Custom love for all critters!

Pet care experience

I was part of the Rover community for many years until I took a small break to start my family and move into our first home. Now I am back and ready to work with a whole new neighborhood of critters. I went to school at ISU for animal science and have had many years of experience in the animal industry (see below). Now that I am a work from home mother, I am excited for any excuse to get out of the house to see the animals of the neighborhood. I hope that I can become the go to person for any neighbors that are out of town or need a quick drop-by when they are running late. Additional Facts: - I own 2 dogs, 3 cats, and a snake of my own. - I have 2 years of experience working for a vets clinic (Can administer meds.) - I have worked with service animals and specially trained K9s. - I am available short notice and often on days not listed. (Feel free to shoot me a message to check.)

Took my animal reactive pup on a walk & made sure she was well cared for. Came to meet our pup before the drop in, helped ease my nerves of leaving our dog with a sitter!

Mariah was amazing with my animals. She took awesome care of them and provided great updates and pictures. Will for sure use her again next time I travel. Thanks a bunch!

We took a quick trip out of town and just needed quick drop-ins to ensure the fuzzballs were safe and healthy. Mariah went above and beyond. She showed up as promised and snuggled both of them. I didn't know how our dog would react to a new person without us around - she made a new friend in Mariah! Thank you, Mariah!

Safety, trust & environment

I feel every animal is special and I take my time to adjust to the pet's needs. I feel I excel with animals that typically need a quiet/slower approach to open up. My priority is that they are safe and happy.

Information Mariah F. would like to know about your pet

1. How is his/her recall? 2. Is she/he well socialized? 3. Does he/she have specific fears (thunder, vacuums)? 4. How are they with children and other strangers? 5. Any health concerns? 6. What is their favorite thing to do?

A typical day

Playing with toys and tricks. Pups can enjoy a good belly rub and cats can enjoy whatever they permit. Multiple field trips outside to different places. Walks are primarily down the street or to the park.
