One more to our family ♥️

Hello!! I have always loved dogs!! We’ve always had dogs growing up and then when I moved to Spain I started volunteering at the weekends for a dog shelter...of course within a week I had rescued Oreo haha! He was about 18 months old and had never lived in a house before. Oreo came with many many challenges but with a lot of positive reinforcement and patience he learned what was okay to do and what wasn't! Dogs have always been a huge part of my family and life! People who don't have pets don't understand that dogs (and other animals) are just as important as humans (or even more so). Growing up we had German Shephards and Border Terriers. So I have always been around both big dogs and little dogs. My partner and I both absolutely adore animals. We both work from home so are always around to spend time with our furry friends and walk them three times a day: 1 hour in the morning, 1 hour / evening and a short walk in the afternoon. Oreo is always delighted to have the company of other dogs in the house as we also live with two cats and he says sometimes he just misses his own kind haha! I am a very active person and I love being outdoors, walking ... and exploring new parks and greens! :) I promise that if you let me take care of your pup, we will have a great time together. I can adapt the routine to whatever needs your dog has. I can also administer medication or special diet if that’s what your pup needs. I send loads of photos and videos because I know what it feels like to leave mine ...! I assure endless affection and care!! Lots of cuddles and love! Please don’t hesitate to message me with any questions or more information! We look forward to meeting you and your dog soon!! P.S My old reviews are in Spanish because I was living there for years, please translate them if you want some reassurance from previous owners! Thanks <3

Mariana is amazing! She looked after our little pup for a night at fairly short notice and was prompt and Woody loves her! Mariana also offered some great training tips and is clearly very experienced and great around dogs. We will definitely be asking for Mariana's help again :)

Mariana is a brilliant dog sitter. She adores all dogs (and animals, to be honest) and believes they deserve to be treated with kindness, respect and love. She is very diligent in her care for the dogs she looks after. From ensuring they are kept fed and watered to keeping them entertained and taking them out for plenty of lovely walkies. She also sends you photos/videos/text updates on how your doggy is doing. If you want only the best for your fur baby, Mariana is the best dog sitter around!

Mariana is the BEST dog walker/sitter I’ve ever found! My dog is pretty shy around new people and he was comfortable with Mariana day one and excited to see her from then on... She’s a true dog whisperer! You’ll get plenty of updates whenever your pup is in her care, as she’s a great communicator and a true animal lover. She knows different pups need different types of care and will make both you and your dog comfortable and happy right away. She’ll play, love and care for your dog as if it’s her own. I trust her over anyone else with my little guy and am sure you’ll agree!

Mariana is a responsible and loving dog caregiver. I have known her for over 20 years, and she has the kindest attitude to all animals, I trust her completely. Seeing Mariana with her own dogs, I know that she would look after your beloved pet with all the care in the world.

La estancia de Leone con Mariana fue genial! Ella es encantadora, nos ha enviado muchas fotos, vídeos, no hacía falta preguntárselo que nos tenía informados directamente ella! Leone es un cachorro que necesita mucha atención y ella supo darle exactamente lo que necesitaba. Volveré seguramente a confiar en ella, su pareja y su perrito Oreo, que es muy bueno!!

Creo que Pichi estuvo encantado con Mariana. Es muy cariñosa y responsable, de modo que no vacilaría en volver a dejarlo con ella.

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs physically and mentally. Making sure they never get bored but also have time to rest and sleep. A great balance! We’ll play lots of games, check out all the new smells in my neighbourhood, explore big parks near my house or the forest. Depending on the energy of your dog and if your dog is okay in cars we can go on nearby hikes too!
