Hello, My name is Mariana and I am from Brazil. My husband and I relocated to Rhode Island not long ago. He is working on his PHD at Brown University. I however, hold a degree in Veterinary Medicine, from Brazil. We are both passionate about animals; specifically cats and dogs. I have a cat named Victoria, who lives with my mother back in Brazil. While my husband continues to work on his PHD I am studying to take my last exam; in order to validate my Veterinarian degree in the United States. In the meantime, I would like to take care of your furry friends while you are away! Boarding update: I stay at home most of the time studying and I can provide regular walks for your dog, I live in a very nice and quiet area near the Boulevard which is perfect to take your dog for daily exercise. On the weekends we enjoy going to some parks around, like Lincoln woods or Colt State Park, and your dog is more than welcome to come with us. Sometimes my husband will also stay at home and he will be happy to give your furry baby some attention. We let the dogs stay on the couch and to sleep on bed with us. Also be ready to receive a lot of pictures and updates about your pet! I have food and water bowls with 3 cups capacity and travel bowl that I bring on long walks to keep the dog hydrated. I kindly ask owners to bring their pet's food, favorite toys, treats and their bed to provide extra comfort for them, since the familiar smell of their things is very important for the dog's wellbeing. Please contact me to arrange necessary dates and times for a sitting service. It will be my pleasure to provide loving care and playful time for your little friends, until your return. Warm regards, Mariana
