Furry and 4-legged friends, oh my!
Pet care experience
I've taken care of many animals, from tiny hamsters to big goofy rotties, and love meeting every one. I grew up with a spunky dachshund as my best buddy and the love for animals has only grown since! I'm a huge fan of mental stimulation, so my dog works for every toy or treat toss, and I try to incorporate that into the routine of every pet I care for to keep them entertained and happy while I'm with them. ***UPDATE 9/2021: new housing arrangements have me able to book very limited clientele for boarding, mostly just either past pups or upon thorough discussion+meeting and seeing if suitable! I live on unfenced acreage, with chickens, so limited to trusted dogs. Can full-stay housesit at homes for dogs and homes where my dog can come along 😊 I make sure I have plenty of time to be with your pup before I ever agree to care for them! I have high standards when leaving my dog to be cared for and treat your dog as if they were my own.
Reviews
She did an excellent job for more than two weeks. I will look for her again!
I could not have asked for a better, more responsible, more responsive sitter than Mariella! My border collie needs a lot of exercise, which can be a big time commitment, and Mariella went above and beyond with bike rides, frisbee, walks and more. She was extremely accommodating, and took incredible care of both my dog as well as the house. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
Mariella is an excellent pet sitter, we could not have asked for a better first time experience. She is very attentive to both the pet's and the owner's needs; from the meet and greet to the when we got home after our trip. I would highly recommend the use of her services for any future trips. Thanks again Mariella, you are the best.
I am a recurrent client of Mariella's services, and she always does a great job, my pet Jackie, loves her.

Information Mariella R. would like to know about your pet
I'd love to know pup's habits and routines before caring for them. Disrupting a routine creates stress that none of us want to add. Any behavioral issues are also a must-be-noted concern. If I need to make sure there are no toys laying around to guard or food aggression that may arise I need the heads up to prepare for the behavior.
A typical day
If your pup is dog friendly, the local dog park is full of dog-savvy people and I've always been pleased at how well everyone keeps up with their pet to make sure no issues arise. There is also a local agility course I love running my dog through, I'd love to try my hand at teaching other dogs the run. If we get a long stay, I love hiking and going for a walk by the creek, so water time and extra long walk times will ensue!
