Pet care experience
I’ve had pets my entire life. I grew up being the primary caretaker for 2 dogs, feeding, walking, cleaning up after, and administering medicine. I rescued my current dog Archie a year ago and have been rich in joy ever since. A typical day usually starts early. I’ll feed the pups and take them on a light hour long jog or walk first thing in the morning, followed by petting and play time. Midday I always return to take the animals out. Staying active is very important to me and I’m an avid outdoorsman; if you feel comfortable with your pet going on outings, I love taking afternoon hikes. Dinnertime is always followed by another stroll around the block, with one last bathroom break before bed. I live in a two bedroom house in North Shore. Your pets will have free range of the house while I’m there. When I’m not at home I use the second bedroom as a puppy play area full of doggie beds and toys. Archie is sweet, friendly, playful, and makes friends with any animal he meets. However, he is a very submissive dog so aggressive behavior is not allowed. I would also prefer house guests to be potty trained. While majority of my experience is with dogs, I have a love for all animals. No matter the type of creature, I promise to precisely follow any of your specifications and instructions. Under my care, your pet will be treated like a member of the family.
Reviews
Mariel was great! Not only did she take care of our two older cats but she agree to take of our chincilla even though this was a first for her. We called every boarding location in Chattanooga and no one had experience caring for a chinchilla and none would even consider taking him. We could not have been happier with the care all three of our pets received and would definitely use her again.
Mariel did a wonderful job of caring for my elderly Pippa and I have already booked her again for another stay. When I picked her up, she seemed very energetic and recharged.
Mariel has one of the biggest most playful hearts I know. She has a sense of responsibility, respectfulness, fun, and tender care when taking care of animals. Mariel respects animals' need for stimulation, their need for love, their need for care, their space if necessary, and each and every different personality that comes her way. She has a love for the outdoors and brings that into her dog's life whenever she can. I trust Mariel with my dog, Reggie, any and every time I need a sitter. I always come back to a happy, tired, loving life even more Reggie! She will provide a responsible, loving, and enriching environment for your dog and won't let you down in any way, shape, or form.
Mariel is a fantastic caretaker, especially to dogs! I have known her for 10 years and she has always put her animals' needs first. She definitely knows the importance of proper exercise/activity, good health, and TLC. She is also highly responsible, organized, and a pleasure to be around. I highly recommend Mariel for any dogsitting job!
