Pet care experience

Your buddy’s best friend!

I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, growing up surrounded by pets and caring for them every day. They’ve always been a big part of my life, and my passion for animals has only grown over the years. Taking care of pets comes naturally to me, and it’s something I truly enjoy. Being a dog sitter would be the perfect job because it allows me to do what I love most — caring for and connecting with animals.

I highly recommend Mariana! From the very beginning, she was flexible, thoughtful, and genuinely caring with my dog. Her communication was excellent, and she kept me informed, which gave me great peace of mind. I’ll admit, I was initially a little uneasy about using a dog walker I hadn’t met in person yet. However, something in my spirit told me my dog was in good hands, and I’m so glad I trusted that feeling. Mariana exceeded my expectations and treated my dog with kindness and care. Thank you so much, Mariana, for your professionalism, compassion, and dedication. I truly appreciate everything you did and would not hesitate to recommend you to others! 🐾💕

Schedule

Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I make sure to schedule regular feeding times, walks, and play sessions to keep the dogs happy and healthy. I also set aside time for grooming and any special care instructions provided by the owner. Staying consistent with their routine helps the dogs feel comfortable and secure, and I always make time for extra cuddles and attention to build trust and keep them relaxed.

Safety, trust & environment

I follow the pet’s routine closely, whether in my home or the client’s. I provide regular feeding, walks, and playtime to keep them comfortable and happy. I ensure they have a clean, safe space and give plenty of attention and care. I also keep owners updated to give them peace of mind.

A typical day

I’ll take the pets on walks, play fetch, and engage them with their favorite toys. If they enjoy socializing, I’ll visit a dog park or set up interactive games to keep them active and happy. I also make time for cuddles and relaxation to keep them comfortable and calm.

Before I start a shift with a dog, I like to know as much as possible about their condition and needs to give them the best care. I’ll ask about their health—any allergies, medications, or specific conditions I should be aware of. It’s important for me to understand their behavior, too. Are they shy or nervous around strangers? Do they get along with other dogs? I’ll also ask about their daily routine, like feeding times, exercise preferences, and any training or commands they’re used to. If there’s anything that comforts them, like a favorite toy or blanket, I’d love to know. The more I understand about their needs and personality, the better I can ensure they’re safe, happy, and comfortable while I’m with them.
