About: I have been a dog/cat/house sitter for my family and friends for over 20 yrs. I will take care of your pets like my own I currently have a lot of time on my hands. I had to say goodbye to my dog last year and wanted to help other owners with theirs until I’m ready to adopt one of my own. That’s going to take some time. I’m I will have a lot of fun with pet(s). I enjoy going to the park or a hiking trail or staying in the backyard. They will be cared for and receive many hags and kisses. I understand the importance of a routine for some pets and will do whatever I can to keep them safe and happy.

Mariela stayed with our pets are our home this past weekend. We have two dogs and a bearded dragon. We highly recommend using Mariela for your pet sitting needs! Mariela was willing to stay at our home, handle our pets care, and provide love/comfort during her stay. Mariela even took our dogs for a walk to have a nice fun activity. Mariela also was willing to learn how to care for a bearded dragon. That can be incredibly challenging especially when it’s all new, but Mariela handled it like a champ! She showed both our dogs and our bearded dragon so much love. We are so incredibly thankful to her for everything she did! If you are needing a pet sitter, we strongly recommend Mariela! She is a true professional and she even sent us updates during her stay to help reassure mom and dad their babies were doing okay! Mariela thank you so so much for everything you did! We greatly appreciate you!

About: I've cared for dogs and cats of every kind since I was 15 years old. I started working part-time at Meyer’s Tails Up Farm as a Kennel Technician. I continued to worked part-time at Meyer’s Kennel until I graduated High School and was able to join their team full time. As a Kennel Technicain, I was responsible for the daily care of animals in a kennel setting, including: Animal care: Feeding animals according to their dietary needs, providing fresh water, administering medications as directed by a veterinarian. Cleaning and sanitation: Maintaining cleanliness of kennels, cages, and common areas by cleaning, disinfecting, and replacing bedding regularly. Exercise and socialization: Walking dogs, providing playtime, and engaging animals in appropriate enrichment activities to maintain their physical and mental health. Health monitoring: Observing animals for signs of illness or distress, reporting any abnormalities to the veterinarian. Animal handling: Safely restraining animals for procedures like medication administration, grooming, or transport. Record keeping: Maintaining accurate records of animal health, behavior, feeding schedules, and any medical treatments. I worked many years as a Technician and I was later promoted to Show Assistant. As a Show Assistant, I would travel with The Meyer’s the owners to Dog Shows to take care of the animals while we were on the road. The job responsibilities are pretty much the same as being a Kennel Technician, just doing it on the road instead of at the kennel. I also as a Show Assistant was responsible for getting the show dogs prepped and assisted the Meyer’s while they groomed the Show Dogs. We got them looking their best for when they entered the show ring. I pretty much have been around animals my whole life. Not just working with them but, growing up around them. Which is where my love for animal first begun. Both my parents also worked at Meyer’s . One of my parents was the Supervisor at the kennel and worked for them for over 20 years before passing away. My mom still is grooming for them at their other location for the past 17 years. My parents had 3 Soft Coat Weaton Terriers named Squash, Lucy, Apollo and 3 cat named Fisher,Ethel and Scooter. I participated in multiple different training classes with Lucy, Squash and Apollo with including agility classes. When I moved out of my parents house in 2011, I got my very 1st dog. A puppy named Wallie, he is a Shih Tzu poodle mix. Wallie and I completed training classes together and he got a certificate “Caine Good Citizen”. Wallie is still with us today. He is 14 years old and still going strong. My husband and I couple of years ago got our 2nd dog a Husky Puppy Named Daisy Mae. “She definitely kept us on our toes when she was a puppy. “She was a big ball of energy that was all over the place”. Now being older and with training she has calmed down alot . She is the sweetest, smartest and most loving 2 year old girl. We also have our 1 tuxedo cat Sokka, he is 7 years old. 2 Maine coon cats named Sunflower, she is 5 years old and Petals , he is 3 years old. I can’t forget about our two gold fish that my son won at the Byron Carnival 3 years ago Fishy and Rocky. I’m currently working part-time and I create my own schedule. I will have plenty of time for your furry friends. I am currently available on weekends as a sitter. You can schedule your furry friends walks. I will work my schedule around your furry friends needs. I will respect the clinic instructions and follow them in detail to ensure their home and the safety of their furry pets. If their furry pet needs to be crated for their safety I will. I make sure their pet will be watched and that they

About: I have been caring for animals my whole life, and have a passion when it comes to working with animals. Growing up, I have always had dogs and cats, and have also worked with horses and goats. I am extremely comfortable with all animals and have some experience looking after reptiles as well. I have worked at a vet clinic for the past 4 years and feel the knowledge and experience I gained there aids me in my ability to care for pets with their best interests in mind. I can administor oral and injection medications, perform animal first aid/cpr, recognize unusual behaviors/acute illness, care for elderly pets, medically dependant/complex pets, and also am able to work with behavioral pets who may struggle to connect with new people and/or are reactive to other animals. I pride myself on my ability to understand the individual personalities of each pet, and their specific wants/needs. I love working with animals and connecting with new pets and their families! I am extremely active and can keep up with your high energy pets! I also pride myself on staying in contact with families and sending lots of updates and pictures during walks/drop ins. I am currently working as an early childhood educator, and would love to build on my flexible schedule with pet sitting and drop ins! I am available afternoons and evenings, as well as the occasional early mornings. I am observant when it comes to caring for pets in a home. I get down and play with them, offer lots of love and pets, and I can follow instructions/guidelines for your pet in your home.

Ewa is such a great sitter. She just loves dogs (cats too but I only have a dog). It might be hard to trust someone new to come into your house when you're not home to take care of your fur baby, but Ewa gives me such a good feeling, I don't worry at all about the house or my Maizy.

About: I have owned a business for 8 years caring for pets, recently recognized by the Better Business Bureau within the last two years. I have worked with a variety of pets, some super sweet and some reactive, while ensuring both the safely of the pet and myself. I have worked with individuals with different expectations that I do my best to adapt and work with. I have enjoyed and continue to enjoy every minute of my mobile pet care journey. Feel free to message me, and I will let you know if I am available during that time. Pet sitting and walking is my full time job, so unless there is an event or I'm out of town myself, I will most likely be able to meet with you and your pet. Dogs are supervised at all times while outside, even within a fenced yard. If there is no fenced yard, they will be taken outside on a leash. Each visit is an individual visit with your pet alone so there will be no other interaction with pets unless you have others of your own.

About: I am the biggest animal lover. I am always putting their needs above mine. I am a huge dog lover but wouldn’t mind helping out with cats. My friends always joke that I am the person who people come to when there are lost dogs on Facebook. I will hop right into my Jeep and go out looking! I have three dogs of my own and if I could have a million I would.😊 I am a hairstylist so my schedule is kind of tricky. I can work around these hours below. :) My work hours are: Monday 8-4 Tuesdays 2-9 Wednesdays 2-9 Thursdays 8-4 Fridays off Saturdays 8-4 Sundays off If watching your pet in your home I will be extra careful when letting them out. If a fenced yard, I will always make sure that the fence is secure and the animals cannot get out.
