Happy walks, play & fun!🐾🙂

Pet care experience

Hello there! I am a friendly, communicative, and responsible dog lover who works from home. I have a decade of experience caring for my friends' and clients' dogs throughout the years, which includes pups of different breeds, ages, and sizes (for now up to 40 lbs). I live in a brownstone with two parks nearby and lots of pretty, walkable streets! I share my home with one friendly, snuffling, small French Bulldog (20 lbs). All dogs that visit must be friendly with other dogs, potty-trained, and walk well on a leash. This way, both will have so much fun. NOTE: I cannot sit dogs over 30 lbs given my dog’s size. During your pup's stay, I will look after them with loving care, many pats, playtime, fetch, tug of war, nap time, and walks! I can adapt to most care routines that you need (play, feed, sleep, walk), including potty breaks and medication administration. My neighborhood is very dog-friendly and safe with plenty of sidewalks, fire hydrants, and telephone poles to sniff and explore. My communication style is courteous, frank, timely, and professional. I wish both you and your pup to be happy, which means providing the best care possible while looking after him/her. For my new pups, I would love to say hi to you and your owner at a local/ public area, such as outside a restaurant/cafe or near a park. I look forward to meeting you both soon.

Happy had such an exciting and fun time with Mari! She is very caring and loving ❤️. Happy had so many belly rubs and pats from Mari. She sent many photos including of their nice scenic walks, playful dog park time, and meeting lots of furry friends:). Would absolutely have Happy stay with Mari again!

We’re so glad Mari is back again on Rover as she was away for a while! She is the sweetest dog sitter our family has worked with, sends tons of photos, administers daily meds, lots of play time, and follows our instructions to the “tee”. Logan loves staying with her, always sad when he has to go! Thank you!

Mari is just amazing with dogs. My 2 year old bulldog Benji loved her and was so active and happy compared to his usual self! She is attentive, quick to respond, and sent me frequent messages and photos so I felt like I was actually with Benji the whole day. Mari is very friendly and courteous. She goes out of her way to make us happy. Would recommend her to anyone- Benji definitely will be visiting her again!

A typical day

We will walk around the neighborhood at a leisurely stroll or even a brisk trot, on the lookout for pesky squirrels and evil mailmen. Maybe we will even be lucky and spy a drone to follow! At home, playtime (plushies), nap time, and food/ snacks will follow.
