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!

Mariana & her family treated our two pups, Packer & Cheese like their own. We so appreciated them accommodating a late evening pick up straight from a flight and they had cute bandanas, bows, and treat goodie bag when we arrived for pick up. Thank you for taking great care of our pups!

Mariana took good care of our dogs and they seemed happy and contented in her care. They like to be with people, so it was really nice that she's at home with them for the majority of the time.

Mariana was fantastic! Honey came home from her stay happy and healthy. She even had a little bandana and a goodie bag for dogs! Mariana was a good communicator from the beginning and throughout the stay. We look forward to our next visit!
