Reviews
Mariel was an absolute dear and someone I sincerely trust with my furry ones. She pet sat my 2 golden retrievers and they could not have been happier. She was punctual and always put in grand effort to make sure my pups were cared for.
I highly recommend Mariel as a responsible and loving pet caregiver for Rover.com.

Mariel's patience and understanding allow them to connect with pets on a profound level, establishing trust and fostering a positive relationship. Furthermore, Mariel is incredibly responsible and reliable. They prioritize punctuality and communicate effectively, ensuring pet owners have peace of mind while they are away. I have complete confidence in Mariel's ability to handle any situation that may arise, whether it's administering medication or addressing unexpected needs. If you're looking for a dedicated and trustworthy pet caregiver, Mariel is the perfect choice.

A typical day
When it comes to fun activities with the dogs I watch, I believe in tailoring experiences to their individual needs, energy levels, and preferences. Here are some of the enjoyable activities I like to engage in: 1. Playtime: I love engaging in interactive play sessions, whether it's with toys, fetch, or tug-of-war, to keep dogs mentally stimulated and physically active. 2. Nature walks: Exploring the great outdoors is always a treat for dogs. I enjoy taking them on scenic walks in nearby parks, nature trails, or dog-friendly beaches, where they can sniff, explore, and enjoy the sights and smells of nature. 3. Dog parks: If suitable for the dog's temperament and preferences, visits to dog parks can provide them with the opportunity to socialize, run freely in designated areas, and interact with other dogs in a safe and supervised environment. 4. Training and enrichment: I incorporate training exercises and mental stimulation activities into our time together. This can include basic obedience training, puzzle toys, or scent games to keep their minds sharp and encourage positive behaviors. 5. Relaxation and bonding: Sometimes, dogs just want to unwind and enjoy some quality bonding time. I ensure they receive plenty of affection, cuddles, and gentle grooming sessions, which can help foster a strong connection and provide a calming experience for them. Regarding special places for walks, I am familiar with local parks, trails, and dog-friendly areas in the vicinity. However, I always prioritize the safety and well-being of the dogs, so the choice of location will depend on factors such as their temperament, physical abilities, and any specific requirements or restrictions provided by the owner. Together, we'll explore places that provide a mix of stimulation, comfort, and, most importantly, a safe and enjoyable experience for the dogs.
