I feel better when pets feel better
Pet care experience
Pets are my passion and their piece-of-mind is my purpose! I understand the anxiety pets can have when a pet owner is away from home. I genuinely care about your pets and their feelings. I pride myself on earning your pets trust quickly so any anxiety is soon replaced with feeling safe and secure. Ever since I can remember I had a love for animals. I wanted to be a veterinarian but then learned that the amount of schooling needed wasn’t for me. I found other ways to surround myself with animals. I’ve had a variety of pets growing up and into adulthood. Ranging from fish, reptiles, hamsters, birds to cats and large breeds of dogs. When I didn’t have a pet of my own I would foster and volunteer at shelters teaching puppy yoga as a way to bring awareness to animals in need and adoption. I have most recently been traveling up and down the west coast of California with my husband and young son taking care of a variety of pets and also house sitting and watching after animals for extended stays.
Reviews
Mariah is awesome! I can’t begin to tell you what a huge relief it has been to find her. Our dog gets anxiety and misses kids. When Mariah brings her child it is great and our dog is so happy! When our dog is walked and cared for she comes back relaxed and much calmer. We are so grateful for Mariah!
Mariah always goes above and beyond. Very communicative and flexible. Love knowing my pups are in good hands! She’s the best!
We were in town for our son's wedding and Mariah watched our senior pup for the rehearsal dinner and for the actual wedding, staying at our rental home for the entire time. There was the usual flurry of activity associated with a wedding with different family members coming and going but Mariah took wonderful care of our pup through it all. She kept us updated on arrival times and sent several photos of Bodie while we were out:) She is also a wedding makeup/hair stylist which worked out perfectly. Within a short amount of time, she achieved the exact look I was hoping for and we were off to the wedding! We highly recommend Mariah for any pet sitting needs ... and makeup too! She is very conscientious, kind and totally reliable. We were able to enjoy the wedding weekend knowing our doggie was in good hands:)
Mariah is the best!! Calvin is in love with Vino and we can’t be more happy with their support. They are so kind, communicative and loving. Vino LOVES them!!

Availability
I have an extremely flexible schedule. My husband and I built our lives 8 years ago so that we could be home 99% of the time, have flexible schedules and travel often. The little work that I do (2-3 hours a day remotely) is scheduled around when I want to work and typically is in the early hours or late hours. I am available for quick well checks, dog walking, longer extended stays and overnight care. Your animals will have my full attention and care for what ever is needed or more. Your home will be left in the condition I found it or better. Need help watering some plants, bringing in the mail/packages, cleaning out the dishwasher, folding the laundry, tidying up… happy to help with any additional tasks to make your time away more effortless and enjoyable!!
