Great walks talks and hugs for dogs

Pet care experience

I truely care about the happiness of dogs. I am the one who notices and gravitates towards dogs anywhere. To me dogs are like pianos i cant pass one by without playing with it or acknowledging its divine presense. I will take your dog on great walks and hikes. I love nature and I am familiar with alot of awesome places in the Bay Area. I have a large Nissan pathfinder which my dog loves and has plenty of room for urs. We explore great creeks and trails. I have experience administering meds to dogs and helpful with dogs who needs special care. I am gentle, caring and strong. I am a part time art teacher artist and substitute teacher so i have alot of flexibility with my days. I am responsible and very dependable. I have a dog myself and hope i would find someone like me to take care of my precious little love while i was away. I have been lucky actually. 2 of my dearest friends are my own dogs daycare providers when i work. Happy to take on housesitting/petsitting overnight jobs although i would be accompanied by my dog on those gigs. Hes a shihtzu-maltese very friendly. Meet and greet with ur pets prior to introduce and see how they get along.

Mari was great and took good care of my kitties. She jumped in last minute after someone else cancelled and was very flexible with picking up keys, times of day to visit, etc. I'd definitely recommend her and would absolutely book her again.

Mari helped me out in a pinch when our previous pet care fell through. We were so happy she did! Both of our cats were well taken care of and she was great about keeping us informed on how things were going. And when one of our cats got sick on our bedspread, she made sure to soak the cover so the stain didn't set. We'll definitely be contacting Mari next time our cats need someone to watch after them. - Rob

Mari was excellent! She took my two dogs for lots of walks, gave them tons of love, and took great care of the house as well. When we returned from a week away, the dogs looked happy and the house was just as we had left it. She texted me pictures and updates every day, and even left a cute 'welcome home' note. Mari is trustworthy and reliable.

I have used Mari P. Multiple times to care for my dogs over the years . I have always felt at ease with Mari as she has cared for my beloved pets as her own . I have recommended Mari to several people who have been pleased with her work and have thanked me for telling them and now use her as well. Aimee S.
