Pet care experience

Experienced sitter & foster

**I have 5 years of experience fostering and training reactive, aggressive, and fearful dogs. I’ve seen many transform into well-adjusted companions under my care** I spent years tending to older dogs and cats with various health issues like hip dysplasia and incontinence, in addition to caring for puppies and kittens, too. I am patient and kind even with the highest maintenance puppies. I fostered neglected/previously abused dogs with Carolina Adopt-A-Bulls rescue for over 4 years. I am very experienced with mitigating leash reactivity and caring for heartworm-positive pets throughout their treatment, and I look out for dangerous situations before they happen. I am well versed in canine first aid and wound care. I am also a foster volunteer through the Bloomington Animal Shelter. I do not currently have a foster dog. I am attentive, caring, experienced, and kind. I can’t wait to meet your pets.

Mariah was very thorough in her questions about the care of our two girls. She sent pictures and comments to keep us updated on how they were doing. Would not hesitate to rebook with her.

Mariah is super communicative and responsive and sent me updates throughout my dog Bijou’s stay! Sounded like Bijou had a great time and I’ll definitely book her again!

This is the second time we have used Mariah as our sitter and we have no doubt we will use her again and again. Her attention to and care for our girl goes above and beyond, we could not recommend her more.

Mariah was an excellent sitter for our girl Millie. She sent us lots of pictures, and Millie looked so happy and cared for. She got lots of walks and hikes, as well as indoor playtime with doggy games and puzzles. She was also generously flexible with our pickup time. We are extremely satisfied and will definitely be booking with Mariah again!

Mariah can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I’d like know how your dog behaves on a leash and how they do with other dogs, as well as any other quirks that might need special attention. **Please confirm date of last flea & tick preventative at time of booking** FOR TRAINING WALKS: dietary restrictions, bite history; more thorough history will be collected at time of first meeting. Please note that I am not offering formal training as I am not currently credentialed. I am used to waking up around 8:30 or earlier if your dog will need to go out for a potty break. I'd prefer not to sit pets who will need to go out before 6:30.
