Trusted & Loving Dog Care 🐾

Since I was a child, I’ve been fascinated by animals—especially dogs. In fact, I spent most of my childhood thinking I’d become a veterinarian (though I eventually chose engineering instead). Still, that never changed my love for pets. I’ve had both purebred and mixed-breed dogs. My first dog was a Basset Hound, who was my companion throughout my early years. A few years later, where my parents live, Momo came into our lives—a puppy I rescued after he had been abandoned on the street. (As you can probably tell from the photos, he grew quite a bit, but to me, he’s still my little guy!) Whenever I visit my parents, Momo and I spend the whole day together—we walk at least an hour daily. While I’m away from Momo, I’d love to share that same affection and care with other dogs, whether it's through playtime at home or long walks outside. I’ll make sure your dog is never lonely, always cared for, and that you receive regular updates about how your furry friend is doing. Ready to give your pup the love and care they need while you're away! 🐕

Mariano is great with dogs and May absolutly loved her time with him! ☺️ They went on many adventures together and I have received daily pictures about their day. Would leave my four legged family member anytime again with Mariano and can only strongly recommend him!

Mariano ist für uns der perfekte Hundesitter. Unser Dackel Nugget hat sich super wohl bei ihm gefühlt und Mariano hat alle unsere Wünsche super umgesetzt. Wir werden ihn auf jeden Fall immer und immer wieder buchen :)

This is my second time having Mariano as my dog sitter, and once again he did a great job. He took wonderful care of my dog, Cola, last weekend and made sure she was comfortable and well looked after. Mariano is attentive, responsible, and clearly enjoys spending time with dogs. It gave me peace of mind knowing Cola was in good hands. When I came back, she was happy and relaxed. I’m very grateful for his care and would happily recommend Mariano to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.

Mariano took wonderful care of my dog Cola over the past few days. He is very responsible, loving, and genuinely caring. Communication was great, and I felt completely at ease knowing Cola was in such good hands. Cola was happy and well cared for when I returned. I would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him!

Mariano is a wonderful, caring dog person! I booked him short-notice and he replied immediately. As soon as Selma saw him, she ran towards him, wiggeling with her tail.😊 He prepared a bed for her and her food bowls. During their time together, he sent many photos and updated me regularly. I will defintely book him again and can only recommend Mariano as a very responsible dog sitter.

Schedule

Since I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, I’m home throughout the day and able to give your dog lots of attention and care. I love having a furry companion around while I work, and thanks to my flexible hours, we can easily go out for walks during the day—whether it's a quick break or a longer stroll through the neighborhood. Your pup will never be left alone, and I’ll make sure their routine is followed closely, with plenty of play, rest, and affection.

Safety, trust & environment

I always supervise the dogs in my care and make sure they’re never left alone or exposed to unsafe situations. I follow each dog’s routine closely, including feeding times, rest, and play, so they feel as comfortable as possible. On walks, I use secure leashes and stay in quiet, dog-friendly areas, avoiding interactions with unknown dogs unless you’ve said it’s okay. I also adjust to weather conditions to make sure your pup is safe and comfortable at all times. Most importantly, I treat every dog with patience, love, and attention to detail—just like I do with my own—and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

A typical day

A typical day includes a morning walk, meals on schedule, play breaks throughout the day, and plenty of time to relax by my side while I work from home. We’ll go on another walk in the afternoon, and your pup will get lots of love, attention, and cuddles throughout the day, always based on their needs and routine :)

It’s important for me to know your dog’s routine, energy level, and any special needs they might have (medications, allergies, or behavioral quirks). I’d also love to know how they usually do on walks, how they get along with other dogs, and if there’s anything that makes them anxious or uncomfortable. The more I know, the better I can make them feel safe, happy, and at home.
