We cannot do boarding or day care at this time due to our cranky princess kitty Nora but are thrilled to help with drop-ins and walks! We understand that all animals are as unique as people and are happy to meet their individual needs. If you have a dog who would benefit from a high energy playmate I'm happy to bring my pup along (or leave him home if your pets prefer calm/solitude). We also love to go hiking, so if your dog needs an extended or more stimulating walk I would be glad to take them on a nearby trail (daylight hours only). If your dog needs to be fed while you are away, let us know if he or she might enjoy trying out a puzzle feeder - we have several kinds!

Information Mariah D. would like to know about your pet

Please let us know if your baby has any special needs or behaviors. How do they react when meeting new people or animals? What are their favorite games? We love spoiling furbabies with treats - does your pet have any food allergies/sensitivities?

Lover of all animals!

Pet care experience

I have helped friends and family with pet sitting since I was little! I grew up on a small farm with an animal loving household and have experience with cats, dogs, horses, chickens/guineas, freshwater fish, and ferrets. ❤️ My partner Cullen's family always had cats and dogs, so we are both life-long pet parents who will treat your baby like one of our own. Our own dog Leo has some anxiety and GI issues so we also have experience with those special needs and oral medications. Susu and Nora are my kitties and I have had them all their lives (13 years). 🥰

Mariah is the absolute best pet sitter!! She takes extra care and attention to not only my kitties but my home. I have used her for two years and will continue too!!

I appreciate Mariah's skill, kindness, and thoughtfulness. She handled my dogs beautifully, even the rambunctious puppy. She had already checked the weather forecast before she arrived and she was prepared to keep the dogs safe in the heat. I'll have her care for my dogs again!
