I work a regular job but am flexible outside around that. Monday-Thursday this is an 8-hour shift, and Friday this is a 5-hour shift. When sitting, this means I am there for your pet right before and right after a shift and flexible during most other hours and on weekends. Let’s connect and discuss your needs.

I will be as attentive and engaged as you and your fur-babies need. I am experienced in reading your pet’s body language to know if they need extra engagement or other physical needs. I am happy to take your pets in my car to play at the park, join me at the cafe, or to drop off somewhere. Let me know what your pets need and we can work together to make it happen.

Information Marybeth O. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any triggers toward anxiety or aggression so I can to avoid those things. Of course, inform me of their schedule, meal servings, medications, and all their favorite things.

A typical day

I will spend time getting to know your pet and their favorite activities. Depending on their preferences, we’ll spend lots of time outside, have some fun training sessions for mental stimulation, or take a leisurely walk around the block.

Whole-Hearted Trainer & Sitter

Pet care experience

Hello! I am a New-Orleans-raised local and a dog trainer. I grew up with a houseful of pets—dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, rabbits, fish…We literally called our home the zoo. I live with two adorable pups (my roommate’s) and many, many plants. I am looking forward to bonding with your fur babies, caring for your home, and exploring your neighborhood! I have over 15 years of experience in general pet care and 6 years in canine training. I spent a recent summer pet and housesitting full-time and continue to do so while traveling throughout the year. It has been a blast and incredibly rewarding. I am experienced and comfortable with the smallest of puppies all the way up to giant breed dogs. I enjoy patient training that joyfully engages your canine and am also skilled in leash training, a vital foundation to an adjusted pup. If you hire me, my walks will be structured and help your dog grow in communication and impulse-control. I, of course, would also love to care for your cats, small animals, and more non-traditional pets. I can disperse medication and handle a diverse range of circumstances.

Marybeth is truly awesome! She was fantastic at communicating—always sending me the most adorable pictures and keeping me constantly updated. I came home to a spotless house, and I could tell my sweet Charlie absolutely loved her. Couldn’t recommend her more!
