Hey there! My name is Mariah. I’m currently a junior at California State University, San Bernardino (CSUSB), studying Cybersecurity. My schedule is generally open unless I have a booked sitting or walking, or my calendar shows that I’m unavailable. Please be sure to send me a message or request a couple of weeks in advance for bookings or meet-and-greets, as some months can get quite busy. Make sure to get your request in early! Thank you so much for your interest in me—I truly appreciate it!

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always focus on providing a safe, loving, and stress-free environment. I follow all instructions given by the owner closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise needs, medications, and any special routines. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, while also respecting their comfort levels and personalities. During drop-in visits and house sitting, I ensure pets are fed on time, walked or let out for bathroom breaks, and given enrichment through play, mental stimulation, and companionship. I keep their living area clean by refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes or picking up waste, and maintaining a tidy space. I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away. For walks, I prioritize safety by using secure leashes and harnesses, paying close attention to the environment, and adjusting the walk based on the pet’s energy level, age, and weather conditions. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own and aim to make their time with me feel fun, comfortable, and full of care.

Information Mariah W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behavioral issues that I need to look out for, I do not mind them.

A typical day

I love walking dogs in the morning and evening. It offers them the perfect balance of physical exercise and mental stimulation. Our morning walks are a great way to start the day, allowing the dogs to stretch their legs, explore new scents, and enjoy the fresh air. In the evenings, another walk helps to burn off any remaining energy and provides a calm end to the day. Playing fetch is a favorite activity that combines physical exertion with fun; the joy of chasing a ball or toy not only keeps dogs fit but also strengthens our bond. (This also depends on the dog and its needs)

Mariah took wonderful care of my dog. She sent me updates on how everything was going. When I got home I could immediately tell my dog was relaxed and happy. Highly recommend. Thank you Mariah!

Mariah was awesome . She checked in on my kitties 2x daily on time and sent pictures of them as well. Communicating with Mariah was quick and easy. I would recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter and I will definitely book her in the future!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
