Whole-Hearted Trainer & Sitter
Pet care experience
Hello! I am a New-Orleans-raised remote executive assistant with a side gig of canine training. I grew up with a houseful of pets—dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, rabbits, fish…We literally called our home the zoo. I have a spunky cat named Care, and many, many plants. I am looking forward to bonding with your fur babies, caring for your home, and exploring your town! I have over 15 years of experience in general pet care and 6 years in canine training. I spent last 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.
About Marybeth O.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
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 or drop-off somewhere. Let me know what your babies 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 know to avoid them. 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 his favorite activities. Depending on her preferences, we’ll spend lots of time outside, or have some fun training sessions for mental stimulation, or take a leisurely walk around the block. If a weekday, I will take multiple breaks between my remote work tasks to engage and care for your pet. If a weekend, we may go on a longer walk or outing.

Availability
I am grateful to have a remote, incredibly flexible job. My cat has an auto-feeder and I have incredible roommates to watch over her when I am away. I am lucky to have vast availability to help care for your fur-babies and be sure my girl is also well cared for.
