Pets

Safety, trust & environment

My cat is the main one who keeps me company. I feed him and love to play with him. I have a dog back home who I also enjoy spending time with. He is a very snuggly dog, so cuddle sessions are a must. I live in a pretty calm neighborhood. I do live in an apartment complex, however there are a few neighborhoods around me that would be great for walks!

Mariel was super helpful during this cold weather. She did the normal cat stuff, and also helped with making sure my water was okay: cabinets open, faucets dripping. She was really communicative, and we were able to take things one day at a time. The cats love her, and appreciate the attention she gives them. She has good instincts for figuring out what the problem might be if a cat's eating pattern is off, and how to address it. She's a "cat whisperer".

Mariel is always so good with the cats--they really love her. She sends great pictures, and is very communicative, both through Rover cards and texts. And she's great at giving extra attention to a kitty that's having a hard time.

This was my first time leaving my boys with a sitter and Mariel did an amazing job at taking care of my boys! She was so sweet and caring and I will definitely be rebooking with her.
