Pet care experience
🐈⬛ Cat-only professional sitter
Cat only, cat expert! No two cats or owners are the same - that's why I focus on you and your cat as individuals. ABOUT ME I'm a trained fosterer at San Diego Humane Society, fostering and rehabilitating rescue cats. I am the proud pet-mom to Morpheus "Mo", a rescue from hoarding who is the light of my life. I have more than 10 years of cat enrichment experience, ranging from scaredy-cats to lovebugs. ABOUT YOU You love your cat and want to know they're in the best possible hands. WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT I care for cats exclusively. I take pride in paying close attention to each kitten's body language, personality, and preferences. I spend the entirety of every drop-in with your pet. Your cat loves to play? -- Me too! We'll run around until they're tired Shy guy? -- I know how to sit back and let your cat come to me, on their terms Social kitty? -- I'm happy to provide pets or a warm place to nap. I'll take care of your cat with the same attention I give my own. Really.

Safety, trust & environment
I give every kitten I care for my full attention. I use a personal checklist on arriving and leaving to ensure your pet's needs are met and they are happy and safe. I feel satisfied when I know my clients can rest easy knowing their furry friends are in safe hands. I'm communicative, quick to reply, and great at following any special instructions for your cat's care.
Ratings and reviews
Mari is a fantastic cat sitter. Always consistently communicating and clearly understands our cat very well - following her lead and giving her lots of love. Would highly recommend Mari to anyone looking for a great cat sitter.
We have had Mari care for our cats many times at this point and she has continued to be a great fit!
Second time having Mari drop in to care for our 14 yr old kitty bud. She’s thorough, loves Leon and gives lots of love and attention to our kitty. Love her. Highly recommend:)
Mari was once again excellent with our two cats. She paid attention to both their dietary and play preferences, adapting her care based on their needs.
Mari took great care of my little girl. Very patient, communicative, and understanding of cats.
The best cat sitter!! Made us feel so happy to see our little guy warm up to her over the week! Mari does an amazing job and we are so thankful she watches Bento for us every time we leave town.

Schedule
I work with cats because I like cats - not because I'm in a hurry. I spend every minute of drop ins caring for your cat like my own. If your cat wants my attention, they'll have it, whether they want to chase a "bird" toy or snuggle on the couch. If your beloved pet is shy, I'm happy to sit back and let them approach me. If they enjoy a human voice, I'll read, sing, or chat with them. Seriously - it's about what you and your cat want I'm a UCSD graduate student, so my schedule allows a great deal of flexibility. I’m happy to accommodate time preferences as needed, so your cat can stick to their routine.
