Let me spoil your pups for a change

Pet care experience

I have worked as a professional dog walker and sitter for several years. Now I am bringing my services to Rover! I grew up with lots of dogs, cats, birds, and bunnies. We called ourselves the doctor dolittelers. I am happy to discuss other services as needed. Some additional things I can help with: Pet Medication & vet appointments Bathing Accepting packages Housekeeping. I always prefer to do a meet & greet prior to a pet sitting if you are able. Just so you can meet me and I can meet your furbabies. I really love what I do, and I absolutely love dogs! I don’t have enough time to commit to a dog of my own, so this is my way of getting my puppy fix. For drop ins, I will usually start with a potty break, check food and water, and then we cuddle or play games. For overnights we do much the same, just for longer periods. I like to provide photos and/or videos everyday and will always communicate if something comes up. Every client’s needs are unique. I have the most respect for your animals and your property. When we meet we will discuss your preferences on schedule, guests, and areas you would like left off limits. My priority is always that you feel safe a secure with me caring for your home and pets.

Mariah is really knowledgeable, clean and my dogs love her, but I wouldn’t book her again. I think she is simply too busy to do house sitting and the woman that helped her, Caitlin, really let her down. Unfortunately the booking was through Mariah’s page so I have to write the review here. The arrangement was that Caitlin would come when Mariah was at work. They left my dogs alone for 12+ hrs one day, and another day for 8+ hours. I didn’t check every day that I was gone because I didn’t wanna go crazy. I put on my page that the dogs were to be only left alone for 1-4 hours. I figured they’d check on them at least every four hours, or inform me if they couldn’t. Communication really lacked in that aspect.

Mariah is knowledgeable and accommodating. She was able to do a drop in visit for my three dogs, and they all loved her! I appreciated that she was very communicative and attentive.

Mariah was amazing! She was so patient with us and so accommodating! Biscuit loved having her here and can take a long time to get comfortable. Our house was just as we left it and you couldn’t even tell she was there! Highly recommend Mariah! We can’t wait to use her again to watch our pup!

If you seek peace of mind, don’t think twice about booking Mariah; she was the perfect solution for sitting our two dogs in our home overnight. Our experience with Mariah was the first time we’ve ever left our dogs or home with a sitter, so I was pretty anxious about it because our pups are the most cherished members of our family. Thankfully, Mariah’s professionalism, caring attitude towards our dogs, and fantastic communication style immediately put me at ease. What impressed me most was how she anticipated our needs and how quickly Mariah responded to my text messages; she responded within seconds every single time, no matter what time it was! And she sent regular updates as well. The peace of mind she provided my husband and me was priceless, so we were able to enjoy our trip knowing that everything was under control at home and our dogs were at ease. When we returned home, our home was spotless, and our dogs were not stressed. After Mariah left, our dogs were their usual relaxed selves, indicating that they had a peaceful experience during our absence. It was such a nice homecoming! Mariah is a very thoughtful person and sitter; she even left us some delicious rice she had cooked, which we thoroughly enjoyed! We will definitely recommend her to friends and take advantage of her services in the future.
