Looking for a walking pal!

Pet care experience

I can’t wait to meet your pet! I am a public health professional working in the city. While I don’t have any pets of my own, I have had cats and dogs my whole life and grew up cleaning cages at the vet hospital. I am very comfortable with cats and dogs of all sizes. As my mom is a veterinarian, I always a vet on speed dial (we call it “text a vet”) should your pet and I need anything! Let your dog accompany me on one of my many walks around Lakeshore East area. I am happy to give your furry friend some love when you can’t be around. I understand how important your pet is to you!!

Mariel is the best pet parent I’ve seen. She may not have her own pup, but she treats every one with love and kindness. She is good with any animal she encounters! She is responsible, smart, and you won’t regret choosing her as your pet sitter.

Throughout the last three years of knowing Mariel, I have learned and been witness to, the amount of love she has for all living things, especially dogs. Growing up with a dog of her own and with a mother as a veterinarian, she has always been an animal lover with a strong understanding on how to properly care for them. She is a kind, trustworthy, and respectful friend and I know she would treat you and your dog the exact same way. I have no doubt that she would give he/she/them the most love and treat them like they were her own. Therefore, I would highly recommend Mariel for Rover and to be your next dog caregiver!!
