Pet care experience

Veteran/ Kennel Tech experience.

Finding someone that you can absolutely trust with your fur-baby while you leave is definitely a hard decision to make and that is something I've struggled with myself. I've grown up with dogs my entire life, ranging from the most energetic puppies, to senior pups with medical conditions. I worked as a Kennel Technician for a large Kennel Facility, back in my hometown for three years and that's where I discovered my passion for canines. A dog is (wo)man's best friend, so they deserve nothing short of love and affection. If you are looking for someone who can tend to all your dogs needs with copious amounts of love and attention, look no further! This experience caters to the preference and concerns of you, the owner and your furry best friend(s)...So if you have any special accommodations please do not hesitate to let me know! After joining the Navy, I spent two years certifying one of my pups as a service dog, and although we sadly had to retire her due to a medical condition she is still my best friend. For that reason, my specialty is with drop-in visits, I am very experienced with dog body language and non-verbal communication, ensuring even the most anxious dog is as comfortable as possible when I check on them. I would also love to add that we have recently adopted some chickens! 🥳 While this is a great way to introduce pups to livestock I know this can be overstimulating to some fur babies so we have made extra precautions in making a chicken coop/run separate from our clients pups. 🐓💖

Mariah was very friendly and the booking went well. She said Jasper was a very good guest and Jasper was taken care of. Jasper came home in a good mood and was playful and seemed to have had a good time. We will use Mariah again next time We travel. Thank you, Mariah.

Totally a lifesaver! I had an accident and needed emergency help with my pup and she was more than willing to oblige. I would definitely recommend her.

Mariah and her family were absolutely wonderful while taking care of our two pups, Riley and Macy, for a few days while we were out of town. She provided plenty of updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing they were happy and well cared for. Both dogs looked so comfortable and content the whole time! We truly appreciated the extra attention and love they received. Highly recommend Mariah for anyone looking for a responsible, caring sitter.

Mariah is an upbeat, energetic individual, and her household was a great fit for Ziggy, our Cavalier. They all loved on him and played with him as if he was their own. Mariah sent many updates with photos so we could see Ziggy and know that he was being well cared for. We will definitely use Mariah again, in the future, and I highly recommend her to sit for your pet as well.

Mariah was wonderful. Our samoyed didn’t want to leave at the end of the stay. Five stars.

We prefer dogs that are kid friendly, but that is not a requirement. My daughter sometimes likes to tag along (she is almost 10) to learn how to care for dogs. I will ask for your permission in advance if she asks to come and respect any concerns you may have. Boundaries are instilled in our kids at a young age to ensure your fur babies are feeling the most safe and at home when with us. ?
