Pet care experience

Your pet’s second best friend.

I’ve been around dogs my whole life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. For the past 17 years, I had the joy of raising and loving my two poodles, who were truly part of the family. They both sadly passed away earlier this year, just two months apart, and I’m now craving the love, energy, and joy that only dogs can bring. I’ve also cared for dogs of friends and family over the years, and I always treat every pet with the same love and attention as my own. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or peaceful walks, I’m here to offer a safe, loving, and reliable experience for your pet.

I cannot recommend Mariana enough! From the moment we met, it was clear how caring and professional she is. She watched are sweet Nina, and treated her like family. I had total peace of mind the entire time because she sent daily photos and updates. When we returned home, our sweet Nina was happy and relaxed. I will absolutely be booking with Mariana again!

Highly recommend! She took Milo in last minute while we were on vacation and took such great care of him. She is very sweet, caring, and kept us updated. We felt comfortable knowing Milo was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter!

Mariana was so kind and loving to my dog. She has knowledge about caring for senior dogs and it shows. She updated me everyday and I would love to have her take care of my dog anytime.

I had plenty of updates and can tell Daphne was loved and cared for during her short stay. She seemed a little sad she was leaving! I felt completely confident our girl was well cared for and treated like family.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large, open backyard with no fence. Although I don't currently have any pets of my own, I’ll devote all my attention, love, and time to yours.

A typical day

We’ll spend time playing in my backyard and going for walks to explore the scents around the neighborhood. I will feed the dog according to the owner's instructions and ensure fresh water is always available. We'll also relax on the couch together, and I’ll make sure the dog receives plenty of affection and attention throughout the day.
