Highlights
Pet care experience
Insured, First Aid & CPR Certified
Rare San Diego Native! I’ve raised mostly cats and two dogs growing up and have been trusted to sit friends’ dogs (also cats, rabbits, chickens) for over 20 years. I can administer shots and various medications and have performed successful CPR on a human (London, October 2022). During my undergrad, I worked for a nursing service and have also cared for a parent during in-home hospice. I have local and international sit reviews and references with contact information available. Background checked on multiple platforms. Global Entry holder. I provide a calm, nurturing environment for your pets while you’re away. I am extremely neat, tidy and self-sufficient. I also love capturing their essence through creative and artistic photography as I provide you updates throughout the sit. Fully insured through PCI, Pet Care Insurance for Pet Sitting Professionals. Pet First Aid & CPR in person certification class on May 3rd 2025. A Meet & Greet is required beforehand to determine if we’re a good fit. Preference for male dogs to be neutered, until a behavior assessment is observed. I am not a dog trainer, but I have several in my network to whom I refer. Sorry, but I do not accept new clients if I do not feel it’s a good fit. CONSTANT CARE: For extensive medical needs or extreme separation anxiety (unable to be left alone for up to 3 hours) is available at a higher daily rate. ALL ANIMALS IN HOUSEHOLD MUST BE ADDED INDIVIDUALLY TO YOUR ROVER PROFILE ALL CARE INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE COMPLETED IN THEIR ROVER PROFILE FOR EACH PET TO BE REVIEWED TOGETHER BEFORE BOOKING On repeat sits, I will ask every time for any changes or updates and will confirm with you 24-48 hours before. Please review my cancellation policy as last minute cancellations affect my ability to accept new requests because it will show that I’m booked for your time period. Thank you if you’ve read this far.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I respect and observe the pet parents’ preferences and instructions. I will ask questions if needed for clarity and will respectfully make suggestions if I sense it is needed. Safety is paramount for healthy and happy paws!
Ratings and reviews
Maureen is amazing. She anticipates your pets’ needs and goes above and beyond to provide wonderful care and consistent clear communication. She’s clean, thoughtful, reliable and conscientious. I’m so thankful we found her.
Great care, never have to worry about my hamster while I'm gone.
Maureen is fantastic. She follows instructions very closely and provides timely updates. Is a great communicator. I trust her to stay with my animals for extended periods of time and have absolutely no worries.
Maureen did a fantastic job watching my boy while I was away. She sent timely updates and pictures which made me feel more at ease knowing that Red was being well taken care of while I'm gone. She often exceeds my expectations by paying attention to details.
Maureen takes care of our sweet, timid Ziggy as if she were her own. We really appreciate never having to worry while we are away because she is in such capable hands.
Here’s a polished review you can post: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Maureen was absolutely wonderful! She stepped in at the last minute to help us, and we couldn’t have been more grateful. She is incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and immediately connected with Oso. In fact, she even taught him a new trick while caring for him! Beyond her expertise, Maureen was so sweet, caring, and attentive. She treated both Oso and our home with great respect, and it gave us complete peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We would happily have her back anytime and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter. Thank you, Maureen! 🐾💕

Schedule
My schedule is flexible if I feel it is a mutual fit. Longer term sits can be discussed, where I’d make a brief stop in to my own home 1-2 times a week. Non- Rover recognized holidays will incur a higher rate.
