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

Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, and any routines your pet is used to. I keep dogs supervised and make sure they are secure during walks. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and getting lots of attention.

Mariju was an amazing with Rezzy! She was so quick to respond when I found myself without a sitter for a last-minute trip. While I was gone Mariju took fantastic care of Rezzy, sent me lots of pictures and updates, and left my apartment nice and clean for when I returned!!

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.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Mariju can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I’d love to know about your pet’s normal routine, personality, energy level, feeding schedule, and any special needs before our booking. Please also let me know about medications, allergies, triggers, separation anxiety, leash behavior, or anything that makes your pet uncomfortable. The more I know about them, the better I can make their time with me safe and comfortable.
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.
