grew up in a family that always had pets, including cats and dogs, and have owned multiple dogs since living on my own. Currently, I have one small chiweenie and regular dogsit dogs including Cocker Spaniels, Golden Retrievers, and Great Pyrenees. Shy or nervous rescue pets are no problem! I can handle any dog big or small, high energy, timid, low energy, giant breeds, counter surfers, etc. Pets with medical issues are welcome as I have experience taking care of dogs and cats with a variety of issues who’ve needed everything from shots throughout the day or diaper changes or to receive mobility assistance. I also have experience caring for chickens if you need someone to care for your chicks.

Maura was amazing! Kept us updated and made sure our pup was well taken care of. She even went out of her way to meet us at a location more convenient to us! Would definitely use her again!

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.
