I work remotely from my home in Findlay Creek, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to care for your pup throughout the day. My home is dog-free, so your pet will have my full attention, and I have a grassy backyard that’s perfect for playtime and potty breaks. I’m organized, reliable, and genuinely love spending time with dogs—whether that means long walks, fun play sessions, or simply keeping them company while you’re away. I treat every pup like family and pride myself on creating a calm, loving environment. You can count on me to care for your dog as if they were my own. When you return, your furry friend will be happy, relaxed, and maybe even a little fitter from all the exercise and affection!

Loving, Reliable Pet Care

Pet care experience

I’m an experienced and dedicated dog sitter who genuinely loves caring for pets. Over the past few years, I’ve looked after many dogs and homes—always with great feedback and no issues. I treat every dog like they’re my own, offering plenty of affection, attention, and care. I’m also very respectful of the homes I stay in. Cleanliness, trust, and responsibility are top priorities for me—I make sure your space is just as you left it, if not better. As someone who’s very active, I love going on long walks, and so do the dogs I care for! I believe regular exercise and outdoor time are key to a happy and healthy pup. That’s why many of the dogs I look after end up healthier, more relaxed, and even better behaved by the time their owners return. If you're looking for someone reliable, loving, and attentive to care for your pup while you’re away, I’d be honored to help. You can leave home with total peace of mind—your dog will be in safe, loving hands.

Mariana was so wonderful with our three monsters! She was professional and sent lots of pictures. Dolly Parton, our border collie, was particularly enamored- which just shows how great she is with animals. Would absolutely rebook her!!

Mariana is A+ MAZING. I have too many good things to say about her but the short list includes: -animal lover, good communication with animals, good listening skills -very responsible, capable, independent, needs little instruction -problem solver, good sense & common sense, asks questions when needed -punctual -good communication with us -excellent work ethic Mariana went over and above for us in a few ways. One example of this was helping with our chickens even though she was here for our 2 dogs and 2 cats. She cleaned up after the dogs who shed quite a lot and was attentive to our animals' routines. I do not hesitate to recommend her even though I would like to keep her availability open for myself in future lol. It can feel risky to bring a stranger into your home to care for your animal babies but we really lucked out this time. Thank you Mariana!

Mariana was a great dog sitter. She stayed at our house and watched both of our dogs for a weekend. We would highly recommend her for future.

We recently had the pleasure of having Mariana house sit and dog sit for us over the weekend, and we couldn’t be happier with her services. Mariana went above and beyond our expectations and we highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter. She immediately bonded with our pup, Luna, ensuring Luna felt comfortable and loved in our absence. Mariana provided Luna with regular walks, playtime, and plenty of potty breaks. It’s clear that Luna formed a genuine bond with Mariana, which is a testament to her caring and attentive nature. Communication was also strong with Mariana. She provided frequent updates and check-ins and sent us many picture of Luna. We truly appreciated her effort in keeping us informed and updated while we were away. In summary, Mariana is an excellent choice for your pet sitting needs. We wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter. We will undoubtedly be reaching out to Mariana in the future when we are in need of a pet sitter again. Thank you, Mariana, for taking great care of Luna and our home.
