Highlights
Pet care experience
I love making friends with animals✨
Hi there! I'm Mariana, and I'm excited to offer my pet sitting services! With 15 years of experience in pet sitting and 5 years of volunteering at GBHS, I have a deep love for all animals. I have two cats, so I’m well-versed in feline routines, but I also adore dogs, those lovable, fluffy companions who are always ready for cuddles and attention. I’m more than happy to shower them with affection and care whenever you need me! Whether it’s a short vacation or an long trip, I’d love to take care of your furry friends so you can relax and enjoy yourself. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily accommodate your needs. A little about me: I am a music therapist in Birmingham and surrounding areas, so I'm nearby and can be there for your pet whenever you need me. Feel free to reach out with any questions! I look forward to meeting your pets and providing them with the love and care they deserve. Peace and love, Mariana ❤️

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to maintain their comfort and routine while providing lots of love and attention. I always take the time to learn your pet’s preferences and follow their daily schedule as closely as possible. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship, I make sure your pet feels relaxed and happy while you're away. I also take great care to respect your home. I’ll follow any guidelines you set and ensure that everything is kept clean and secure. From securing gates and doors to handling any special requests, I’m committed to providing a stress-free experience for both you and your pet. You can trust that I’ll be there for your pet, giving them the care and attention they need while you’re away, and keeping your home exactly as you left it.
Ratings and reviews
Honestly if I could give Mariana 10 ⭐️ I would. She is absolutely amazing!! She loves our girl Jo and spoils her with all the love and kindness she has. She keeps us updated on her day and sends pics. It’s also so wonderful that she stays at our home over night/days so our girl can stay in her own place. I highly recommend her to stay with your furbabies she’s the best!!
We are so happy to have Marianna as our Rover, We have used her once before and now again. She is very attentive and caring to our sweet girl Jo, I highly recommend her for your pup!
First of all Marinara is literally the sweetest person with a bubbly personality which made us immediately feel good about her watching our sweet Jo🐕 We’re thankful she came to stay at our home so our Jo wouldn’t have to leave the comfort of her home. She kept us updated on how the day was going along with pictures. I highly recommend Marinara to care for your fur baby♥️
Mariana is an absolutely amazing pet sitter! I have never felt more at ease leaving my furry friends in her care. She is incredibly reliable, and it’s clear that she genuinely loves animals. My cat, who is usually quite shy, warmed up to her instantly, and I could tell that she was well-cared for during my time away. Mariana followed all of my instructions to a T, kept me updated with sweet photos, and even went the extra mile by deep-cleaning the litter box every day. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing my pets were in great hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter!

Schedule
Pet care is an essential part of my daily and weekly routine. As an animal lover with years of experience, I make sure to set aside time each day to care for animals, whether that’s feeding, walking, or just spending quality time with them. For me, it’s not just about meeting the basic needs of pets; it’s about creating a routine that ensures they feel safe, loved, and engaged. On a daily basis, I prioritize checking in on pets, sticking to their feeding schedule, and providing companionship. If I’m watching a dog, for example, I’ll make sure to include playtime, walks, and any other activities that keep them active and happy. My schedule is flexible, so I can adjust to whatever works best for your pet’s needs.
