About Mariana

For 16 years, I raised Kala, my dog from a 4-month-old puppy through her senior years and it was the most rewarding experience of my life. We lived together in four different countries. When she started struggling with arthritis in her later years, I learned how to help her move comfortably and keep her happy and loved. That experience taught me patience and how to really listen to what a pet needs.

I've also cared for friends' and family's pets, from a big playful German Shepherd to tiny kittens. I love working with senior dogs, but I'm equally enthusiastic about playful pups and curious cats. With me, your pet will have

-Daily walks (for dogs), playtime, and genuine attention and affection.

-Special care for senior or mobility-challenged pets

-Regular photo updates so you're always connected

-Open communication about your pet's day

Whether you need someone to pop by while you're away, do regular dog walks, or just spend quality time with your furry family member, I'm here for it.

I live with my partner in an spacious apartment in the city center of Gent, currently we have no other pets, so your furry friend gets my full attention. The place has big windows if they enjoy watching the world go by and a small balcony. Since I work from home, they'll have company all day long.

Just a heads up: my street is experiencing some construction work at the moment, so if your dog is sensitive to noise and activity while walking, you might want to chat with me about whether it's the right fit. The building has an elevator and some greenery downstairs but we are located in the city center.

If your pet struggles with separation anxiety or prefers their own space, no problem, I'm happy to come care for them at your home instead.
