Pet care experience
We are absolutely in love with Spam & Subi. We adopted both of them from TX in 2021. We groom and bathe them and their paw friends from home.
Reviews
Excellent care! We went to Maria to watch our elderly dog while we were on vacation. Pepper loved it so much we are now doing some doggie day care and play time with her little dogs. You just can’t get better, more thoughtful care than with Maria. Spam and Sobi are the best too!
Maria was truly the best dog sitter I’ve ever had! My dog is old. She needs lots of patience, a lot of love, and a sitter who is willing to go the extra mile. Maria was that, and more. I was nervous about leaving her because she was just recovering from “Old Dog Vestibular” which causes nausea and vomiting, extreme dizziness, sensitivity to noise, pain, minimal appetite, sensitivity to light, and extreme balance issues. For the most part, the severe symptoms had subsided by our departure date, but I was still nervous about leaving her. She was on medication, plus has a cyst on her side that she will not leave alone and requires bandaging for now, until the vet says it’s ok to remove. The fact that Maria works from home was a huge benefit for us so that if my dog had a relapse, someone would be there for her. My dog loved playing in the backyard with her two little dogs too! I recommend Maria wholeheartedly without any reservations! In fact, we’ll be going for some doggie day care sessions just so Pepper can see Spam and Sobi again!
Maria is truly amazing! Extremely reliable, attentive and compassionate with our two boys. We love our pups so much and it's comforting knowing Maria does too.
Maria is an exceptionally conscientous and responsible dog owner and caregiver. She is very well versed in medical issues, both routine and emergent, and proper nutrition. Maria is an excellent choice of provider, and will provide round the clock, in home care for your beloved pet.

Safety, trust & environment
After walking in the morning, I prepare their food and they eat. I let them out throughout the day to play and potty until I get off from work (3 pm). In the afternoon, my husband and I play with them. After dinner, we take our dogs out to walk again and feed them. We go to bed after. Spam & Subi sleeps inside our room with us.
Information Maria O. would like to know about your pet
I will need to know if your dog has special needs/medication that I will need to administer. I have 8+ years of experience as a pharmacy tech, my experience with dog medication is simply giving my dog’s maintenance oral medications (ie flea/tick, heart worm, Dasuquin, and pain meds from neutering). I am confident that I will be able to take care of your pet as long as proper instructions are given :)
A typical day
My dogs often have play dates with their paw friends at the dog park once a week. I like having them run around to expend some energy to ensure that they can sleep well at night. My backyard is fenced in as well as a privacy cover because Spam can fit through the cracks. We also placed huge rocks along the lining of the fence for more protection. Spam likes to dig and he is roughly 14 pounds so he can fit in those tiny openings.

Availability
I have been working from home for 4 years now so I will be with the pets 24/7. Our morning routine includes walking a little less than a mile before working and another mile in the evening. Spam & Subi gets frequent breaks every 2-4 hours to play for 10 minutes or so in the backyard.
