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. I know that when an owner steps away, their pet feels it. 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
Mari was an incredible caretaker for our dog Marley! Not only did Marley get spoiled rotten she was loved, cared for and treated like family. Mari sent lots of photos and videos during her stay. She did not hesitate to reach out with questions and concerns in a timely matter. I would absolutely trust her to take care of my pet again.
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.

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.

Home characteristics
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 space where pets can relax and settle in. My big backyard gives dogs plenty of room to run and explore safely, and my flexible schedule means I'm never rushing out the door. Your pet has my time and full attention. Trust is everything. Fifteen 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 with regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and loved. Whether I'm in my home or yours, my approach never changes: treat every animal exactly the way I'd want my own dog treated.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day includes a morning walk, plenty of backyard time to run and just be a dog, midday play sessions, and cuddle breaks in between. With my flexible schedule, I'm home and present throughout the day. I pay close attention to each animal's personality and energy level. Some dogs want to chase and fetch, others just want to stay close and be loved on and I'm happy either way. Through it all, every pet feels safe, stimulated, and genuinely cared for.
