Hi! I’m Mariana, and I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a cat and two dogs, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. My cat sadly passed away in 2023, and although I can’t currently have pets in my apartment, I already know that the first thing I’ll do when I move somewhere pet-friendly is adopt another cat. Until then, I’d love to spend time caring for yours!

I’ve looked after my aunt and uncle’s dogs on several occasions, and while I don’t have professional pet care experience, I was lucky enough to grow up with my mom, who is a veterinarian. She taught me from an early age how to care for animals with patience, kindness, and attention to detail. I’m confident following feeding schedules, daily routines, walks, and administering oral medication when needed. After living with a senior cat and two very clever dogs, I’ve become quite experienced at giving medication, even to pets who think they’re one step ahead!

I’m currently offering pet sitting in your home and home visits for both cats and dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. I know every pet has their own personality, so I’ll always adapt to their routine, whether that means energetic playtime, long walks, quiet company, or simply respecting their space until they’re ready for cuddles. If your dog already knows basic commands, I’m also happy to reinforce them during walks or play.

During home visits, I’m happy to feed your pet, refresh their water, clean litter boxes, take dogs for walks, spend quality time playing or cuddling, administer oral medication if required, and make sure they receive lots of love and attention before I leave. For overnight pet sitting, I’ll keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible, giving them companionship and consistency while you’re away.

I’m currently job searching, which means I have a very flexible schedule and can often accommodate bookings during weekdays, weekends, or evenings. I also know how reassuring it is to know your pet is happy, so I’ll happily send regular photo and video updates throughout my visits or stay.

I know how much trust it takes to leave a beloved pet in someone else’s care. They’re family, and that’s exactly how I’ll treat them. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is safe, well cared for, and receiving plenty of affection. I can’t wait to meet you and, of course, your wonderful companion ☺️
