Availability

As a remote worker who dictates their own schedule, I often find myself sitting for many hours at my desk, attending to my daily task and the like. To combat the stiffness of desk work, I find the best way to do so is to get out the house and take my mind off things and what better way to do that by being around pets? Since my schedule is a bit of my own, I am easily available to attend to another pets’ needs throughout the day when one might be at work or vacation.

Safety, trust & environment

If is the first time meeting a pet, I take a lead with patience and understand that I am a guest in their home. I wait for the pet to become familiar with me and my behavior, going at their pace to make sure that they still feel safe in their environment. Once a bond is made and there’s trust, then I feel more comfortable being able to be more playful with the pet if that’s in their nature, or just relaxing next to them if they prefer.

Information Mariyah E. would like to know about your pet

To make sure that every pet is accommodated if needed be, I’d like to know if the pet has any special needs, diet, or medication that they have and/or take. Because I live with a cat that has allergies, I understand certain precautions must be taken in place to help mitigate a pet’s sensitivities.

A typical day

Whether it be a couch potato or a zoomer, I love to introduce fun games and playtime to pets to get them up and excited. Whether it be attempting a new training skill, or running and with them, it’s always nice to see the enjoyment on a pet’s face when fun is introduced.

Pet care experience

Whether it be cats, dogs, bunnies, ferrets, or fish, I’ve had my share fair of experience when it has come to a variety of pets and animals. Pets are such a big part of our lives that they deserve all the care and attention bestowed upon them, and I have plenty to give! Leading with a patient and gentle hand, I never rush the pets around me for approval or pets, preferring to let them take their time to get to know me so that they’re both comfortable with me and their environment. In the same way that I would want someone to be careful and mindful of my pets and treat them with kindness, I would love to ease the worries of other pet owners just as well.

Mariyah has both dog walked and pet sat for my husband and I on multiple occasions. While we work hybrid, some days in the office last longer than others and on those days we ask Mariyah to give Olive, our lab, a walk and some play. Olive always comes back tired and happy, which makes our nighttime walks a little easier on us as well. If we’re out of town, and depending on how long, Mariyah has sat for us for a weekend and if it’s longer, has boarded Olive. She always makes sure to leave a detailed note of what they did that day, when she was fed, any changes of behavior, and photos. She’s been one of the most consistent and attentive pet sitters we’ve ever met.
