Safety, trust & environment

My Fiancé and I live on the 3rd floor of apartments and have a decent size balcony that has a real grass patch (provided by DoggyLawn, love them I suggest everyone with a balcony to get this subscription service) and room to stretch their legs, lay out, & people watch as they please. This is not a substitution for walks! We go on plenty of walks. I also like to frequent my complex’s dog park and it is huge, I love to watch them run around and tire out.

Information Mariyana A. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has special needs or behaviors that I can account and prep for. Pls don’t forget to tell me if your pet has any allergies so they can be avoided. I like to be as mentally prepared as possible so that the stay is easy and safe for all humans and dogs involved. All dogs will behave a little differently in a new place and around new people. Even the most well trained animals have shown a little bit of regression under stress or a strange transition and that is just fine . I like to make the transition as smooth and safe as possible, going at your pets pace. At night I don’t mind puppers sleeping in bed w me however if your dog in new environments is prone to showing signs of heavy stress symptoms or constantly marking territory or does not know how to settle down on their own I do believe it’s best to send your pup with their kennel/their own “den”. A space that is just theirs and no one else’s. You know your dog best, please be realistic about your dog’s behavior and needs so i can best accommodate them:) can’t wait to meet you!

A typical day

Jupiter and I frequent the local dog parks and like to try new ones and make friends along the way. If we decide to stay home I know a few brain games for my furry friends to keep them occupied.

Pet care experience

Animals of all kind really take to me. Creating and maintaining a space that they feel safe and comfortable in is my specialty. I will always treat your fur baby as if they are my own!! I have experience in administering medications like pills & shots.

Mariyana is the best sitter ever. My senior pup just had her cast taken off and needed a bit more TLC than usual. Mariyana responded with the highest care and concern. She is literally the best.

Mariyana was so nice and friendly. My dogs didn’t bark at her once when they met, which felt like a really good sign, they trusted her. Mariyana had great communication and updated me with photos throughout their stay. I am pleased with the care and look forward to booking with her in the future.
