“Mariah’s experience and personality makes her a great pet sitter. Our German Shepherd was a rescue that had been abused and she is generally wary of people, but took to Mariah instantly. If we should need a pet sitter in the future, we would hire Mariah without hesitation.”

About: I have had animals in my home since I was born. I have had small to large dogs, and believe that each requires love, nurture and one to one time to live the best life. I am adamant about taking my dogs out for exercise regardless of the weather, and thoroughly enjoy cuddle time! Any special needs your pet has, I can accommodate, whether medical or for comfort. I am flexible in my care routine, and open to feedback. I work from home and have a very flexible job that allows me to play with and care for my animals at ease. I have a free schedule in the evenings and on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and love to play with my animals outside. I have several dog beds and they find comfort on the couch!

About: I have been in pet care professionally for approximately 12 years. I was a non certified vet tech, am a certified dog trainer, as well as a CGC tester and evaluator through the AKC. I worked at a dog daycare/boarding facility for the last almost 10 years. I have worked with stranger danger pups, fear aggressive pups, non social pups, as well as leash reactivity. My passion is to not only help the pet parents but also to help each pup be the very best version of themselves. Since moving to Tennessee I decided this is a good opportunity for me to follow my passion; animals. My life revolves around animals; I will be doing pet care as a full time job. When I am caring for pets they become a part of my family. I believe in only positive reinforcement. Knowing how to read body language is extremely important.

About: I have had experience working on a farm with a variety of animals. I also worked at a boarding resort for dogs and cats where I followed feeding schedules, worked with fearful and aggressive dogs and cats, and played with animals residing there. My major in college is animal science with a concentration of pre-veterinarian. I am currently in college taking animal science courses and working around animals weekly. I have pets of my own as well and watch them on a day to day basis. I make sure to build a foundation of trust with the animal before anything. I want your pet to feel comfortable and safe around me and that involves taking things slow and making sure they are comfortable with me. I will feed and water your pet, take them on walks and play with them and make sure they get the exercise needed. Not only that but it depends on how the owner prefers things. If an animal is injured, I won’t over exercise them and do small things like taking a few steps to walk. As long as your pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy!

She followed our instructions to a tee which allowed me to relax and know they were in great hands. Do not hesitate to trust her with the care of your pets. We will absolutely ask her back in the future.”

“We have known Heather for about 10 years, and she is someone we absolutely trust with the care of our dog, Cali. Heather is incredibly caring, attentive, and dependable. She has always taken great care of Cali, ensuring she feels safe, happy, and loved. She treats Cali like a princess, giving “Princess Cali" the royal treatment every time they are together. Our dog absolutely adores her special time with her “bestie” Heather; the moment Cali sees Heather, she completely forgets we are leaving and lights up with excitement. Knowing Heather is caring for Cali gives us complete peace of mind, and we couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter or friend for our sweet girl.”
