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.

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.

Time and time again Mariah has been reliable, timely and provided a level of professionalism that no other walker has come close to matching.

Mariah was amazing, she took great care of my cats. One of them was very shy and she gave him space and let him warm up to her. She messaged me pictures every day and gave updates. Answered all of my questions! She was very prepared when I dropped them off and picked them up. Would use her again if I needed to!

This was Mariah's 2nd time taking care of Abel while I was out of town and I couldn't be more satisfied! She was right on time for every visit and they did very well together. He even let her take a picture of him, which he NEVER does!

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!
