Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my priority is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In a client’s home, I carefully follow instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, litter box cleaning, and any special needs like medications. I also provide extra care for senior pets who need a gentle and patient routine. I make sure to spend quality time with each pet—playing, cuddling, or simply keeping them company depending on their personality. Owners can always count on daily photo and video updates for peace of mind. When pets are with me in my own home, I create a cozy, pet-friendly environment with fresh water, attention, and a safe space. I keep their routines as close as possible to what they’re used to, so they remain secure and relaxed while their family is away.

Information Mariana B. would like to know about your pet

Please if possible let me know these things about your four-legged baby: - Personality (shy, social, anxious, playful, aggressive with other animals). - Daily routine: feeding times, walks, playtime, naps. - Type of food (brand, amount, frequency). - Treats allowed or not allowed. - Dietary restrictions or allergies. - Any medical conditions (diabetes, epilepsy, heart issues, arthritis, etc.) and if they take medications: name, dosage, schedule, and how to administer. - Vaccinations and flea/tick prevention up to date. - How many walks per day and for how long. - Gets along with other dogs/cats? - Any tendencies (pulling on leash, escaping easily). - Fears or triggers (storms, fireworks, bicycles). - Allowed and restricted areas (sofa, bed, rooms). - If there are other pets at home and how they interact. - Sleeping preferences (bed, crate, free in the house). - Reaction to visitors or doorbell. - Permission to make quick decisions if owner is unreachable.

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy, engaged, and relaxed while their owners are away. For dogs, I include walks, playtime with toys, fetch, and plenty of outdoor exercise. For cats, I enjoy interactive play with feather wands, laser pointers, or quiet cuddle sessions depending on their mood. For senior pets, I keep activities gentle, like slow walks or calm brushing sessions. And of course, there’s always time for cuddles, belly rubs, and gentle companionship. I send photo and video updates of our fun moments so owners can feel connected.

Your fur baby’s new bestie!

Pet care experience

I naturally treat every pet like my own family, and that’s exactly how I’ll care for your pet when you’re away. I’m the person who stops to say hi to every dog and cat on the street, and for as long as I can remember, animals have been my happiest place. I’ve always felt a special connection with all kinds of animals, and being around them isn’t just one of my favorite things in the world—it’s a big part of who I am. When I’m with your fur baby, they get all my love and attention. I have years of experience with puppies, adult dogs, seniors, and cats, and I tailor care to their energy level and routine. I’m basically the fun aunt who spoils them (within your rules!) with cuddles, playtime, and lots of reassurance. You’ll get regular updates and photos, and your pet will get the safe, happy, and affectionate care they deserve.

Mariana was great! I was very worried about leaving my cat for the first time. She knew how to make him comfortable and they became good friends. He was safe and happy and she took care of everything, sending me lots of pics every day. Will hire again!
