“Hannah was great!!! She walked our dog Mellie to her daycare on such short notice and at a very early time in the morning. Thanks again Hannah.”

“I will definitely re-book. Tia was amazing and very prompt. She gives a complete break down of what her and my dog did on the walk. I have never seen that before. That alone was a big plus. I loved all the pictures that I received each time she came by to walk my dog. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. She is great!!!”

“Laura was so good with my 1 year old lab She sent pictures and let me know how he did on his walk. She also was kind enough to let my old lab out in the back yard I would recommend her to walk anyones pups. I have already rebooked.”

About: Hi, I’m Mari! 🐾 I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud fur mom to one very loved pup and two spoiled kitties. Caring for animals has been a huge part of my life for more than 15 years. Over the years, I’ve cared for the pets of neighbors, family, friends, and coworkers, and I’m excited to finally bring that experience to Rover and connect with even more pet parents and their furry family members. I’ve had the privilege of caring for dogs and cats at every stage of life, from young puppies and kittens to senior pets. I’ve raised my own dog, Lennox, since he was just two months old, and I’ve had my youngest kitten since he was two months old as well. I’ve also cared for several beloved family pets well into their senior years, including pets 12+ years old who required medications, specific routines, and a little extra attention. I understand how important it is to follow a pet’s routine exactly as their parents have established it, especially when it comes to feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and other individual needs. As a pet parent myself, I know that every animal has their own personality, quirks, routines, and specific needs. I’m naturally very attentive and detail-oriented when it comes to my own pets, and I bring that same level of care to every animal I look after. I also have experience with medium-sized breeds and dogs who may be reactive, nervous, or need a little extra patience and understanding. I know that not every pet is comfortable with the same things, and I’m happy to take the time to learn what makes each individual pet feel safe and comfortable. One of the things I pride myself on most is communication. I know how difficult it can be to leave your babies with someone else, so I want you to feel just as comfortable and informed as your pet is. I love sending regular updates, pictures, and little check-ins throughout the day so you never have to wonder how your furry family member is doing. I’m also happy to follow detailed instructions and routines because I understand that consistency is important for pets. I’m currently a Civil Engineer going through a career change, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I’m happy to work with busy schedules and do my best to accommodate the needs of both you and your pet. I’m also currently working toward obtaining my Pet CPR certification because I want to be as prepared and knowledgeable as possible should an emergency ever arise. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities, and I’m always happy to provide any additional information, references, or details that would help you feel comfortable choosing me to care for your pet. At the end of the day, I know how much our pets mean to us because mine mean the world to me. My goal is to give your pets the same patience, attention, affection, and care that I would want someone to give mine. ❤️🐶🐱 Pet care fits really naturally into my schedule right now. I’m currently in a flexible stage of my career as I transition out of civil engineering, which allows me to have more control over my time and availability. Because of that, I’m able to plan my days around pet care visits, walks, feedings, and check-ins without feeling rushed or overbooked. I’m happy to adjust my routine to match your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible. Whether it’s early potty breaks, consistent feeding times, or evening walks and cuddle time, I can be there when your pet needs me most. Since I’m not tied to a strict 9–5 work schedule, I also have the flexibility to accommodate last-minute requests when possible and provide reliable care during weekdays, weekends, and some holidays. I make it a priority to only take on bookings that I can fully commit to, so your pet always gets my full attention and care. At the end of the day, I can structure my schedule around the pets I’m caring for, because making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and consistent in their routine is my top priority. 🐾 I currently provide care in my clients’ homes so their pets can remain in the environment they already know and feel comfortable in. I’m happy to follow their established routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, crating, bedtime routines, and puppy potty schedules. I also have experience with puppy training and can help reinforce consistent potty-training routines while you’re away. I’m very attentive to safety and will make sure doors, gates, crates, and other areas are properly secured, especially when entering or leaving the home. I’ll take the time to understand each pet’s personality, triggers, and boundaries so I can provide care that is safe and comfortable for them. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions and adjust to whatever routine works best for each pet. My goal is to keep their day as consistent as possible while giving their parents peace of mind through regular updates and communication.

“Elizabeth was awesome. Good communication would definitely book her again.”

“Corina was wonderful with Rex! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of him during his walk. I really appreciated her prompt response. I could tell Rex was happy and well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing he’s in good hands. Thank you, Corina we’ll definitely be booking with you again!”

Vanessa N.

“Kelly is so reliable and responsible, and she is kind to our dogs She is very good with communication. We really appreciate her availability on a holiday.”

Celeste C.

“I booked Karina again this week for dog walking, and I am genuinely impressed. Princess, who is usually very shy and slow to trust, bonded with her so much faster this time, and everything went incredibly smoothly. Seeing that level of progress in such a short time really speaks to Karina’s patience, experience, and calm approach. She clearly understands how to work with nervous dogs and builds trust in a very thoughtful and respectful way. It gives me a lot of confidence and peace of mind knowing Princess is with someone so capable. I will definitely continue booking her on a regular basis and highly recommend her to anyone, especially if you have a shy or anxious dog.”

About: Pet sitting, dog walking, and administering medication to senior dogs or reptiles is nothing new to me! While I’ve only been professionally pet sitting for a few years, I’ve cared for everything from dogs to birds to arachnids for more than 7 years. My love for animals extends beyond a leash and a few “good boy”s! Having a pet by your side is a true blessing, and an absolute privilege to have. When your pet is booked with me, I will ensure to provide the utmost care and respect to you and your pet/s and give them the time they deserve. No rushing, no half-assing, and no “easy money” from me. My promise to you: your pet will be loved and cared like no other! Im able to pet sit, walk, or drop in Monday through Sunday from 8am - 6pm! Although if needed, we can discuss specific scheduling, depending on service! Three day limit on pet sitting, but if needed may also be discussed. When visiting the owners home, I stay within the boundaries of the owner and the pet. I only do what is necessary and what will keep the client and the pet the happiest they can be! Unable to board pets, unless they are in an enclosure( bird, reptile ) due to one of my own dogs reactivity to other adult dogs when on personal property.
