I am currently unemployed and looking to fill my day with adventure and new connections while I tough through this difficult time! I have an open schedule, although I do have a sleep disorder that makes me wake up much later in the day, and stay up much later at night. So, if you ever need late night care, I am your person! I currently own a well mannered, dog and cat friendly, Corgi puppy who I rescued from a puppy mill situation in NY, he is my little pride and joy. Since my schedule is open, I am flexible for most needs for pet care!

About Mariah P.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I always keep my personal dog on a leash, he is never off leash when outside, and that extends to anyone's dog(s) in my care! I let pets come to me and never force them to interact with me if they do not want to. I have studied cat and dog behavior/psychology for years to better understand how to work with even difficult, fearful, or aggressive pets. Time and patience is what I have a lot of, and I move with love an empathy first, giving pets all the space and understanding that they may need to build their trust with me. My personal home is a very calm, quiet, adult only home; my car has a dog back seat cover and doggie seat belts to keep mine and your doggos safe while traveling! I do take my own dog to a quiet, not well known dog park so he can run to hit hearts content since I do not have a yard. I leave the dog park if dogs arrive that are not friendly to my dog as I do not want him to experience negative incidents that may harm his happy-go-lucky attitude towards other dogs. Not everyone likes dog parks, so I will not take your doggo to a dog park, ever, if you are not comfortable with that! I have a very safe and walkable street for my apartment, a portion of which is blocked off for child safety so children can play in the streets. There is also a quiet park near by, which I bring my dog to at night when I take him for his daily walks.

Nerd Who loves Pets
Pet care experience
I have grown up with all sorts of animals as well as owned many different animals as an adult! Whether it be birds, cats, dogs, fish, bearded dragons, hamsters, or ferrets, I've probably owned it at least once. I currently own a Pembroke Welsh Corgi named Ein. I have experience taking care of pets of all ages, from new born to super seniors, my first pet as an adult was a senior kitty. I pet sit for my friends often, most of which have cats. I am a bit of a nerd, I repair game consoles, electronics, and PCs and I love video games, anime, cosplaying, and repairing cars. I am LGBTQIA+ friendly as I am queer myself, I am also understanding of folks with disabilities as I am also disabled! I formerly worked at Petco for a few years and assisted with animal husbandry, dog training, and dog grooming. You name it, I have probably worked with almost any animal! I also grew up in rural Eastern WA, so I grew up on farms and taking care of livestock, chickens, sheep, goats, etc. Feel free to ask any questions!
