Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving and reliable pet sitter
I have years of pet-sitting experience, along with being a longtime pet owner myself. I’m experienced in caring for senior dogs who need extra assistance, as well as raising and caring for puppies. I’m dependable, punctual, attentive, and a great communicator. Most importantly, I treat every pet with the same care and affection I would give my own.
Cat care experience
mariko also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
I always make the safety and comfort of each pet my priority. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions and maintain the pet’s usual routine as much as possible. I’m attentive, respectful of my client’s home, and make sure pets receive plenty of care, companionship, and attention while their owners are away.
Ratings and reviews
I had Mariko dog-sit my senior shepard many times. My dog was an old guy and he needed help getting up and down. She provided such gentle and loving care for my dog. Super reliable and she has excellent communication skill. She always reply to my text promtly.
I have a very timid dog. She is shy and takes time to warm up. Mariko was very patient and my dog warmed up to her quicky. She is patien, loving and reliable.
We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. Mariko cared for Shisha, our calico cat, and Ozzie, our 13-year-old dog, as if they were her own. Ozzie is a senior with his own needs and routines, and Mariko was patient, gentle, and attentive with him. Shisha, who can be particular about who she trusts, warmed up to her right away. Mariko sent thoughtful updates while we were away, which gave us complete peace of mind, and we came home to two happy, relaxed pets and a house just as we left it. It’s rare to find someone you can trust with family members who can’t speak for themselves. We’ll be booking her again without hesitation and recommend her wholeheartedly. Thank you, Mariko!
Mariko is incredibly reliable, efficient, and thoughtful! She has a wonderful, big heart and always understands what needs to be done right away. Everything I’ve ever asked of her, she’s handled quickly and with amazing attention to detail. Her positive energy and great vibes make her a joy to work with. I couldn't recommend her enough to any pet parent looking for someone trustworthy and caring and she has love for all animals and humans!!!
