Your Dog’s New Best Friend — Ready to Care Anytime

I have been caring for dogs since I was a child and have experience with many breeds and ages. For almost 16 years, I had a beloved Yorkshire Terrier named Terry who was like my son — he taught me about patience, love, and responsibility. Although Terry passed away last year, I have so much love in my heart ready to give to your furry friend. I have worked with dogs of many different breeds, helping neighbors, friends, and family by walking, feeding, and caring for their pets — from playful puppies to gentle seniors. If you choose me, I promise to provide compassionate, attentive, and personalized care, making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Please feel free to reach out with any questions — I’d love to meet you and your furry family!

Safety, trust & environment

I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for your pets, whether they stay at my home or in theirs. In my home, I ensure a calm space where your pet will receive lots of love and attention. When caring for pets at your home, I follow your routines closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I can crate your dog if needed to ensure their safety, and I always supervise them carefully. Trust, patience, and care are my top priorities to make sure your furry friend feels happy and secure.

Drop-In Visits • Jul 17, 2026

Mariana was so wonderful in looking after our cats! She was so attentive towards our cats needs and gave us updates/photos and videos on every visit. She really put our minds at rest, as it was the first time leaving the cats and I nervous if they would be receptive to Mariana and they certainly were receptive. I will definitely be using Mariana again! :)

Mariana took excellent care of our kitten, Walter, over the bank holiday weekend. She sent several photos at each visit, was very communicative and gave Walter lots of love and attention. It was our first time using Rover, but Mariana put us at ease!

Mariana was great with our border collie, Luna. She was on time, enthusiastic and made a great bond very quickly. She spent lots of time throwing the ball to wear out our very energetic dog. Great communication with lots of photos and videos. We would recommend :-)

Mariana was available last minute and took good care of Maple. She made sure she understood all of Maple’s needs and asked questions that I thought were sensible and showed she cared. Will have her over again for sure!

This was our first time using rover and we are so glad we did. Mariana was fabulous. She took great care of our little doggy and sent lots of pictures for our kiddos while we were away. I would highly recommend her!

I’d like to know if the dog is okay with other pets or people, if they pull on the lead, or have any habits I should be aware of — like chewing things or getting anxious when left alone. Also if they have any health issues, allergies, or need special care. Knowing their routine and what they like or don’t like helps me take better care of them and make them feel safe and happy 🥰
