Safety, trust & environment

I follow the instructions given for your pet’s continuity of care while you are away. Your fur baby’s comfort and trust is of the utmost importance!

Information Maya C. would like to know about your pet

History of aggression or separation anxiety. I would also like to know if the pup is friendly with other dogs or any quirks they may have on walks. I love all breeds :)

A typical day

I am happy to take your pup to the park for extra socialization. When weather is inclement, I can play fetch with your pooch indoors or give extra belly rubs if your pup just prefers to lounge.

Experienced Pet Nanny - Hyde Park

Pet care experience

I started out dog and cat sitting for close friends and family and decided to extend my services to others in my neighborhood. I am a responsible, reliable person who knows how important your furry friend is to your family. In addition to sitting, in the past I have volunteered with a cat rescue, taking care of up to 10 cats at a time, cleaning, brushing and playing with them to make their time at the shelter better. My goal is to provide your pet with the best care, so you can have a stress-free vacation! PS-My sister is a dog trainer, so I also have some informal training experience.

I was delighted that Maya could help us, when we planned an out of town trip on fairly short notice. She has taken care of our cats in the past, so we knew we were leaving Casey in good hands. Maya sent us regular reports and cute pictures, and Casey was very mellow when we got home. 5 star care!

Super prompt and communicative, really helped me out in a tight spot! Got both my kitties to come out, happy they had good company.

Maya is AMAZING! This was my kittens first time at home by themselves and I was a little nervous. However, Maya made me feel so comfortable with all the photo updates and promptly responded to any of my texts. I highly recommend her!

Provided excellent care and went above and beyond following instructions. My cat warmed up to her very quickly.

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.
