About Mariela
Experience: 4 yrs
If you're anything like me, your pet is more than just a pet-they're an extension of you. You're in-tune with their every need, and the thought of entrusting them to someone new is a little scary. Trust me, I've been there. I'm the mom of two senior chihuahua girls and "auntie" to dozens of cats and dogs. I've been dog walking, boarding, and cat sitting on the side for neighbors for about 3 years now. If you count pet sitting for friends and family, that number is closer to 12 years. With my years of experience having my own dogs, fostering cats, and pet sitting, I feel confident interacting with any pet. Do you have a shy cat who won't want to interact at first? No problem, I know we'll be buddies with time. Do you have an arthritic, 70lb senior who needs to be carried up stairs? I got you. I look forward to connecting with new clients and adding a few new nieces and nephews to my list.
