Information Maria O. would like to know about your pet

Health history; any allergies, intolerances, or health problems. I like to know how they are with other dogs, if I’m walking them if I should avoid certain sized dogs or to avoid cats in case they want to give chase. I do not have a preference, I love dogs of all breeds and sizes. I have the most experience with chihuahuas and Italian greyhounds.

A typical day

When I have walks in a place where I am not familiar I like to take walks to different places than they usually venture out to. Dogs love smelling new smells so it’s a great opportunity for them to explore a new area. I love playing fetch and teaching dogs how to do tricks for treats. I find most dogs who are food motivated are willing to try and learn.

Providing loving &reliable pet care

Pet care experience

I’ve always had a special connection to animals.I treat every dog or cat I meet with love and respect. It’s important that the animal I care for is comfortable around me as that is important to me as a dog momma. I try to be as thorough as I can with my meet and greets so I can be as prepared to provide the best care as possible. My ideal client is someone who is ready to have fun and take lots of pictures(taking Pictures while they’re having fun is harder than it seems) I look forward to meeting your furry family. 🐶 I am flexible with my clients as I am Doing rover full time so I can devote myself to my clients schedules and their animals.. While doing my drop-ins I can give you peace of mind by coming to let your dog(s) out to go potty, feed &give water ro them, and if time/temperature allows, play with them. I like to send cute pictures of your pet, even while doing something as simple as a walk.

We have a puppy at home and wanted someone to come by and let him out and play with him. Maria was so kind and helpful and brought our packages in for us too. She was on time and communicative and we will definitely use her again!

This was Maria’s third visit but this time she was sitting then for a whole day. She was amazing and followed all instructions and truly cared for the dogs. She made sure they were comfortable, loved and happy. She was in constant communication with me as she knew how nervous I was! Truly did an amazing job with taking care of the kids.

This was Maria’s 2nd visit with the dogs and she got right into it by greeting them and letting them out. They were even really excited to see her.
