Lover of All Floofs and Woofs

Pet care experience

I have taken care of my own family dog since I was 15 and frequently take care of my boyfriend’s family’s dog when they go on trips for extended periods of time (feeding, walking, play time). I love going on walks with dogs and would also love to meet some very talented biscuit makers! Happy to accommodate you and your lovely pet’s needs! :)

Maria is thoughtful and very kind. I appreciate the peace of mind and care she provides our pups while we are away and she keeps us in the loop and we love how much she cares! Thank you Maria

Maria is a very loving and caring person, takes good care of your dog, makes sure is well fed and walk, takes the medication at the right times and plays with the toys, follows the specific commands, she is very thoughtful, arrives on time and stays longer if needed. She is reliable, honest, my dog is picky but he loves her, I highly recommend her!

Information Maria O. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if you dog has any special needs or particular behaviors that you have noticed if they are nervous or scared. Let me know if they are treat, toy, or pet driven. If they like treats, do you have preference over what treats they can have? Does your pet like space or are they more affectionate? Do they have any triggers? (For my dog growing up since he was from the shelter and had a lot of history, he was very nervous and the clicking of his harness used to scare him) Do they have special tricks they do or certain practices while on walks you like them to do (sitting at crosswalks)? Does your pet like to socialize with others or keep to themselves? Anything else you would like me to do or know? :)

A typical day

I usually love playing a sort of tag game with my dogs. I also love playing fetch with a stick or ball. I love to run around with my dogs. If the dog is more high energy I will try to do an hour of play time at a park plus walking to and from the park (it’s a lot of fun). I also like to carry treats with me and some water. My favorite go to park in the Brookline area is Amory Park since there is so much space to run around there and there’s many dogs there to socialize with!

I currently am working part time and looking to transition to a different job so I have a lot of time on my hands! I can help out every morning during the week (early riser) and could also do afternoons if you need! I can also plan to help board at mine if you ever need!
