Reliable, Loving Dog Care

Pet care experience

I have years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior pets requiring extra attention. I’m patient, attentive, and great at reading dogs’ needs, ensuring they feel safe and loved. My time as a responsible pet owner and sitter has taught me how to handle different temperaments and administer basic care like medication or special diets. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my ability to create a comforting environment tailored to your pet's unique personality. I’m also experienced with active dogs who need plenty of exercise and adventure!

She took great care of our babies! She gave our puppy who is pretty shy time to warm up to her. She was very responsive, gave monthly medication, and sent a ton of pictures.

Mariana was absolutely amazing with my pup, Sia! From our initial meet-and-greet, she was so kind, welcoming, and made me feel completely at ease. Despite my less-than-perfect time management for both drop-off and pick-up, as well as Sia’s extended stay, Mariana was incredibly flexible and accommodating. She truly went above and beyond, and I can’t thank her enough for her understanding. Throughout Sia’s stay, Mariana kept me updated with pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She even cleaned Sia up, put the cutest bandana on her, and gave her adorable little ponytails! It was obvious that Sia was cared for with so much love and attention. I could tell Mariana treated Sia like one of her own. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and communicative to watch their furry family member. Thank you, Mariana!
