Pet care experience

Your pet’s new best friend

I have experience caring for my own dogs back home, which has taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and giving pets the love and attention they deserve. As a dog lover, I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I understand that pets are family, and I will care for your dog as if they were my own. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your furry friend receives the care and attention they need while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

I currently live in an apartment, so I don’t have a yard. However, that doesn’t stop us from having fun! We can go on walks around the neighborhood or enjoy a stroll at Tempe Town Lake. If your pup prefers a quieter day, I’m also happy to spend time cuddling, playing indoors, and making sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home.

Mariju took amazing care of our two dogs. She sent great pictures throughout her stay, left the house in beautiful condition, walked them regularly and we can tell they both loved her! Would recommend to anyone and would book again

I have known Mariju since birth , and she is one of the most dependable, honest, and trustworthy people I know. She has a huge heart for animals and is incredibly detail-oriented and responsible. If you are looking for a sitter who will respect your home and give your dog genuine love and attention, Mariju is the perfect choice."

Schedule

I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of free time to give your pup the attention, care, and playtime they deserve. I’m available on Wednesdays and weekends, and I love spending time with dogs, whether it’s going for walks, playing, or simply keeping them company. Your furry friend will be treated with the same love and care I give my own dogs.
