Pet care experience

Animal lover to the core

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.

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.

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!

I highly recommend Mari as a pet caregiver. Mari has owned a few pets of her own. If you've ever meet Mari's doggies, right away you can tell they are in a loving atmosphere (home) by the way they love on you. I have had the pleasure of meeting all of her doggies and they have been such a delight. They are well behavior and listen to her every commend, feed a very balance diet, and they seem to be in good health. Her doggies are part of the family-they are even including in Holiday Christmas cards. And it's not just her doggies that she cares about, she has a real soft spot for doggies period. I know your dog will be in safe hands with Mari and your doggie will be loved and cared for her by her. Hire her, and put your heart at ease knowing that someone will do right by your dog.

Mari is amazing with all kinds of animals. She has watched my three dogs and two breaded dragons while me and my family have gone on vacation. My dogs really loved her. She would send us updates pictures of them while we was out of town. She would take them to the parks and definitely the cuddles. I would 1000% use her again and recommend her anytime. She is what you call a Disney princess with animals. Honestly you will not regret her.
