Pet care experience

Pawsitive and fur-ever reliable!

I'm an animal lover who's been passionate about dogs my whole life. I grew up with a feisty little Yorkie who taught me that big personality comes in small packages! While I'm just starting out as a sitter, I have minded my flatmate's adorable mini dachshund several times (as per photo, she approves of the cuddles!). I'll treat your dog like my own, giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. I'm reliable, communicative, and committed to making sure both you and your pup feel completely at ease.

Mariana looked after my dog Rua at the last minute over the weekend. From the moment I booked she was so helpful. When I met her I knew Rua would be in safe hands. During his stay she exercised him and gave him so much attention, she also kept me updated regularly. Thank you so much Mariana for all your help. I would definitely recommend her to anyone else xxx 🐾

Thanks so much Mariana and family for taking care of Luna and for the lovely pics you shared with us during her stay with you. We love our Luna and can tell that during her stay with you you all grew to love her too. Thanks again. From Michelle.

Couldn’t recommend them enough. They were an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish and made us feel completely at ease leaving Blu with them. They kept us updated the whole time with messages and photos, which really put our minds at rest. Blu was so well looked after. She came home after being groomed looking brilliant, happy, healthy and clearly had been treated like one of their own. You could tell she was getting plenty of walks, was fed properly, and got loads of love and attention while she was there. It’s not easy leaving your dog with someone else, but we’d have absolutely no hesitation doing it again. They’re a genuinely lovely family who clearly love dogs, and it shows in the care they give them. If you’re thinking of booking with them, don’t think twice. Your dog will be in great hands.

Really kind caring dog minder. My 12 week old puppy absolutely loves Mariana. We will be back soon. Highly recommended dog minder. Lovely photos of our puppy sent to us while she was looked after. Great communication. Puts you at ease.

Mariana took excellent care of Milly and kept us updated with lots of photos and videos. It was reassuring to see how well Milly was doing. We'd definitely recommend her and would happily use her services again.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced small backyard area where your pup can roam safely. I'm also just a 5-min walk from St Anne's Park, perfect for fresh air and nice strolls! I don't have any other pets at home, so your dog will have my undivided attention.

A typical day

We'll play, go for walks and your pup will get lots of belly scratches and cuddles (I can't help it). If there's anything specific your dog likes to do or play with, let me know in advance and I'll try to apply it during their stay :)

Please let me know their food schedule, how often they go toilet and where (puppy pads, outside, etc). It's also great to know if they have any particular fears, how they behave around other dogs and anything else worth knowing so they have the best experience possible!
