My priority is not only the physical but also mental health of your pets. I find it important to ensure the most leisurely vacation possible, by keeping your pets entertained and loved, anything I can do to help alleviate the stress of them missing their owners! (Vice versa)

Information Maya R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pets get along with other dogs, or who and what to avoid when walking with them. Also if there’s anything in general that your pet gets stressed by, and strategies you use to comfort them. As well as with cats, how needy or avoidant they are would be good to know as well, and where they like or dont like to be pet.

A typical day

I love to keep your pets stimulated, whether its with a bone, ball, snuggles, or park time. Smelling the flowers around the neighborhood, or even watching tv has been beneficial for some cats in my experience.

Maya is a sweet and caring dog walker, our dog Scout was going through a hard patch meeting new Rovers and Maya had the magic touch to make Scout trust strangers. The beginning of the week started with a dog that would run away when the Rover came but it be end Scout was excited to see Maya as she was to see me when I came home! Such a comforting feeling to know that my dog was in great hands.

Maya does an outstanding job caring for my dog and two cats. Maya has cared for my pets for over a year. She feeds them, walks my dog, gives my older dog his medications, and spends the night at my home when I'm out of town. She also takes really good care of my home. I totally trust and highly recommend her.

Maya is an Animal Whisperer and just God sent! We moved to our new house and my cat was having a tough time adjusting. Also an elder cat with kidney degeneration, my cat was refusing to eat his prescription food. Maya's great patience and creative ways got my cat to eat his food and helped him to bounce back to health. Maya's love for animals and great care for my cat is evident. She would take time to check on my cat multiple times a day, even after her contractual shift, to make sure my cat's doing fine, until I could get home. Her attention to detail and updates on my cat is also very heartwarming when I would be away. Any pet parent and their fur babies would be so lucky to have Maya's care. I highly recommend Maya!

Maya is very compassionate and patient. She walks 2 of my dogs and 1 of them is anxious aggressive, but that did not put her off at all. Maya takes her time to allow my dog to warm up at her own pace. I would highly recommend Maya to walk or watch your furry babies!
