Pet care experience
Ur Pets R Home -- Even When Ur Not
My phone screen says it all, it's a photo of my dog, the first thing I see every morning and the face I look forward to coming home to. That love is exactly what I bring to every pet I care for. For 15 years, friends and family have trusted me with their pets during vacations, emergencies, and everything in between. And they can count on me every time. I know that when an owner steps away, their pet feels it. Dogs pick up on absence, and I'm patient enough to sit with that, calm enough to reassure them, and attentive enough to know what they need in the moment...whether that's extra cuddles, a familiar routine, or just a steady, loving presence. What sets me apart isn't just experience. It's that I genuinely care. Your pet won't just be looked after, they will feel it.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I trust Mari with my life, so I obviously I would trust Mari with my animals! Mari took care of my three 90lb+ dogs a plethora of times. She took care of them when they were young and energetic and when they were old and need a bit of patience and extra care. Mari is very good at following instructions and can be counted on to come through. Most importantly she understands the love you have for your pets and shows the same amount to them.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
One of the best things about my schedule right now is the flexibility. Working part time means I can shape my days around the pets in my care, whether that's an early morning walk, staying close during those first anxious hours after an owner leaves, or simply being home and present. Your pet won't spend the day waiting. They'll spend it with someone who's actually there.

Safety, trust & environment
From the moment a pet enters my care, their comfort and safety come first. I live alone, which means no unexpected chaos — just a calm, peaceful space where pets can truly relax and settle in. My big backyard gives dogs plenty of room to run, explore, and burn off energy in a safe and secure environment. I know that the first hours without their owner can be the hardest, so I stay close, keep routines consistent, and pay attention to the little signals that tell me how a pet is really feeling. Trust isn't built in a day, but 15 years of caring for friends' and family's pets has taught me how to earn it quickly. From the animals and their owners. I keep communication open, sending updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and loved. My flexible schedule means I'm never rushing out the door — your pet has my time and my full attention. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, my approach stays the same: treat every animal the way I'd want my own dog treated — with patience, consistency, and genuine love.
