Safety, trust & environment
I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex with easy access to a large recreational park, dog park, and the beach. I conveniently live very close to LAX for easily accessible drop off of pets before a vacation or trip! I have my own space where your pet will be free to roam around. I also have an enclosed balcony for fresh air and plenty of grass area for your pet to walk and use the restroom just a few steps away. There are no other pets in my household and your dog or cat will have my full, undivided attention at all times. I adore spending my free time with animals and your pet will be in good hands!

Information Maya R. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet is friendly with other animals. If your pet tends to be more aggressive towards other dogs, I will make the necessary accommodations to ensure their safety and the safety of others. I have experience with aggressive dogs and understand that they react out of fear.
A typical day
I love being active and it’s even more fun to be active with a dog. I have a nice park near my place that would be perfect for a walk. I also live near the beach with a lovely walking path. I would play fetch and tug-a-war with your dog and keep them entertained by practicing tricks with positive reinforcement.

Pet care experience
I’ve spent a lifetime caring for both dogs and cats. In addition to my personal experience, I have several years of hands-on pet sitting experience with both dogs and cats. I genuinely enjoy staying active with pets, whether that means going on walks, visiting dog parks, or simply playing and giving them attention. When you’re away, you can trust that your pets will be treated with the same love, care, and respect I give my own. Every pet in my care is treated like family.

Reviews
As Maya’s father, I’ve watched her lovingly care for our pets for 15+ years. She is gentle, responsible, observant, and any pet owner can trust her completely.
I’ve known Maya for a long time and she is one of my best friends. She grew up with animals and has always had a natural ability to connect with them in a calm and gentle way. Pets tend to warm up to her quickly, and she has a steady presence that makes animals feel safe and comfortable right away. She has extensive experience caring for her own pets, including her dog Muggsy, her cat Kitty, and her snake Rusty. She was incredibly attentive to all of them and consistently made sure their needs were met with patience, routine, and genuine care. They were truly her babies, and she was fully devoted to their well-being. She has also often been the go-to person among friends and family whenever someone needed a reliable pet caretaker, which says a lot about the trust people place in her. She also looked after my pet when I went out of town and I felt completely at ease knowing my pet was in her care. She not only provided excellent care but also helped reinforce good habits and routines that made a noticeable difference even after I returned. Maya would be a great asset to Rover and I am confident any pet parent would be lucky to have her caring for their pets.
Every animal loves Maya! She has a natural loving/caring aura about her, that is inviting to animals and people alike. Maya treats every animal like they are her own fur baby and she is one of the most dependable caregivers I’ve ever worked with! The best part is that animals are truly Maya’s passion and it shows strongly through her work ethic, professionalism and dedication. I highly recommend Maya as your next pet caregiver, you won’t be disappointed!!
Maya is the best!!! She took such good care of my dog Zona that even my neighbor told me how attentive she was when I came back! My dog is very high anxiety and has a lot of little quirks, but Maya handled everything with such ease and care! I've had a few dog sitters over the past few years, but Maya is by far the person I've felt the most comfortable and confident leaving her with!
