Pet care experience

Sitter with medication experience

I've been around dogs and cats for most of my life. Over the years, I've had a Siberian husky and two rescued mixed-breed dogs, each with their own personality and quirks. I currently have a young sprocker spaniel, full of energy and always up for a walk or a ball game, and an 8-year-old ginger cat who's calmer and loves sofa cuddles. I've also looked after friends' and family's pets over the years, which has given me a good sense of how different animals settle, what makes them anxious or relaxed, and how to adjust my approach depending on the pet in front of me rather than treating every visit the same way. My cat came to me as a rescue with a difficult history, and caring for him has been hard at times but has taught me a lot about patience, reading subtle signs of stress, and building trust slowly rather than rushing it. That experience carries over into medication care too. My cat has been medicated for anxiety for over two years now, and it initially took a trial of several medications to find what worked for him. I'm comfortable dispensing medication in the mouth by syringe or pill dispenser, or mixing medicine into food. So whether your pet just needs a walk and some company, or something more hands-on like a medication routine, I bring the same level of attention and care I give my own pets. Because I'm self-employed and work from home, I have a flexible daily schedule that allows me to accommodate a wide range of visit times. This means I can arrange walks, drop-ins, or check-ins around your working hours or specific daily routine, so your pet receives consistent care exactly when it's needed.

Safety, trust & environment

During drop-ins and walks, I follow your instructions closely re: feeding times, walk length, routines, and any house rules we've discussed beforehand. Your preferences always come first, and I won't deviate from what you've asked for. I'm experienced with administering medication by syringe, pill, or mixed into food, so pets on a schedule are cared for exactly as you specify. I hold a high standard of cleaning, including tidying up any accidents or mess I find, and I always send photo updates throughout so you're kept informed.

Mariana has been absolutely amazing with our two cats! She is incredibly caring, attentive, and trustworthy, and we feel completely at ease knowing they are in her hands. We are extremely happy with her care and truly appreciate how loving and dedicated she is. We would happily recommend Mariana to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pets.

I highly recommend Mariana’s services. She is an exceptional, responsible and highly committed person who genuinely cares about the well-being and happiness of animals. What stands out most is her excellent way of treating animals, showing great affection, patience, and care at all times. She clearly has a natural ability to connect with animals and a genuine passion and respect for them, always making sure they feel comfortable, calm, safe, and well cared for. In addition to being kind and attentive, Mariana inspires a great deal of trust and peace of mind, which is especially important when entrusting someone with the care of our pets. She is reliable, conscientious, and takes her responsibilities seriously, always fulfilling her commitments with professionalism and dedication. Without a doubt, Mariana is someone you can trust completely and I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a person who will care for their animals with responsibility, dedication, affection, and genuine concern for their well-being.
