Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in your home, I will make sure that all instructions provided to me are followed. I will also keep things clean and make sure that your pet feels comfortable. Also, I will send photos of your pet regularly, so that you have a peace of mind knowing your pet is well taken care of! Most importantly, I will make sure your pet feels as loved as if it were my pet!

Information Mariela P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog is leash reactive towards people and animals, whether they need specific care instructions or medication; any other things you believe are important to know beforehand!

A typical day

I would love to take your dogs on fun adventures at the park, maybe even a hike if they are very high energy. I will play with your dogs and make sure they get enough cuddles!

Pet care experience

I have worked closely with veterinarians, as a volunteer at a veterinary clinic. From this experience, I was able to learn about how to take care of sick animals. I have also volunteered to help rescue dogs after extremely sad situations and help them get loving homes that they deserve. In addition to this, I have a big family of my own, including: a dog, a cat, a bearded dragon, a hermit crab, a snake and two parrots. I consider them my family and without them, my house wouldn’t feel like a home. 💕

We couldn’t be happier with choosing Mariela to walk Kali. Kali, absolutely loved her long walk. Not only did she come home happy and tired (the perfect combo for an active young dog), but we also got a bunch of great photos throughout the walk that made us feel completely comfortable with our decision to use Mariela for walking our dog. It’s clear that Mariela truly cares about the dogs she walks, Kali warmed up to her right away, which says a lot. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and the updates were thoughtful and reassuring. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and attentive who will treat your pup like their own, look no further. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!
