Information Maritza O. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know as much as possible! Having the knowledge of the dog I will be caring for will give me a plan of action in advance.

A typical day

Love taking the dogs to dog parks, hiking on local trails , and walking around the neighborhood. I have plenty of toys for them to destroy. Love playing ball and frisbee.

Loving care, when you are not there

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for the past 25 years and find it very rewarding! All pups and cats are treated with respect and love. I am the leader of the pack and it is shown throughout the stay. I will roll around with them and give them my unconditional love! I bond with them in every level . Dogs are like children to me. All dogs are welcome , I have the patience and the love they need. I have a big backyard fully fenced-in where they can play all day. Pups are never left alone inside or out, I like knowing where they are at all times. love going on hikes and trail walks. Safety is my priority when it comes to caring for them therefor doggy parks are not in my schedule. . With me your pets will be in good loving hands Cats ? I adore cats and I love to play with them, I also take cats on walks if they are custom to it. Give me a try I won’t disappoint!! I work from home, when I take pups in, I’m with them all the time and they are never left alone. They are with me all the time and our days are filled with joy and happiness. All pups have free range in my home, the space is about 3,000 square feet so they will have plenty of space to run and play indoor or outdoor. . If you prefer your pup to sleep in crate that is fine as long as you bring your own crate. All pups are loved and care for with the outmost respect. I treat every parent and pup with the outmost respect , I send pictures, videos and updates at least once a day. I ask that you bring your own food, treats and kennels if you keep pup in kennel at night. If your dog has had kennel caught within the past 30 days I cannot board. Some pups experience diarrhea and or vomiting due to anxiety or nervousness so please keep that in mind. If your pup isn’t fully potty trained it is important that you tell me. I won’t refuse you for this reason. If your dog is aggressive please inform. In some cases parents want their pups to be the only one and sometimes I can do it but in most cases I will have other pup. I have outstanding reviews, except for one recent that client brought sick dog and it blaming me. We can’t keep everyone happy but I do try my best and it shows in my reviews and repeat clients. If your pup has special accommodations let me know so I can accommodate. Best wishes to all!! I have my own business and I work from home. If I have to go out to location, I make sure I don’t have a client schedule on day of visit. Currently not doing house calls or house sitting due soltó high volume of clients. I will consider old clients but no new one at this time.

My dog starts wagging his tail when we pull up to Maritza’s house! I appreciate the updates and photos we get during his stay.

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.
