Information Mariah S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs I need to account for. I usually ask that you bring the puppy’s leash, toys and proffered food you would like the puppy to eat. I would also like to know the puppy’s behaviors around other animals <3

A typical day

I always start off with a bunch of love and petting of course, it’s pretty irresistible. Then go for a walk in case they need a bathroom break and additional exercise. The owner will usually tell me when it’s time to feed them so I follow those directions accordingly. After a few more hours we go for another walk and bathroom break, then maybe some treats if the owner allows it. :)

I live in dog walking central!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Mariah Faith and I currently reside in Regent square The roads are long and flat which makes it great area and scenery for your puppy and I to walk. I have had two dogs and a bunny rabbit that I’ve loved and cared for over the years. Also, fun fact my grandfather was an officer for the humane society for over 40 years and they gave him his own day in the city of Pittsburgh. :) As of now I’m currently taking a break from school. Spring and summer is approaching us yay! So I can work around some quality time with your pups! I have a one bedroom in Regent Square. It is pretty spacious and there is no smoking or chemicals around my apartment that the doggy would get into. I always do a consultation with you to learn more about your puppy’s needs and if I am caring for your home as well <3

Mariah kept jazzy for over two weeks and was super sweet with our pup. She sent pictures and regular updates and cared well for our dog. She communicated with us promptly when she had a concern about jazz and was quick respond to my questions.

Horrible service, she stressed me out. Why? 1 her house is to small for anyone to like there let alone having pets. 2. She did listen nor follow of my instructions for my dog.3. She let him chew things then blamed me as if I didn’t buy him a cage . 4. She kept begging for more and more money off the app threw out the week. Not understanding why she made this her job, clearly she not cut out for this. I had to report her multiple times and also threatening me while still have possession of my pet. I strongly do Not Recommend Her For Anyone.

Mariah is an incredibly sweet person who obviously has a genuine love for dogs. I believe she loved and exercised my pet well, however we ran into some issues during a weekend stay at my home which caused me to cancel another upcoming booking. The most significant being that when I got home, I discovered that my dog had gotten into some garbage which I hadn’t heard about. He ended up vomiting quite a lot (safety issue). I also noticed numerous food items and certain beverages were gone from my fridge, which was not discussed or agreed upon. There were a few other things that happened without my permission, but I’m not sure I need to elaborate. I sent her a message about everything and hope that this will allow her to be a more trustworthy sitter for someone else, as I believe she has the potential to be. I think explicit boundary discussions would be quite beneficial.

Mariah watched my dog Pepper for 7 days over spring break. Booking was simple. Mariah responded quickly and we were able to go over all of Pepper's needs and concerns over chat. Pepper warmed up to Mariah immediately upon meeting her, and she did an amazing job keeping Pepper calm when I left (Pepper often has anxiety issues). Mariah was very friendly and professional, sending many updates through the day. I will definitely book with her again.
