I have a good amount of flexibility in my schedule. My weekend mornings, afternoons, and evenings are open as needed! My work is as a consultant, and I sometimes have very early or very late calls, but those generally won't conflict with any walking/pet care needs.

Safety, trust & environment

It is important for me to work with client's to understand ground rules for their pets and their homes. I will always follow client directions and go through a set of prelim questions (i.e. feeding and walking schedule, off-limit areas, any allergies/medical concerns etc.) before taking on any pet services. The safety and happiness of pets and clients is my number one priority!

Information Maya R. would like to know about your pet

It is helpful to know how a dog interacts with other dogs and flag any areas/sounds that might cause a dog to feel uncomfortable and/or any traumas or health issues that might require special care.

A typical day

I love to be active and am happy to adjust a pet’s energy levels. From playing catch at a local park to going for a speed walk or even a run, I am down to be as active or as low key as a pet needs!

Maya is the best! So reliable and thoughtful. She’s been a flexible, helpful resource when I’ve needed a last minute sitter for Des!

Maya was willing to meet before the trip and shared prompt updates with photos. She managed my cat’s feeding and medicine while giving him some much needed attention during drop in visits.

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.
