Pet care experience
Hello- I have cared for dogs in a professional setting for over a decade and worked with pit bull type dogs since 2006 (with rescues/shelters). Please note that currently, I am only available Tues-Thurs to allow time for my dog Daniel’s cancer treatments. Prior to working with Rover, I owned a boutique-style doggie daycare/hotel/spa & bakery/shop for 7 years in CA prior to moving to MN. My dream job! I was nicknamed “Fairy Dog Mother” by former clients & am named in a former client’s will to take custody of their dog should they pass away. I love my doggie clients. I’d love to befriend yours & care for them. I currently own an online pet wellness company where I offer holistic remedies (herbs, CBD Oil) and other pet accessories (toys, treats). I’ve taken courses in canine herbalism & essential oil use. I am currently enrolled in pet nutrition and homeopathy classes through Dogs Naturally University. My specialty is pit bull type dogs, but I love all breeds! I’ve volunteered with BAD RAP, several shelters & currently with a Therapy Dog program. Many of my dogs passed the Canine Good Citizen exam, except my American Bulldog Trip, he was a little too goofy & derpy special to pass, LOL. I’m good with elderly, special-needs (health or behavioral) spazzy puppies, shy/anxious or leash-aggressive/reactive dogs. Nothing phases me! I’m a stickler about security & appropriate fitting collars/harnesses & if your dog is a bolter aka “flight risk” as I call them, rest assured I can handle it.
Reviews
Maureen, thanks for your flexibility when scheduling, and for the time you took with Frieda. The pictures are fun to see.
Sorry for late review, but Maureen did great with my flurkin! She kept me updated and gave him quite a bit of extra attention.
Looks like Cedar had another fun visit! Thanks Maureen!
Many thanks to Maureen for caring for our dog Cedar! He is looking forward to another visit.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Walking adventures include neighborhood walks or outings to a lake, hiking trail or DQ for a pup cup! (Permission for car rides will be asked.) i always carry a homeopathic first aid kit in case of bee stings, ticks etc. I am new to the world of cat ownership/care. If you have a cat that will fight tooth & nail to avoid meds, I may not be the best fit. I have pet sit cats that were good about taking pills but I’m still honing my more advanced cat care skills. Please note that my rates are for a 15-minute drive from Eden Valley (includes Watkins, Manannah, Paynesville, Litchfield & some parts of Richmond). Traveling outside of this range, an additional charge per visit of $5-$15 may apply to cover gas/driving time. During inclement weather (blizzard/heavy snow, icy roads or below-zero temps) I am unable to provide multiple pet sitting visits per day outside of a 15 minute radius from Eden Valley. Thank you for understanding. My family includes an 8 y/o staffy Dan, a 5 y/o staffy bull Diamond & a 2 y/o cat Dexter. My family also includes doggie angels in heaven, Pony the Pit Bull, Trip aka TripleDip, Annabelle who my daycare was named after and 102, a Dalmatian.
Information Maureen M. would like to know about your pet
After you book a walk or visit with me, I’d like to know what your dog’s favorite activities, toys and treats are to make sure we get plenty of that in! We can discuss any rules or in-progress training so that a consistent environment is maintained (not allowed on the couch etc).
A typical day
Whatever your dog’s favorite activity is - fetch, tug or snuggling - we will do plenty of! I will also make sure they get lots of snacks. On pet sitting visits or walks, I like to end every session in a calm manner with some t-touch massage.

Availability
Included in my pet sitting services, with your permission, I can hook up a pet cam to your WiFi which we can both monitor to see how your pet is doing. With your phone, you can view your dog 24/7, talk to your dog, distribute treats and play music with the built-in Alexa! In the event of an emergency or if your dog seems super stressed or sad, I can rush over to care for your pup.
