Hello my name is Mariya.
I am a life long dog and animal lover.
I have had dogs of various sizes and breeds over the years.
I presently have a beautiful small Maltese dog named Princess.
She is eight years old and is fantastic with other dogs and cats.
It is important that all dogs and cats that I look after
be friendly with other animals and up to date with necessary needles to assure all the animals are safe.
I, unfortunately, can only look after small animals because I am living in a condo.
The condo has a nice park very close that I can take the dog(s) to.
I am a professional groomer who is certified and has worked in a professional setting for several years.
I would be happy to
provide this service at a reasonable cost if needed during a stay or simply if you want a grooming.
I also offer House Stays and Home visits.
I will walk your dog for about thirty minutes at a time and will stay with your pet during a Home Visit for thirty minutes.
I will be happy to
feed your pet according to the schedule you provide but ask that you
bring your own food as animals sometimes have difficulty adjusting to
different foods.
I am presently not working outside the home so you can be assured that your pet will get lots of attention for me and my teenage son. Your pet can sleep in my room if you wish or can be crated if that is your preference during your pet's stay at my residence.
I live near Square One and would be happy to have your small pet(s) stay with me.
I would also be happy to visit your small pet(s) in your house in the Mississauga area.
I would love to work with you
to make
your pets stay or visit positive and fun.
I know that your pet(s) is / are
special to you and I will treat them with the same love I would show my own pet.
Mariya was such a wonderful pet sitter for our cat Cleo. She took notes when she came for a meet and greet and followed up with us before our trip. While we were away, she sent us pictures and messages about Cleo every day, and even tried to play with her (Cleo is old and grumpy, but she did actually play during one of the visits!). Cleo was much more affectionate than usual when we returned, which makes me think that she was happier with Mariya's company than when we've gone away before. We will definitely be seeing if Mariya is free to visit Cleo again next time we go away.
I’ve used Marina twice now and my cats love her. She takes great care for them. When she visits she is also aware of the environment and notifies me if something changed (example is my sister came over to pick up some things and Mariya let me know someone had been there at some point). She is a great addition to my pets lives and I feel relaxed leaving them in her care.
I am a professional groomer who is cetified and I have worked in the field for several years in a professional setting.
