I have a pretty flexible schedule during the week. I work during the weekdays as a babysitter assisting with after school care, but get off at 6. Other than work or maybe an occasional doctors appointment, I’m free plenty throughout the day to watch your pup.

Safety, trust & environment

I really enjoy spending quality time with dogs and want to create a safe, comfortable, environment for them to be in. I love to be able to socialize your dog with others and take them to the dog park or on walks on nature trails. Depending on what your dog’s typical schedule is, I can always accommodate it.

Information Mariana B. would like to know about your pet

I am able to accommodate to any special needs or requests that you may have. I am able to tend to any type of breed, size, and age.

A typical day

I typically like to start with lots of cuddles and pets to establish trust and let them get used to being around me. I love to go on adventures and nature walks with your furry friends. I also usually like to take them to the dog park, all depending to what everyone is comfortable with.

Pets

I will love your fur babies

Pet care experience

I treat every dog or cat as if it’s my own. I will love on them all day long. I have a mini aussie so I’m very used to high energy dogs and keeping them entertained. I’ve taken care of all different types of breeds from small pups to large pups and I love them all. I’m very comfortable with all dogs whether they’re playful or shy.

Marianna was excellent from the very first meeting. She was timely, communicative and was good about sending us daily updates with photos of our furballs. I would highly recommend Mariana for dog walks or overnights.

Mariana did a wonderful job caring for our dog Scout. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing Scout was in such caring hands. Mariana was very prompt with our meetings and message response. It was so nice coming home to a very clean house and very happy dog.❤️🐶

Mariana did a fantastic job caring for our two pups, who require daily supplements and have a few special restrictions due to an injury. Marian was attentive to their needs and clearly took great care to follow our instructions. When we returned, the dogs were happy and excited to see us, but clearly comfortable and well cared for in our absence. She also kept the house tidy and even brought in the mail, which was much appreciated. Knowing everything at home was in great hands allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mariana, and we’d love to have her sit for us again!!
