Pet care experience

Giving your pet all day play!

Growing up my family had a farm and they raised and trained dogs. I have a home with a private fenced yard and a two year-old Australian Shepherd. I have experience, caring for puppies, senior dogs, and special needs dogs as well as traumatized dogs. My pup gets an hour of walking in a day so your dog would enjoy the same exercise. I give dogs lots of playtime and love and have experience giving medication if necessary. My Australian Shepherd is extremely friendly and loves having friends over. I promise to take amazing care of your furry companion!

House Sitting • Nov 24, 2025

Mariel was one of the best, most knowledgeable and thorough pet sitters we’ve ever had! I can’t say enough good words. She took care of our 10 week puppy, medical needs elderly cat, and our other dog/3 other cats. She had our whole chaotic household locked down and organized while we were gone. 😁 She even worked on potty training and basic commands with our puppy. We’re so glad to have found her!

Doggy Day Care • Nov 04, 2025

I am very pleased with Mariel. She is very conscientious and loving. She enjoys taking the dogs for walks and playing ball with them. I received videos and texts from her frequently. I highly recommend her...

If you’re seeking a pet sitter that will love your pet unconditionally and treat it like family then Mariel is your go to sitter! She has experience with dogs, cats and Guinea Pigs! Always kind, loving and focused on providing excellent care is a her priority. I trust her with both my pup Olive and my Guinea Pig Harold. Additionally, I’m a pet sitter too, and when I’m not available I refer my clients to Mariel.

Mariel helped take care of my dog that had issues from past trauma and abuse. She was very adept at helping manage her anxiety and needs. Mariel is very attentive and able to meet the needs of a more complex pet like mine. Her attention to detail made a difference. I feel she is trustworthy which is hard to find!

I always have problems with my high maintenence dog and leaving him with someone new, but I felt totally at ease when I met mariel, and more importantly, so did my dog! She took the time to really get to know him and understand his quirks, and I could tell she genuinely cared. While I was away, she sent thoughtful updates and sweet photos that made me smile and reassured me he was in great hands. When I picked him up, he was relaxed, happy, and clearly had a great time — which honestly says it all. It’s such a relief to know there’s someone I can fully trust to look after him like I would. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!
