Safety, trust & environment

When I come to your home I am careful to leave everything the same or better than it was. I can bring in packages or pick up any accidents that may have happened. I like to be made aware of any escape artist so I can be extra alert. I tend to keep the dogs I’m walking away from other dogs or people unless you let me know otherwise.

Information Mariela L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what your pet is like. Do they like to be cuddled or prefers to be left alone. Do they have a specific toy they love to play with? Is there a certain path they like to walk? And most importantly, anything that they don’t like so I know not to do that.

A typical day

What I enjoy most is taking my own huskies on trails where there is so much sightseeing and smells and if we’re lucky there will be a water body near ie. lake, creek or beach.

Pet care experience

I have been working with rover for over two years now but have taken care of my own and friends pets long before. I have experience with older dogs that may need medication and young pups that need playtime and guidance. There is nothing I enjoy more than taking a stroll with my littles or a good jog with my bigger pups. I understand how busy life can be and would love to help alleviate the worry of not having enough time or energy to play with or take your fur baby on a walk.

Mariela was amazing! She met with us before we booked and gave great updates as needed when checking on our pups. Loved being able to see photos and real time updates of each visit. So easy to work with! :)

Mariela did amazing! She was very flexible and was able to meet our needs very last minute. My dogs loved her and she was there everyday and sent progress updates each visit. Will definitely have her watch our pups again! Thank you Mariela!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
