Hi! My name is Mariana — a Registered Veterinary Technician and Fear Free Certified Professional with over 12 years of experience. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with pets of all kinds, and one thing has remained consistently clear: many animals experience significant fear, anxiety, and stress when visiting a traditional veterinary clinic. The unfamiliar smells, loud noises, long car rides, and time spent away from their families can be overwhelming. That is why I founded Two Chunky Cats and a Dog, to provide compassionate, in-home care specifically for pets who need a gentler approach. Whether it’s a simple nail trim, ear cleaning, subcutaneous fluid administration or a blood draw, my goal is to create a calm, safe environment where pets can feel secure and supported — all in the comfort of their home.

        I began by serving a few select areas, but I am thrilled to share that Two Chunky Cats and a Dog is expanding! With new team members joining, we will now be offering mobile pet care throughout all of Orange County. Our services are designed with your pet’s comfort in mind — reducing stress by bringing gentle, professional care right to your doorstep. With flexible scheduling, including evenings, weekends, and holidays, we make it easy to give your pet the care they deserve.
