Pet care experience

Your Pet’s Next Best Friend 🐶🥰

I’ve had dogs my entire life, from small breeds like poodles to large dogs like golden retrievers, so I’m very comfortable with different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I’m especially attentive to each dog’s personality, whether they need extra patience, structured walks, or just lots of affection. I’m reliable, communicative, and truly treat every pet as if they were my own. You’ll always receive updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your pet is with someone experienced, calm, and genuinely caring. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, understood, and happy while you’re away.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I take safety very seriously and always adapt to each pet’s specific needs and comfort level. I have a friendly golden retriever of my own, but I never walk dogs together. Each pet receives 1:1 attention during walks and visits to ensure full focus, safety, and a calm experience. In your home, I follow all instructions carefully, respect your space, and maintain consistent routines to reduce stress for your pet. I pay close attention to behavior, surroundings, and any changes in mood or energy - small details matter.

Mariana was fantastic and very helpful for my urgent trip when I needed someone to take care of my 2 cats, I booked on a bit short notice but she was flexible and able to assist. I would recommend her to anyone and book her again!

Mariana was so wonderful! We had a last minute notice on a trip, and she was available and responded within minutes. Very communicative, lots of pictures and check ins sent. Our dog Rusty loved her! She made sure to ask any questions on any information that was left out as well. We definitely will be rebooking in the future!!

I had a great experience with Mariana! She is very attentive to the dog and their needs and great with communication! I have a puppy that needs a little extra attention and feel very comfortable with her help! I will definitely be using her on a regular cadence!

Mariana was incredibly flexible and able to accommodate a last-minute request, which I really appreciated. She’s very attentive and clearly cares so much about the dogs she works with. Marley absolutely loved his time with her. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring!

Schedule

I work from home, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule and give pets the time and attention they deserve. I’m able to plan my day around walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and check-ins without rushing. I am consistent, responsive, and available for pets that need extra care, routine, or last-minute support.

I would like to understand your pet's routine, personality, and any special needs. Please let me know if your pet requires medication, has health considerations, specific feeding instructions, or any behavioral sensitivities such as leash reactivity, anxiety, or triggers around other dogs or environments. I also like to know their preferences, whether they enjoy active play or prefer calm walks, if they’re comfortable visiting the dog park, and what makes them feel most at ease. The more details you share, the better I can keep their routine consistent and make sure they feel safe, understood, and comfortable while in my care. :)
