Availability

’m a college student home for the summer, and I have a pretty flexible schedule. I also work a part-time retail job, but my shifts are only about 4 hours at a time, so it’s really easy for me to fit pet care around that. Outside of work, I have a lot of availability during mornings, evenings, and most weekends.

Safety, trust & environment

I always just try to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while their owners are away. I stick to their normal routine as much as possible so things feel familiar for them, and I follow any instructions closely when it comes to feeding, walks, meds, or anything else they need. I also take my time getting to know each pet and letting them warm up to me at their own pace. Some are immediately friendly and some need a little time, and I’m totally okay with both!

Trusted Dog Sitter with experience

Pet care experience

I’ve always been a huge dog person and honestly just love being around them. I worked at a dog daycare/boarding facility, so I’ve had experience caring for all kinds of dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I’ve also been dog sitting for families in my neighborhood since I was around 14, so I’m very comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and happy while their owners are away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own :)

Mariana was a great sitter for my dog. We used her twice recently for trips. Would absolutely book again!
