Pet care experience

Dogs are angels on earth 🐶 🪽

I have always loved every dog since I can remember. My friends trust me to watch and care for their fur babies when they won’t be home for a long time, or when they have to go out of town. I really enjoy taking care and getting to know every doggos personality. My 2 year old schnauzer, Simona is the most loving, crazy, and playful baby whom I have personally trained. I also usually watch my dad’s pup Cacho who is our family dog and is also a white Schanuzer who is 5 years old and an old soul. Lastly, I have experience taking care of older pups as I was lucky to have Blacky my first Schnauzer for 16 years. I have watched small dogs from poms to big babies such as our loving friend’s boxer Tupac. I can assure you that I will treat your dog as if it was my own, and will love for you to have peace of mind when you are at work.

Safety, trust & environment

If you are ok with, my 15 pound schnauzer who is trained and very social and playful can hang out with your baby while I care for them. She is an inside dog who is house broken. Otherwise I am happy to keep visits catered to your fur baby. I also love bringing my dog to as much as I can with me as I believe they are a big part of my life. Please let me know if your pup requires special attention that I can focus on when I care for them.

During the visit my dogs were more nervous than usual and needed a little extra time to warm up. What stood out was that she went above and beyond. She picked up food and water from Target curbside due to our unforeseen situation. That level of effort and follow through meant a lot. Due to my dogs being a bit anxious, I truly appreciate her communication, professionalism, and the extra care she showed.

Mariana has watched my weenie dog Snoopy since he was a puppy. She has even helped practice the tricks I told her I was teaching Snoopy. She is so great! My dog is always very happy to see her when she gets to my house to take him for walks. I really recommend her.

Mariana watched my puppy over the weekend on a last minute trip and she was great! She sent me pictures from all the activities they did and was very patient when she had to take him to potty. I was so happy to see that my puppy was relaxed and care for. I would totally recommend.

Mariana sometimes watches my dog in between the day when I won’t be able to come home until late. My dog is so excited when she sees her coming, and I know that she will be well exercised as she has taken her on walks and plays games with her.
