Pet care experience

Trusted care for your furry friends

Our pets are such an important part of our life and making sure they are well taken care of when we can't be with them let's us not have to worry about them when we have a long day at work or travel! I can pop in and check on your furry friends and make sure they are happy and healthy in their own home as well as make sure they get the playtime and exercise they need. I've had dogs in my life since I was a child and as an adult I've been able to raise two dogs from the time they were puppies. Young pups or senior pups, I've experienced the different stages and I've loved them through it all. More recently we've been adopted by two cats, one that showed up as a kitten almost two years ago and another that showed up a few months ago and just came in and made herself at home. I've also loved my family's dogs of all sizes from a sassy little westie to a golden retriever. I've cared for friend's cats and dogs as well and always made sure that they were happy and safe. I know that leaving our pets at home isn't always easy. I would make sure your furry friends get the attention they need, whether it's a nice walk or some playtime. I'm here to make sure they feel loved!

Safety, trust & environment

Of course, I will always respect your home! Depending on which services your pet needs, this could include making sure your pets are well taken care of with fresh food and water, some playtime, and some walks. If your pets have had an accident I will clean up after them. I would also clean up after them in the yard, as needed.

Mariella is absolutely amazing! We are always able to have such worry trips out of town knowing that she’s taking care of our fur babies!

Mariella was amazing with our dog and cat! She went above and beyond to make sure they were happy while we were away as well as helped out with some things for the house. We were able to enjoy our time away without a single worry about our pets. Our dog is very high energy and can be a pain in the butt, but Mariella took on the challenge and took extra care to make sure our dog was happy and fulfilled while we were away. Will definitely book again if we take another trip!

Mariella is such an animal lover, and it shows in every interaction she has with my dog. She is attentive, caring, and treats him like one of her own. Mariella is also very active—she plays with them and walks them. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pet.

Mariella has cared for several of my dogs over the years ranging from small to larger dogs and all with different energy levels. Each time, she has provided them with the love and attention they deserve. She enjoys taking them on walks, playing with them, and spoiling them with cuddles. I'm always comfortable with leaving my fur babies in her care!

I work part time and have the ability to pop in and check on your furry friends in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I can take them on walks in the mornings or evenings (as long as it's not too hot for them). On weekends, I'm also available to take them out for long morning walks or even the dog park if they like that!

I would connect with you to learn all about your pets and if they have any special needs or behaviors. I know they are all different and some are a little more shy than others. I have experience with friendly dogs and cats, as well as dogs and cats that prefer to be around people and animals they are familiar with.
