Pet care experience

Loving sitter for cats and dogs

What sets me apart is my reliability, calm energy, and experience with pets of all ages and needs—including administering medication and caring for senior animals. As a full-time military member, I’m disciplined, trustworthy, and great at following routines, which pets really respond to. I don’t just “watch” pets—I bond with them. I pay close attention to their personalities and body language so I can make them feel safe, seen, and loved. Whether it’s a shy cat, an energetic puppy, or a dog that needs meds at a certain hour, I take pride in getting it right.

We just relocated to the area and Mariah was a god send. She kept our boys while furniture was rerouted, unexpected funerals and emergency carpet cleaning.

Mariah did an excellent job taking care of my two small pups. She gave each of them oral meds and they looked happy and healthy when I picked them up. I ended up having to come 2.5 hrs after the pick up window I gave and Mariah was very understanding. Great experience!

She was easy to work with. Kobe was shy but she was patient with him until he warmed up to her. She also sent me pics. Would book her again 🙂

She’s amazing! My dog doesn’t get along with people easily at first. But Queenie loves Mariah and gets excited everytime she came to see her. Great service overall💛

Schedule

As a full-time military member, I have a structured schedule that allows me to plan pet care in advance. I’m available for boarding on weekends and for evening drop-ins or walks during the week after 4:30 p.m. I’m reliable, punctual, and committed to making sure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment with plenty of space for your dog or cat to feel at home. While I don’t have a yard, I take pets on regular walks and give them lots of indoor playtime and attention. I’m comfortable with crates, giving medications, and maintaining routines that help pets feel secure and cared for.

A typical day

Every dog is different, so I like to tailor each day to match their personality and energy level. For high-energy pups, we’ll head out for long walks, play fetch, or explore the big park near my apartment. For calmer dogs, I create a peaceful environment with gentle play, cuddles, and brain games to keep them mentally stimulated. I’m big on routine and structure, so your pet will feel secure, loved, and right at home while they’re with me.

Please let me know if your dog has any medical needs, routines, triggers, or quirks I should be aware of. I’m also happy to follow feeding schedules, medication times, and crate preferences. My goal is to keep your pup as comfortable and happy as they are at home!
