Attentive, Loving and Caring
Pet care experience
I have had pets and have been pet sitting from a young age. I truly am an “animal person.” I love them so much and genuinely enjoy being around them and taking care of them. I am a caregiver by nature so making sure they are safe, comfortable, healthy, and happy comes easily to me. I love to be outside in nature so if there are any parks or trails nearby I would be happy to take your pet there if you think they would enjoy it. I will gladly snuggle and give affection but I also understand that not all pets want that. I will pay attention to learn your individual pet’s likes and dislikes and cater to them. I have no problem with uncommon requests. If you want me to literally feed your cat with a silver spoon or sing a specific song to your dog, I will happily do so. I can be very particular about my pets care so I understand. I have an 11-year-old male American Staffordshire Terrier dog and a 5-year-old female Silver Persian cat. They are a very needy (my fault for spoiling them) but they bring me so much joy every single day. I am open to pet sitting at my home in the future if I think your pet(s) and mine will get along and they have a successful introduction to each other. I am easy-going, understanding and trustworthy. I assure you that while I am caring for your pet in your home, I will do so with the utmost integrity, professionalism, and respect for your privacy. I want you to feel comfortable and at ease having me in your home with your precious pets. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask!

I HIGHLY recommend Mariel! She is sweet, caring and active with your doggies! This is her second time staying with my very nervous dog and a new dog as well and she handled like a pro. I can leave my fur babies with no nerves knowing she is there with them. Mariel treats your dogs like her own! Will continue to rebook and highly recommend you do too!
Mariel took amazing care of my VERY nervous beagle, Donny, for a week! She is responsible, responsive, and will take EXCELLENT care of your pet. Donny doesn't do well with new people. but Mariel was patient and extremely sweet while he got acclimated. She took Donny to the dog parks multiple time during her stay, and made sure to send plenty of photo and video updates. Highly recommend, and thank you again Mariel!
Mariel is great! My dog loved her immediately. She is kind and flexible.
Mariel is a wonderful, responsible, and loving dog caregiver! She took care of my golden doodle for a week while I was away on vacation and when I came to pick my dog up, she didn't want to leave! My dog came home happy, fed, clean, acting like she had the best time of her life. You can really trust her to pay close attention to your animal; she texted me a couple times (which I asked her to do) updating me about how my dog was eating and socializing. She asked really smart questions about my dog's behavior which I really appreciated because it showed me how much she cared. Mariel's the best!
