Hola besties, I’m Mariella, the owner and dog walker behind Furever Besties. I believe every dog deserves a daily walk to stay healthy and happy. For over two years I volunteered as a dog walker at a no-kill shelter, working with dogs of every shape, size, breed and temperament. I let dogs sniff the world around them. It helps them regulate their emotions and keeps them content on their walks.

I started Furever Besties after a pet-sitting app sitter lost my own dog, Beethoven, and barely looked for him. That night taught me that not everyone treats your pet with the heart you would. So I became Red Cross certified in cat and dog first aid, got fully insured, and built the kind of care I’d want for my own two rescue pups.
