Information Mariella H. would like to know about your pet

I'm happy to care for dogs of any age and breed. I have experience working with senior animals and can accommodate for any special needs as long as I have enough prewarning to prepare.

A typical day

I know much of the surrounding area well so can take your dog on great walks with lots of stimulation. I can choose areas which are quieter if your dog is anxious around other dogs, or can take them to parks where I know they will have to opportunity to socialise with other dogs.

Pet care experience

**Available in Leeds outside of University term time, and in Cambridge during term time; my location should be correct for current availability, but for bookings further in the future please message me to check where I will be!** I've had pets - particularly cats - for my whole life. Whilst I've never had a dog, I have had plenty exposure to them, including as a part of an animal handling course I have done within my Veterinary Medicine degree at the University of Cambridge. Also have experience at kennels and catteries.

Mariella was great with our dog, Daisy, who is getting quite elderly. She has a burst cyst that needs to be kept clean and Mariella was great with that.

Mariella was great. Really lovely with our dog and cat. Great at replying to messages. And left the house looking neat and tidy. Thank you! :)

Mariella did a great job of looking after our rather elderly dog and was fantastic at communicating. I would definitely use her again and would recommend her to others.

Mariella looked after our dog in our home for a week while we were away. She has been a regular dog walker for us and our dog loves her so we were very happy to leave him with her. Mariella is always responsive and sent updates while we were away. The week went very well, the dog was happy and the house was left clean and tidy.

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.
