I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment with plenty of space for your dog or cat to feel at home.

Information Mariah A. would like to know about your pet

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!

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.

Loving sitter for cats and dogs

Pet care experience

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.

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💛

I boarded my cat Phoebe for several days with Mariah. She took excellent care of her and my cat seemed at ease with her and her home. She was responsive to my messages and sent daily photos. I would recommend Mariah for pet boarding.
