We started looking for someone to take care of our diabetic cat and we found Mariana. Even without experience with a diabetic cat, Mariana always showed availability to learn how to take care of such cat. I need to say that she was amazing. Our cat was super happy with her! She sent photos and videos every day. We felt that our cat was feeling alone and she even worked from our house to spend more time with our cat. I just have good things to say about Mariana and if you're thinking if you should choose Mariana or not I can tell you, you can!

Mariana has sat for us several times now and it's always a pleasure. Great updates, easy to arrange! We know the pups are in capable hands!

Our dog had a great stay with Mari. It was nice to get some photos during the day and we could tell that our dog was treated greatly.

Pet sitter Dogs & Cats in Utrecht

I am a Portuguese expat who moved to Utrecht over a year ago! I love pets since I remember and throughout life was lucky to have multiple types of pets, from dogs, cats, birds and even a small turtle. My biggest companion was a lovely golden retriever and since then I fell in love with the breed.
I also used to have two beautiful lady cats, the sweetest souls! Since then, I have a lot of love to give to furry friends needing company or care!

I can give medication (solid or liquid), wound care, grooming and claw clipping (cats).

I will onboard a maximum of 2 dogs (from the same household), and maximum 3 pets (dogs and cats).

Let me know your drop off and pickup preference.

*Daycare*: I can do 2 walks per day of 20-30 mins.

*Onboarding*: A longer walk at the end of the day is also possible (40min-1h).

*Day care at your place*: i only do day care at your place in very specific situations, feel free to reach out to know more.

I work mostly from home (Tuesdays at the office), so I spend the day in my place. I can easily work from other places, so I can also house sitting during the week as long as you have a good internet connection.

I allow pets in my furniture (sofa and bed). They can sleep wherever they prefer in the house. I have no other pets and I don’t share my house. My 1 bedroom apartment has a lovely big balcony facing west, with a tall glass fence where your dogs can safely get some fresh air and check what goes around in the neighbourhood.

I also am a plant momma, so rest assured I will easily spot if your plants are not happy.

About me: I am learning to speak Dutch, which hopefully will not be a bummer for my furry fellows. I am a consultant with background in bioengineering. I practice CrossFit.
