Information Mariana M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pup is not potty train, or doesn’t get along with more dogs, I don’t accept aggressive dogs. I share tons of pictures during the day.

A typical day

During the morning I make sure all the dogs eat their breakfast (I feed them separately to avoid food fights or allergies) before I start working I take time with them to play around, during morning I offer multiple potty breaks. We like to play puzzles with them around noon, and sometimes if the weather is nice small walks around my neighborhood. Offer them dinner around 6-6:30 pm, and offer last potty around 9:30 - 10:00 pm before we sleep. They are all the time allowed on the couch, beds anywhere where me and my family are. We really make sure all the pups feels like they are at their home.

Another great stay with Mariana! My pup enjoyed all the attention and I loved getting the pictures of him through out his stay.

I couldn’t recommend Mariana more! I needed someone to watch my dog for a long weekend with only about a week’s notice, and she was amazing from start to finish. She offered to do a meet-and-greet beforehand since she has other animals, which I really appreciated. She took the time to learn my dog’s routine and made sure it was a good fit for everyone. Throughout the stay, she sent lots of pictures and updates, answered every question I had, and was an incredible communicator. It’s obvious she and her family genuinely love dogs. My pup came home happy and completely exhausted from all the playing. I’ll definitely be booking with Mariana again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family.

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.
