Former nanny and animal lover!
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Mariana, I really enjoy being around and taking care of animals. I have been like this for as long as I can remember. In fact, my nickname when I was really young was Elmyra (Duff), the cartoon character from the animated television series, Tiny Toon Adventures. People called me that because I was obsessed with animals, especially cute ones! I cannot count how many times I took homeless dogs and cats home with me in Brazil, begging my parents to keep them. I have a miniature pinscher back home in Brazil. I miss her very much and taking care of other dogs and animals make me feel closer to her. I have experience with a wide variety of pets and I currently live in a house that has 7 chickens, a leopard gecko, and a Portuguese water dog. I love to play with animals, pet them, throw balls for them to fetch, and take them on long walks or runs. I just really enjoy being around them!
Reviews
Mariana is very detail oriented, loves animals and extremely punctual!! She’s absolutely great and has such a big passion for animals! She’s very responsible, communicative and loving!!! I highly recommend Mariana without any reservation to her ability as a professional and competent house & pet sitter. Your dog will be in great hands!!!
Mariana has been a dog walker and overnight caretaker for Dexter our Portuguese Water Dog. Mariana is very enthusiastic Dexter gets very excited when he sees her and obviously enjoys the time he spends with Mariana. He comes back happy and tired after an outing with Mariana. She is completely trustworthy and sometimes takes and returns Dexter while we are out. 5 stars for Mariana as a dog walker!
Mariana has become a member of our household- watching my child, dog and cats during the day. I am not sure who is more happy to see her in the morning, our daughter or our dog Steve (Mini Dachshund). She snuggles with our four-legged family member all day and anticipates their needs and has gotten to know their personalities. We would trust Mariana with our family and never worry when she is here.

Availability
I have worked as a full-time nanny for the past eight years and I am currently looking to have a job with a more flexible schedule and to try new fields. Taking care of animals has always been a passion of mine, so I thought that it would be a nice transition.
