Next time I need someone to watch my pets while I'm gone, Mariah will be my 1st choice. She even got my reticent male cat to come out and meet her, instead of hiding under the bed the entire week. I could tell she would be a great fit from the start when my dog liked her right off. My animals were healthy, exercised, and happy. My 2 yr. old kitten didn't tear the house apart while I was gone, due to being bored. Mariah was sensitive to my older dog's need for exercise, but on any given day the amount of exercise varied according to how bad his limp was from arthritis. We had to return early due to the RV rental breaking down. Mariah graciously took the change in plans in stride. My husband receives medication in the mail for his arthritis that has to stay refrigerated. Mariah was flexible about this unusual request, which we really appreciate. Mariah gets 5 Gold Stars from us.
