Pet care experience

Empathic dog caretaker

I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs for friends, family, and neighbors. What sets me apart is the level of care, patience, and attention I give every dog as if they were my own. I understand that every dog has a different personality, comfort level, and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owners are away. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I adapt to their needs and make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m dependable, attentive, communicative, and genuinely enjoy being around dogs. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, walks, routines, administering basic medications if needed, and providing updates/photos so you feel at ease while away. My goal is to create a warm, low-stress environment where your dog feels comfortable, cared for, and happy — not just watched. It would truly be an honor to care for your dog and give them the same love and attention every pet deserves.

Mariana loves dogs more than anyone I know. She balances her demanding corporate job by caring for friends’ dogs, and I’m thrilled that she is now on Rover doing even more of what she loves. She has cared for my four dogs over the 11 years I’ve known her, and I’ve witnessed firsthand the care and devotion she gives to her own dogs as well. Big or small, Mariana will love your dogs like they’re her own.

I highly recommend Mariana as a pet caregiver. She is responsible, compassionate, and attentive with all animals. She has a natural ability to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable, while also being dependable with daily walks and playtime. Any family would be lucky to have her care for their furry loved ones.
