Pet care experience

Trustworthy and dependable

With 26 years of experience caring for animals, including 24 years as a veterinary technician, I am passionate about providing high-quality pet care. My background includes working in emergency clinics and general practices, and I now focus on pet sitting full-time. I am skilled in administering both oral and injectable medications, and I have experience with rescue animals and various behavioral issues, from shy pets to those with aggressive tendencies. I have my own transportation and offer overnight stays at your home, during which I can also take care of additional tasks like picking up mail, watering plants, and taking out the garbage.

Mari is wonderful! She has a true passion for animals and they seem to know that. My dogs absolutely love her. She is very reliable and it’s a plus that she is a vet tech because I know she can handle anything that could arise. I would trust her with my own pets anytime.

I’ve known Mari for years and she is always the first person I contact when I has an issue with my pets. She is caring a knowledgeable and trustworthy. I know she has been a vet tech for decades and her experience shows. She volunteers with motherless puppies and many animal rescue groups. She has taken great care of my two dogs and ferret.

Safety, trust & environment

I possess extensive experience in providing in-home pet care, having worked as a full-time pet sitter for three years and part-time for over 20 years. Additionally, I have managed the needs of pets with medical or behavioral challenges.

Pets

A typical day

I love taking them on long walks to help them burn off some of that extra energy, so they can chill out when we get back home. Playing their favorite games, like fetch and tug, is always a blast and keeps them entertained with their toys.

Knowing about any medications or previous illnesses and behavior concerns with your pets would be great. It’s always good to be prepared for any unexpected situations.
