Information Mariela S. would like to know about your pet

It’s important to know each pet’s personality, health conditions, dietary needs, favorite activities, and any fears or triggers ahead of time. This information helps me provide safe, personalized care and ensures your pet feels comfortable and happy during our time together.

A typical day

When caring for pets, I love engaging in activities like interactive play with toys, gentle walks, and cuddle time. Knowing their favorite games, energy level, and any special needs ahead of time helps me tailor each activity to ensure they feel happy, safe, and comfortable.

Pet care experience

What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive experience caring for senior dogs, including my own 13-year-old companion, Angel. She’s a wonderful example of how older pets can still be energetic and joyful with the right care and attention. I understand the unique needs of senior animals, such as gentle exercise, medication management, and extra patience. Additionally, I’m skilled at adapting activities to suit each pet’s age and personality, whether it’s training puppies or providing comfort to older pets. My compassionate approach ensures every pet feels safe, loved, and engaged, no matter their stage of life.

Mariela accepted my dog visit bookings on short notice over the 4th of July weekend and took great care of them. She followed my instructions expertly and sent me photos. I recommend her 10/10!

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.
