⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mariela was absolutely amazing with my little Hercules! He’s a 5 lb Maltese and can definitely be a mama’s boy, so I’m always a little nervous leaving him with someone new—but he was comfortable with her immediately, even before I walked away. That alone gave me so much peace of mind. She was incredibly sweet, attentive, and accommodating, especially considering this was a last-minute booking. She sent me pictures and updates without me even having to ask, and I could tell Hercules was having the best time. He got plenty of walks, cuddles, attention, and honestly looked like he had fallen in love with her by the time I picked him up. 😂❤️ It means so much to be able to leave your fur baby with someone and genuinely not have to worry. Hercules was happy, comfortable, and clearly very well cared for. We will absolutely be using Mariela every time we need someone to watch him. I couldn’t recommend her enough! 🐾❤️

I highly recommend Mariela as a pet caregiver. She is responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely loves animals. Mariela is attentive to each pet’s needs and always makes sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Any pet owner can feel confident knowing their furry family member is in her hands. She treats every pet with kindness, patience, and affection.
