Safety, trust & environment

My residence features a fenced yard, providing a secure environment for my five pets. I diligently supervise them, limiting their time alone to brief intervals. We participate in regular walks, adjusted according to weather conditions. I prioritize their comfort, avoiding walks in extreme temperatures and taking measures to protect them from the elements.

Please inform me of any special needs, dietary requirements, or behaviors your dog may have, so I can accommodate them accordingly. Your dog's needs are a priority to me, and I appreciate your disclosure.

Pets

Animal lover to the core

Pet care experience

With a deep passion for animal welfare, I have developed a lifelong affinity for dogs. My household has always included at least one dog, and I have gained extensive experience in caring for them throughout my adult life. My children, now adults, grew up in dog-friendly households and have continued this tradition with their own families. I strongly believe that a home is incomplete without the companionship of a four-legged friend. I am well-versed in handling various breeds and sizes of dogs. Your dog and I will enjoy exploring the neighborhood together, discovering new sights and smells. On occasion, we may visit our local Starbucks for a pup cup treat, with your prior approval. We may also take a stroll through the nearby park, weather permitting. I understand the importance of providing dogs with opportunities to experience new environments and sensations. My ultimate goal is to ensure that your dog remains comfortable and stress-free at all times. Please feel free to contact me to schedule a meet and greet.

Mari did absolutely amazing job with my Bella. We were gone 13 days and I got constant updates and pictures. Bella was treated as Mari,s own baby. Bella had no issues or accidents. Our house was left spotless as well. I can't thank Mari enough for a marvelous job she did. I felt like a relative was staying with my Bella. Mari cares for animals as her own children. I highly recommend her services to all dog parents. 🐕

Ms.Mari is a wonderful pet caregiver. She looks after them like her own. Anything you need she doesn’t only do that, but goes above and beyond. She loves what she does and you are able to see that with results that are shown and your pets positive attitude afterwards! Literally no complaints whatsoever.

Mari is a true pet lover. The time, care, love, patience, and attention she provides is exceptional. My four legged boy, Leo loves her. He took to her immediately. She walks him several times a day. She makes sure he gets his medicine daily. She ensures that he feels comfortable, loved, and protected. Mari has been watching Leo for months now. She is my go to person anytime I need to leave him. He knows when it's time to see her, he gets excited. I know that he is in good hands. I can't say enough about how happy I am that Leo is well taken care of.

Mari was very loving and patient with my puppy. We just got him so this was a learning experience for both of us. She even gave me some tips on keeping him on schedule and training. I will definitely use her again!
