Pet care experience

Maya’s Pet Massages relaxin babies

I am very good judge of character and animals are attracted to me all day long. They usually trust me and feel safe with me immediately. I’ve been on rover for 5yrs. Previously I took care of family, friends, professors, and coworkers pets. I have been a bunny mom (7yrs) as well as a cat mom. I grew up with dogs and lizards throughout my extended family as well as in my home. My father raised dogs and I learned to attend to them early. I enjoy pets more than people because they lead with authenticity, joy, and playful good will. I have professionally cleaned houses so you will never have to worry about me disrespecting your space or neighbors peace. I’m really quiet as I come and go. I am Maya’s Pet Massages, the companion your baby will look forward to hanging out with.

Safety, trust & environment

Focused play time. Training treats to practice & reinforce commands. Extended walks to ensure sound sleep. There is plenty of one on one time and games. I bring toys, treats, and plan activities specific to holidays for them to enjoy.

Dwayne loves to have Maya around and we have always enjoyed our time out of town when we know our boy is being taken care of by Maya. Thanks so much! We will miss you now that you’re moving 💔💔💔

Maya was amazing with Lobo; I wish she wasn't moving because he really seemed to enjoy her. He was so mad when she left, and he wanted her to come back. She went out of her way to make him comfortable and got him through the Fourth of July. He is a needy guy, so I am super grateful that Maya was able to handle his neediness and give him the love he needs. She left the place super clean and sent me tons of photos and videos of Lobo (which kept me at ease). She even bought him treats :) Thank you, Maya!!

Maya is our favorite sitter for our two pups. She’s their favorite too! She is reliable, responsible, and communicates often. She loves her work and loves our girls. It’s obvious from the joy in the videos she shares & the ways she spoils them. It always feels like our pups are on vacation too when Maya is with them.

Maya is amazing with our pups. She takes them on long walks, brings special treats for them, showers them with playtime and affection. They even went on a cute adventure to our local pet shop to get their pics taken with the Easter bunny. They absolutely love her. We have an aggressive dog in the neighborhood that is often off leash and Maya is one of the few people we trust to walk and protect our dogs under these circumstances While we were gone Maya found a flea on one of the pups. She totally took control, washing blankets and toys, administered their meds (with my permission) vacuumed & mopped and gave the dogs multiple baths. We didn’t expect her to do any of this & even told her to not worry. She really went above and beyond.

I do this professionally. This is my full time job. I often have drop-in visits along with my house sittings. I’m pretty good at organizing my time and it works out well for all pets and families.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Maya can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
How does your dog do with other dogs? Are they a little fearful or overly friendly? Any feeding/treat restrictions? What is their favorite toy/activity? I’m good a directions so if you spell out any special requests for your pooch/kittay, I will get it done. I am capable of giving tons of energy or being chill as needed. We all need grace sometimes.
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.
