Safety, trust & environment

I do have a fenced yard. Also, I am a runner. I can walk or jog with your pup if you’d like the exercise for them.

Information Mari S. would like to know about your pet

Is he a cuddler? Some dogs don’t like too much attention near the face or even loud noises. If there are any traumas I should know about, this will help me to be extra kind to your fur baby. Dogs appreciate when I respect their triggers. Also, any past injuries I should know of?

A typical day

I love to connect and play with dogs and they like to play with me! Some of them love cuddling and napping with me. But on walks, I like to walk with them so they can pop and Lee, and then pick up speed after if they like the exercise. I let them explore, but within safe range. I can take them to a nearby park if your choice :)

Fur babies are family too!🐶🐾🐈

Pet care experience

I love animals, I feel connected to them. Pets have been in my heart, life and home since I was 5 years old. I’ve walked dogs for friends, family and for elderly friends. Also, I substitute for my dog-sitter/walker friends on Rover when they aren’t available. I helped breed Yorkies at one point, and helped find them homes. I’ve fostered cats in the past and currently own one :)

Mari filled in for my regular sitter and I was happy! Clear communication, asked about my babies likes and dislikes. Wouldn't hesitate to hire her again.

If you’re in need of a pet sitter, look no further, Mari is your girl! A TRUE pet whisperer. I can’t think of anyone more gentle and caring to look over my fur baby. Marí helped breed Rocco and helped take care of him until she found him a loving home, I honestly believe my dog thinks she’s his mom, he cannot get enough of Marí. But I am so happy there is someone else he feels that way with when I am not there so I know he is not only in the best hands, but he is also having fun while I am gone and not missing me as he has separation anxiety. Something I don’t have to worry about when Mari is around. Thank you Mari for being you!

Mari is a great sitter. She’s looked after our pets countless of times, she truly cares for their needs and gives them all her love and attention. Even if our pets are grouchy that day, she’s patient and loving until she wins them over. Absolutely recommend her.
