Safety, trust & environment

Dog Walking: During walks, your dogs safety, and joy is priority, and if it means having a bottle of water to keep them hydrated, consider it done! Drop Ins: Ensures the pet has all the necessities and is spoiled with care and affection. Whether it's a quick play session, feeding time, or just some cuddles, they'll feel loved and attended to. House Sitting: Caring for both your dog and home ensures everything runs smoothly in your absence. Maintaining a routine and ensuring they are well cared for is important for keeping them happy until the owner is back.

Information Mariana O. would like to know about your pet

Medical Conditions: Such as allergies, special needs or dietary restrictions. Behavioral Traits: Let me know if there are any behavioral traits, such as anxiety triggers or aggression toward other animals. Exercise Routine: What is your pet's usual exercise routine? Do they have a favorite game or activity? Social Preferences: How does your pet interact with other animals and people? Emergency Contact Information: Please provide contact information for your veterinarian and an emergency contact. (Feel free to provide what you deem necessary; not all is required).

A typical day

Prioritizing their favorite games and activities is important. One of my favorite games to play with pets is fetch. I believe physical exercise is important to your pet's health and quality of rest. However, I will adapt to each dog's unique needs.

Pet care experience

Pets are family! Therefore, I strive to treat them with the love and care they deserve. I describe myself as an attentive dog sitter, and I think it is one of the qualities that sets me apart from other sitters. Your pets will be treated as my own, ensuring they receive the best care possible!

Mariana was wonderful. She provided updates regularly and I knew Trixie was in great hands. Would definitely rebook with her again!

Mariana was an absolute gem! She cared for our two dogs in-home and immediately made them feel comfortable with her warm, friendly, and loving energy. She kept us updated with adorable photo check-ins and her communication was always clear and prompt. Our pups were happy and relaxed when we returned—it’s clear she treated them like her own. I’ll definitely be booking her again!!

This was our first time using the Rover service for sitting our cats, so we were naturally cautious. Based on their prior reviews, we reached out to Mariana and Daniela. Our meet and greet was pleasant and we felt at ease that they would be reliable and caring for our boys while we were away. We were not wrong. They looked after our boys every day while we were out of the country for 2 weeks, making sure their food, water and litter were taken care of. They sent us daily updates so we were kept updated which put our minds at ease. I had forgotten to tell them that one of our cats has an eye issue. As soon as they saw the issue they reached out to make us aware and if there is anything they need to do. We appreciated that. Now we have used Rover, we will use the service again and would not hesitate on recommending Mariana and Daniela.

Mariana & Daniela did a wonderful job checking in our cat while we were out of town. They were very accomodating, especially during a holiday week, and were very prompt with messaging. We appreciated and enjoyed the daily reports and pictures of her visits. Hope to use them again for future visits.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
