Pet care experience

About me: I love all animals! I've grown up with them at such a young age and I've had many different kinds, such as bunnies, hedgehogs, birds, cats, dogs, ferrets, and turtles! I've been an animal person as long as I can remember and I've always provided quality care for my pets. I don't feed them cheap food and I give them a routine to follow. I currently have a poodle named Ginger! She is the cutest pup ever! She loves to play and is really friendly! Therefore, I prefer pets that are okay with other pets. Also because I live in an apartment complex that allows pets around and i plan to exercise your baby unless told otherwise. I will do my best to provide the best care for your baby and will follow their routine to the best of my abilities! My dog has many toys that I'm sure she wouldn't mind sharing! (She has like 20 and only plays with 3 lol). I also prefer a pet that is potty trained just to avoid a mess. If you have a puppy, however, I would require puppy pads since they might still be training. I can teach your pet to do tricks as well! My dog knows how to sit, speak, shake, high five, roll over, spin, up, and is learning beg! I see all pets as a part of a family and not a property. I will care for your pet as if it was my own. And with being a pet parent, I know what it's like to love and care for your fur baby!

This was our first time using Rover and we were happy with the services Mariella provided. Mariella kept us posted with text and photos how Riley was doing and he looked very happy. ???

It really makes me sad to have to leave an unfavorable review. My past experiences with Rover have been nothing but fantastic, however, this last time had me very concerned. My dog, Carl, has some medical issues that requires him to be on several medications. I was relieved to see that Mariella's profile listed her familiarity with administering all types of medications. Even still, I carefully walked her through the schedule I had created, which had important words in bold and in red, i.e. when/how a certain medication should be given. The morning after he was picked up, I noticed that a weeks' worth of one medications' pills were missing. Doing the math, it appeared that Mariella administered twice the dosage that Carl required. She confirmed that this was the case, even though it went directly against the instructions given. Fortunately this was a supplement that did not have an adverse effect, however, I shudder to think what would have happened to him had it been another medication. He could have gotten very sick, or worse:( In addition, Mariella found a bloody towel in Carl's crate and did not seem to understand where it came from. A while later she sent a photo of Carl with the top of his nose raw with blood. I immediately asked how long she had been leaving him in the crate because he probably rubbed it raw trying to get out. Come to find out that he had peed in his crate days earlier and it had not been properly cleaned. No wonder the poor little guy did not want to be in his crate:( The entire time we've had Carl he's never once had an issue with the crate, or having a single house training issue. Not a single accident, and not a single escape attempt. It's needless to say how upset we were at these incidences, and how stressed we were being away from him. We were so worried about Carl that we had our friends pick him up early. We will not be leaving our baby with Mariella again.
