I currently work part-time in hospitality, so I have plenty of time to make sure your furbabies receive the care and love they deserve. Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday are my free days, and I can devote all my attention on those days to your babies. The remainder of the week, I begin work at 3pm-10pm, and I would love to check in on your pets before and after work. Just let me know your needs and I can work with you and take time off if you’re looking on going on a vacation.

About Maya R.

Safety, trust & environment

I know how to handle pets. Trust me—I’ve seen a lot. I’ve dealt with both gentle and more aggressive breeds and know how to keep your pet safe and calm. If your pet needs crating, just let me know. If your pet has a special routine it needs before bedtime, I’d love to help out. Whatever your pet needs, I’m more than qualified to assist with.

Information Maya R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if you have any special requests for me. Some pets can be picky, and I want to make sure that whatever routines your pet needs, I can know in advance so I can provide the best service possible. Please let me know if your pet needs any meds administered, needs to be crated, needs to be separated for other pets, has a history of aggression, etc.

A typical day

Bonding time is important! Whatever your pets’s needs are, I can assist. I’ll spend the day playing, petting, and feeding your babies. I’m more than happy to go on walks to the park, sightsee, or cuddle on the couch together.

Certified crazy cat lady!

Pet care experience

Hey! I’m Maya, and I have 6+ years of experience volunteering with various rescue organizations, and additionally I have 2+ years of experience petsitting for households with over 5 cats and 5 dogs! I specialize in cats, but I love dogs just the same! There’s nothing I can’t handle—and trust me, I’ve seen a lot! I believe pets deserve to be treated like royalty, and you can trust that within my care, you’ll come home to a pup/kitty with plenty of pets, love, treats, and playtime! I’ll make sure to send you pictures and video updates so you can have peace of mind that your furbaby is receiving the best care possible! A little about me—I have two cats of my own, Pharoah and Cleo, and I’m a certified crazy cat lady since birth. I’ll go above and beyond to make sure all your pets bedding, toys, litter boxes, and foodbowls are spotless by the time you return home. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you’re interested or have any questions!

I can’t recommend Maya enough!! She did an outstanding job taking care of our small puppy and two senior cats and followed our special instructions perfectly for feeding and playtime. You can tell Maya really cares about the animals and I will always recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter!!!

Maya watched my cats while I was on a holiday for 5 days. When I came back, it was apparent she had gone above and beyond to make sure both my house and cats were perfect and thriving. 10/10 I’d absolutely recommend maya to anyone!!

She spends extensive time with the animals when she cares for them and goes above and beyond to make sure their emotional needs are met as well as their physical ones. She is a true animal lover and will be an excellent pet sitter on Rover.
