Hi! My name is Mariana, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with several years of experience caring for pets. I volunteered at a dog shelter for a decade and have been a foster home for more than 30 animals — including both dogs and cats, from newborns to seniors — providing them with love, medical care, and support until their adoption, or because they required special care and close attention.

I offer pet sitting in the pet’s own home, where they feel most safe and comfortable. I have experience with animals who require special attention, including administering medication and caring for those with health conditions. Whether it’s going for long walks, playing, feeding, or simply giving cuddles and companionship, I’ll make sure your pet feels loved and well looked after while you’re away.

My motivation to be a pet sitter comes from the deep joy and connection animals bring into our lives. I’ve also been vegetarian for over 10 years. I will always do my best to accommodate their specific needs. 

About my services: 

I’m generally available in the mornings and afternoons, and occasionally in the evenings. I’ll do my best to fit your schedule and your pet’s needs!

I offer:
Dog walking: they’re usually 30–60 minutes long, depending on your pet’s energy and needs. I like to explore safe and fun areas like nearby parks and quiet streets to make sure your dog enjoys their time outside.

Home visits: I usually stay for at least 30–60 minutes, but I’m flexible and can stay as long as you need. I’ll feed your pets, give them fresh water, play with them, clean up if needed, and I can water plants or bring in the mail if you like. 

House sitting: I can stay overnight or for as long as you need, depending on your trip and your pet’s routine. I’ll keep the home secure by locking up carefully and making sure everything stays safe and tidy. 

I’ll be happy to keep you updated with photos and videos so you can see how your pet is doing.
