Hi! I’m Mariana, a lifelong animal lover with Veterinary Assistant training and previous experience working as a pet sitter and dog walker. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I love getting to know each pet’s personality, habits and little quirks. My veterinary training has also given me useful knowledge of animal behaviour, basic health care and how to recognise signs that a pet may need extra attention. I offer dog walking, home visits and pet sitting in your own home, so your pet can stay comfortable in a familiar environment while you’re away or busy. Dog walks usually last around 30–60 minutes, depending on your dog’s age, energy level and normal routine. I’m happy to adapt the pace, from relaxed walks for older dogs to longer, more active walks for energetic ones. Home visits can include feeding, fresh water, playtime, cuddles, litter tray or basic pet-area cleaning, and of course spending some quality time with your pet. Visits can usually be arranged for around 30–60 minutes. I’m comfortable caring for dogs, cats and other small companion animals, and I always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, routines and individual needs. I’m currently available on Mondays, Wednesdays and weekends, on Thursdays after 12:00, and on Fridays from 18:00. Above all, I want owners to feel completely comfortable knowing their pets are with someone responsible, patient and genuinely caring. I’ll treat your pet with the same attention, affection and respect I would want for my own. 🐾
