I'd love to play with your dog!
Pet care experience
I have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, fish, and hamsters throughout my entire life and find taking care of animals is a passion for me. I currently have a 5 year old, staffordshire/pit mix rescue that struggles with PTSD and anxiety. He requires a lot of love and reassurance that my partner and I are happy to provide. Prior to him, I had a loving pomeranian for 11 years, who made it to her senior years and required a lot of medical attention daily, which made me comfortable to care for dogs with extra needs. Before her, I cared for larger dogs such as golden retrievers, German Shepards, and muts. I have pet sit before for small and large dogs alike, as well as cats. I am very comfortable with administering medication, I've done this with previous pets, as well as dogs I've sat for. My availability is currently pretty open as I establish myself in a new city. Please reach out if you have any questions on my experience. I can't wait to love your pet like I love my own! I am currently a stay at home pet parent. My dog goes to school to help assist my partner and I with training and socializing post shelter life. Pet care for me is 24/7, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I happily oblige all rules set by each individual pet parent. I personally love to give pets as many hugs and kisses as they permit. I enjoy snuggling with them wherever they choose to lie. I love playing with them in the home, parks, or wherever their favorite play area is. As long as they have the best day every day I feel like my job is done.
Reviews
Mariska was so wonderful to our pitbull when we needed a dog walker while we were on vacation. She set up a meet and greet prior to our trip and connected with our dog right away! Over the week we were gone, Mariska was very communicative and flexible when we needed a schedule adjustment and took great care of our dog. We loved working with Mariska and are so happy to have a reliable walker in the neighborhood. Highly recommend working with Mariska!

I've had Mariska walk my dog and take care of my cat many times and she is the best with animals! I'm not normally gone from my pets that long, but when I am I like to make sure they are taken care by someone I trust and know who loves animals. She always takes the time to not only feed/walk/clean the litter box for them, but also spend a little time playing with them and making sure they get a good amount of love (trust me, my cat is even the neediest, she needs it).

Skills
Information Mariska R. would like to know about your pet
I want to know temperament. For instance if they are social with other dogs or not, if they are super high energy and love to play or more laid back and all about the snuggle life. If they are a senior dog, do they still enjoy long walks, and will they need extra care.
A typical day
Stays with me will include walks, lots of outside time if the weather permits, play time, and a whole lot of pets, treats, and snuggles.
