About Me: I'm a veteran, wife, student, mother of 3 kids: 13, 7, and 2 years old. I am currently in my virtual graduate program (Master’s of Social Work) so I spend a lot of time at home. I've grown up with dogs in my family and have been around dogs all my life, so loving fur babies comes easy. I've been dog sitting for close friends and family for years. I have experience with easy going to temperamental type of dogs, small and larger size dogs, newborn puppies to senior dogs, etc. Our Pup: Dachshund male: Ollie (3 years old). He is playful and friendly. He gets a long with most dogs that have the same temperament as him. He loves company and to just hang out, lay around, etc. He is fixed and up to date on shots. Our Home: We live in a house with a nice fenced in yard. We have extra kennel for pups who are kennel trained and loads of toys and treats on hand. Our family and our pup Ollie are friendly and welcoming. We are looking forward to meeting you and your sweet pup(s)!

Mari was fantastic! She sent lots of updates for my pup and it looked like she had lots of fun. Her communication was on point and I highly reccomend her to take care of your fur babies.

Dolly had a great time with Mari and Ollie (her doggie baby). She is truly an incredible baby sitter. She was first rate in care and sent us photos of her throughout our trip. Will definitely use her again ?❤️?

Mari, was amazing with my Bella. She provided photos during the stay and continually communicated during Bella's stay. She even called one day to ask if she could bath her along with her dog. I would gladly use her again.

Mari was very courteous and cared for our Skye with the utmost of kindness. We appreciated all the pictures and updates she provided. She made us feel at ease knowing Skye was receiving the best possible care. We will definitely use her services again.

We left Rocco with Mari for a few days while we were out of town and she was really great with him. She made sure he felt comfortable and she kept me updated on how he was doing. She made me feel at ease that he was in good hands and I would def use her again in the future!

Schedule

My Schedule: I am available to care for your pet(s) every day of the week with exception of when I am away for any appointments or quick errands. If I need to step out, your pet will be kenneled for their own safety. Other than that, I am home when I am caring for your pet with my family. Rest assured that they will be loved and played with while they are visiting our home. During your pet(s) stay: - Potty breaks every 0-2 hours - Playtime is continuous - Walk(s) 1 - 2 times a day (depending on stay and of course weather permitting) - Feeding according to your feeding schedule - Bedtime 8-9pm - Kenneled upon request or if not home for their own safety - Administering of medications if needed - Bathing if necessary (accidents happen!) - Love, patience, cuddles
