May the paws be proper and loved.

Pet care experience

I’ve been a nanny and pet owner for over 15 years. Animals are a central part of my life and I’m constantly seeking ways to support the greater community. I raised a pure bread Doberman that was ACG certified. We went to the best trainers in California for 7 years. I’m a nurturer by nature and am eager to shift the perspective and community of bullied breeds.

This was the first time that I used Rover and i was anxious about leaving my 3 year old German shepherd while we went on a 4 day trip. This is also the first time that my dog stayed with strangers. Mariam was so reassuring with pictures and updates. She took our dog out for walks and to the Farmer's Market. Mariam also has a great space inside and outside for dogs. My dog looked happy and comfortable. I will definitely ask Mariam to care for our dog again on our next trip.

Mariam is amazing! She made us feel so comfortable on our 3 week vacation. Communication was amazing. Our boarder collie needs a lot of attention and she went above and beyond to meet his needs. We couldn’t be happier and look forward to seeing her again. Thanks you!!!

There is no one who loves and cares for dogs more than Mariam. In the many years I’ve known her, she has made sure her dogs and the dogs she has dogsat have been spoiled and cared for in every way possible. She is dedicated and hard working and dependable. She’s incredibly knowledgeable about dogs, their behaviors, and training. After she watched my German Shepherd, I’ve never wanted anyone else to care for my dog!

Mariam is WONDERFUL with pets! For a period of two years (sometimes housesitting when my husband and I were out of town, and sometimes helping with everyday dog responsibilities when our schedules got crazy), she regularly took care of my very sweet but strong-willed and strong-muscled boxer, who could be a bit cranky with other dogs. Like a canine Mary Poppins, Mariam was firm but kind -- she was loving but very much in control, and I trusted her to know how to handle my boxer on walks when he occasionally got growly with a couple neighborhood dogs. I knew that with Mariam in charge, my boxer would get all the exercise he needed, and twice the snuggles. And Mariam also supervised special meals for him, too -- an all raw diet that consisted of raw chicken wings for breakfast, on a special mat that had to be cleaned with care, because of poultry bacteria, and a mixture of ground chicken parts, quinoa, cottage cheese, and vegetables for dinners. It was a pain to mix up all that food, but Mariam did it all. She stayed on top of my dog's medications, too. Mariam is your dog's new best friend. FIVE STARS!!!

We live in the country in Modesto with plenty of indoor and outdoor space. We’ve always had well trained animals in the house, but also love for them to feel a part of the family. We give them the best food, best care and of course the best cuddles. We’ve worked with rescues, less able animals and strict disciplined ones. We cater to whatever the animal needs most.

A typical day

I love walking and finding outdoor activities - whether that be going to a nice park or trail, or playing fetch on the lawn for a few hours. If we’re forced to be in doors because of weather, I have a few activities like hide and seek we can work on.
