Safety, trust & environment

I play with dogs, I can teach new commands if you want, I walk them with full attention to them, I love to feed them and give all useful needed treats, usually I also brush them and try to give them what they use to have with their owners. We can go to dog park if they like it or vise versa to walk avoiding connection with other dogs if it needs. I can give them their medication in specific time) And of course I love them, I think that it’s very important for dogs as for people. My behavior is different with all dogs, because all of them have their own character and favorite/unloved things and their safety and comfort are on the first place for me.

Information Mari G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. I love all dogs and take care about any well behavior dog💛

A typical day

Every dog is different and they prefer different things, I love to see happy doggies, so I love to do with them their favorite activities. I play with them and their toys, we snuggle, I speak with dogs, I give them their ball Also they play with other dogs in the park if it’s allowed

Dog lover in right way❤️

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with dogs and cats and have been caring for pets of friends and family for many years. For over 2 years in the U.S., I’ve been doing house sitting and dog walking, and I truly value the trust owners place in me when they leave their home and pets in my care. I have experience with a wide range of breeds, from small companion dogs to large, active breeds, as well as mixed breeds. I’m attentive to routines, feeding schedules, walks, and individual personalities. I understand how important it is for pets to feel calm, safe, and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m very mindful of cleanliness, order, and respecting the home as if it were my own. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and building a calm, trusting connection with them❤️ My goal is to build a trusting connection where both pets and owners feel relaxed and confident. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends!

Mari was amazing! My puppy was in good hands for a few hours, and she came so quickly, which helped me a lot. Thank you!

This was our second time booking with Mari, and she did a great job with our two dogs. She’s very quick to respond, which made coordination easy and kept us from worrying while we were away. Mari sent consistent photo updates, kept the house clean, and our dogs were clearly very comfortable with her. It’s a huge relief to have a sitter we can fully trust. We’ll definitely be booking with her again.
