Pet care experience

As a long time pet owner & sitter of dogs, cats & birds, I am a total animal lover & would care for your pet as if they were my own. I am a very warm person with a calm personality & energy. Pets are naturally drawn to me & can feel that I am sincere in my love for them. I love the outdoors & like to hike, walking on the coastal trails & beach or just playing in the surf & sand! Home time is great, just bonding & snuggling! I am keen about routines & would cater to your pets schedule, needs & any medications (Rate TBD depending on degree of difficulty). I am open to providing custom home cooked or raw food meals if there is a restricted/custom diet. I am happy to care for your pets at your home, hotel or vacation rental. I offer one on one Daycare by the Hour at your home, hotel or vacation rental. Daycare rate is TBD. I offer daily walks or check-ins on a weekly basis as well as overnight care. Constant Care is available by arrangement & rate TBD. I only provide services in your home, hotel or vacation rental. All walks are leashed and/or harnessed. Treats, water & First Aid are always on hand!

I feel so fortunate to find Mari. Mari took great care of our four collies, from young to senior. She is excellent in communication, very trustworthy and competent. I will not hesitate to reach out to her for future dog and house sitting needs and recommend her without reservation. It was such a blessing, while out of town, to know our four dogs were in good hands.

We loved having Mari watch our pup. Her calm, peaceful nature was exactly what I look for when leaving my doggo with someone new. If I lived here, I would not hesitate to have her come on a regular basis. Perfect! Thanks Mari 🐶

Second time having Mari watch our dog and she was just as amazing as before! If you’re looking for someone who you can trust while you’re away from home, I highly recommend Mari!

Mari is amazing! Watched our sweet boy over the holidays and we couldn’t be more grateful. She was quick to reply, is super caring, was in constant communication (daily photos), and took great care of our dog/home while we were away. Highly recommend!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
