I’ve never been without animals!!

Pet care experience

I have never been without animals, immediately family, extended family, while I was growing up I have been around dogs. I have dog sat, cat sat, and even stayed at their house to give the animals company as they need it!

We appreciated her willingness to help us out last minute with our two baby girls while we went to Florida!

I am writing to enthusiastically recommend Mariela as an exceptional in-home pet sitter. I have had the pleasure of working with her for 2 years, during which she provided love and attention to my beloved pets and home. Mari demonstrates a genuine love for animals. She took the time to get to know my pets’ unique personalities, habits, and needs, which immediately put me at ease. It was clear that she values the well-being and happiness of the pets under her care. Mariela stayed in our home for 10 days during our most recent trip. Anytime we checked our security cameras, we saw that our pets were calm and relaxed, often sleeping on the sofa next to her. Upon our return home, we found our animals in great spirits and our home was clean and in the same condition we left it. Mariela demonstrated a high level of responsibility and reliability. She followed all care instructions diligently, ensuring that my pet's feeding, exercise, and medical needs were met with precision. Additionally, she maintained clear and consistent communication with us, providing regular updates via photo and video. We have had exceedingly positive experiences entrusting our pets and home under Mariela’s supervision, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking an in-home pet sitter. She has consistently gone above and beyond in providing high quality care, and I am confident that she will continue to do so for any pet placed under her care. We already have her booked for our next vacation!

I had to go out of town for a work training and needed someone I knew and trusted to look after my cat Gordon while I was away. She did a great job and sent me some pictures of them hanging out together that reinforced that I made the right decision.

During her time caring for my cat, Mariela has consistently demonstrated responsibility, attentiveness, and a genuine love for him. Whether it's feeding, cleaning up after, or simply spending quality time with him, I have always felt confident that my pet is in good hands. She has also shown good communication, always keeping me updated on my pets' well-being and any concerns that arise. I recommend Mariela to anyone in need of pet care services. She has proven herself to be dependable, compassionate, and dedicated to the well-being of animals.

Safety, trust & environment

If you ask me to crate your dog when I leave the house, I will do just that. Usually a list is left so I know just what your furry baby or babies need, rather it be for treats or care. I will keep to their feeding schedule and potty schedule, as well as their sleep schedule. Always remembering to give them lots of love and affection!

Information Mariela F. would like to know about your pet

If your pet needs any special care, let me know ahead of time so I can prepare for it. I am alright with giving them medicine and treating them for anything that might happen, every animal deserves love! No matter what situation and age they might be in!!

A typical day

I’ll play with them, pet them, relax with them, I’d love to take them for walks if that’s what they like to do. If there is a dog park near by, I’ll take them to that and see them run around, even give them treats every now and then but not too many. Give them many many belly rubs!
