I absolutely LOVE caring for Cats

Cat care experience

Taking care of cats has been an incredibly heartwarming journey for me. From the first timid steps of a rescued cat to the playful purrs of a happy companion, each feline friend has left an everlasting paw print on my heart. In the summer of 2023, I traveled to Ukraine during the war to help the people and animals effected by the war. In a small village where my 98 year old grandmother lives, a little stray baby kitten followed me for to her house for a mile. She followed me all the way home to my grandmothers house because she knew in her litty cat heart that I wanted to save her and give her a home. A kindhearted Ukrainian soldier adopted her and named her little Mina. Today Mina lives with his mother in an her new loving home while he is away at war defending his people and his land. I have photos of her on my profile with the name Mina on each photo. A cats unwavering companionship fills my days with warmth and affection. I have saved many lives of cats and gave them a second chance. God bless ? all the loving animals ? and give them a safe and happy home. My experience with cats includes: - Love and care - Experience rescuing stray cats - Special needs cat experience - Senior cat experience - Experience giving cats subcutaneous injections - Oral medication administration experience - Injected medication administration experience - Experience working with disabled cats - Eperience working with diabetic cats that require insulin I also have a YouTube Channel titled; Mariana the Dog Whisperer. On my YouTube channel I feature fun videos of your pets and h3lp them become them famous movie ? stars! ???

I was nervous and not sure what to expect from Rover. My pets have never stayed with anyone outside my family. I was quickly assured that my pets would be safe and loved with Mariana. She listened carefully to my many instructions and gave each of my three pets individual attention. She is very knowledgeable and extremely kind. I feel my pets will not only be safe in her hands but have fun as well!!!

Mariana always does a stellar job with our dogs. Both require extra care and medications, and she always makes sure they are well taken care of. She is on constant communication with regular updates including pictures and videos. She has made our travels stress free!
