Pet care experience
Hello, my name is Mariana (Mari), and I’m studying to become an Veterinary Technician, or an animal nurse. I want to work with all kinds of pets so I can better understand and help them so that I may someday turn my love for animals into a career. When I was little I had a sweet Pit Bull Mix who I trained to sit, stay and lay down, and to this day I can achieve all the same for other pets in need. Currently I care for my cat and dog, one of which I have raised since birth. I am dedicated to caring for pets of all sizes, medical needs and personalities, so much so that just recently I had gone across the country to care for family pets for nearly 4 weeks. I am an easygoing person who can follow whatever rules are set and I am prompt at responding to messages. I always strive to arrive on time, and if I ever run late I’ll let you know ahead of time. I will never put your pet through unnecessary stress and care for them as if they were my own. I can train puppies and I’m not afraid of cleaning up any accidents or of getting scratched. Whether it be walking, house-sitting or simply offering my time, I’ll always put your pets first in my book.
Reviews
I've entrusted Mariana with my little darlings on several occasions. I have a big (100pounds!) loveable beast of a dog. She has been absolutely great with him. Now I also have a lovely kitty which I adopted. She is equally loving and attentive to both. She always takes very good care of them and I feel very comfortable leaving them with her. I will definitely use Mariana again!
Mariana cared for our St Bernard, German Shepherd and two cats for two weeks and did an amazing job! Our dogs are very large and she had no problem walking them and caring for them. We contacted her a couple of times while we were gone to make sure everything was going well and after we talked we always felt confident and relieved that she was caring for ALL of our animals as we would. When we returned home our pets were happy, healthy and well cared for. We would absolutely hire her again.
There’s no one I know that holds as pure of an affection toward pets than Mari. I’ve been witness to many occasions of animals just instantly feeling comfortable around her. Given how she considers her own pets her babies it comes to no surprise. If ever there was a problem with a pet, she scrambles to think of a way to help. She’s not intimidated by certain breeds and if ever there is a tough nut to crack, she only gets more motivated to make a connection.
Mari is one of my best friends and not just because her cats Philli and Pumpkin are adorable. Mari is fun and easy-going, responsible, and great with animals of all sorts. She will care for your furry friend like it was her own.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard with a vegetable garden and a friendly dog. My cat is indoors only, but loves to look out the screen door and windows. They both love to play.
Information Mariana B. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if they have any medical conditions, special foods or treats, their favorite games, and how long and how often you play with them.
A typical day
I love to engage with pets mentally and physically. Whether that’s playing with a laser pointer or talking a walk and investigating all the smells that are out there, everything is an adventure.

Availability
I currently work in a Banfield in LA, I’m trying to transfer to one closer to home and have found myself with a lot more free time. Unfortunately this means my schedule can be a bit up in the air, so same day appointments are best. But I am always willing to try and accommodate everyone.
