Pet care experience

Only pawsitive reinforcement

I have over 25 years of experience loving and looking after cats, and 7 years with dogs. I've been around animals all my life. I trained my own dog using positive reinforcement and believe in treating all pets with kindness and respect. I used to help stray animals, back in my home country, Georgia. I regularly volunteered to walk dogs from dog shelters since I was 16. I spent my whole adult life bringing home mostly injured animals, take them to vets, nurse them back to health, and find them loving, forever homes (which is how I found and decided to keep my own doggo). It's incredibly rewarding to see a once homeless pet thrive in a new family. Considering my experience, I would gladly administer any medication your pet might need, except injections (I used to ask others for help because I'm scared of needles). I can take care of senior and special needs pets, if you give me instructions. I believe in positive reinforcement and am firmly against any form of punishment. Every pet deserves to be treated with love and care, and that's exactly what I offer. Your pets will be in safe, experienced, and loving hands with me! Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family members!

Doggy Day Care • Jun 24, 2026

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mariam was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Daisy. This was my first time using a dog sitter through Rover, and I was a little nervous, but she immediately put me at ease with her excellent communication and thoughtful updates throughout Daisy’s stay. She was incredibly conscientious and went above and beyond to make sure Daisy was comfortable, especially during the hot weather. She provided cooling mats, a cooling scarf, and took extra care to ensure Daisy stayed happy and safe in the heat. It was also so lovely to see Daisy spending time with Mariam’s dog, Sai. Mariam was attentive, kind, and perfectly communicative from start to finish. I felt completely comfortable leaving Daisy in her care and would absolutely book with her again in the future. Thank you so much, Mariam and Sai, for taking such great care of Daisy!

Drop-In Visits • Feb 26, 2026

Absolutely incredible cat sitter ⭐ Mariam looked after my cat for a week while I was on holiday. She looked after my little princess and sent me loads of photos and a detailed Rover Card each day which really put my mind at rest while I was away. I came back to a well respected home and a very happy kitty!

Mariam was amazing, great communication and looked after Tinto really well! He came back happy and tired after playing with her dog Sai (who is very sweet), and we would definitely book her again!

I would have no reservations about trusting Mariam with my pet. She's an animal lover and a kind person who, based on the excellent demeanour of her own dog, is well equipped for dog walking and other services.

"I enthusiastically recommend Mariam for the position of cat caregiver. She provided exceptional care for my two cats, Alice and Sally, during a challenging time when my mother's illness required her to temporarily move in with her own cat. Despite initial conflicts between the cats, Mariam handled the situation with grace and professionalism, managing their interactions and ensuring their well-being. Her dedication to understanding their needs, creating a peaceful environment, and maintaining cleanliness was truly impressive. Mariam's genuine love for animals was evident in every interaction, making her an invaluable support during a difficult period for my family and pets. She has my highest recommendation."

Safety, trust & environment

I have an extremely friendly, highly social medium-sized rescue dog, Sai at home. I can only board one dog at a time. They'll be in different rooms at night when I can't properly supervise them. If you're looking for a house sitter and your pet is friendly with other dogs, I can also bring my dog along for playtimes.

Pets

A typical day

I can teach your dog some tricks, go for runs with them, take long walks with them and my own doggo to see if they become friends. I can spend time and play with your cats during drop-in visits so they don't get lonely 🙌
