Pet care experience

Loving, Reliable Pet Care 🐶🐱

What sets me apart is that I don’t look at pet care as just a job—I truly treat every pet like family. ❤️ I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats for family, friends, and loved ones, and I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you can trust. I provide personalized, one-on-one attention and take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, likes, and needs. Whether I’m taking a dog for a walk, stopping in to care for a cat, or welcoming a dog into my home, my goal is always for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and happy. I’m also big on communication. I want you to feel connected while you’re away, so I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can see how your furry family member is doing. Most importantly, I know how much our pets mean to us. I’ve experienced the joy of having them as part of my family and the heartbreak of losing them, so I never take the trust someone places in me lightly. Your pet will receive the same patience, kindness, attention, and love that I would want for my own. 🐾❤️

Mari would be the best person to care for pets. She is loving and caring far all animals. She’s gentle and affectionate with her own dogs and cats.

My husband and I can’t say enough great things about Mari. Not only does she come to our home to walk our very energetic chocolate lab, but she also takes care of our three cats when she is there! Mari is extremely easy to communicate with and always sends me photos when we are gone for an extended amount of time. We have also taken our pup to Mari’s home a couple of times when we have gone out of town and we have always felt secure leaving her every time. Our animals all love Mari and we are so thrilled that we finally found someone responsible to take care of our fur babies the way we do.

I would highly recommend Mari as a caregiver for any of my furry family members. She is completely trustworthy and views animals as friends and companions. Towards them she is loving, compassionate and very protective, always putting their needs above her own. I've never seen a creature that doesn't love her.

I have never met someone who cares as much for animals as I do...until I met Mari!! The love, attention and compassionate care she gives my pets is unmatched. Her attention to detail and quality of pet care is just phenomenal and I love how much she communicates with during her visits with my fur kids. I HIGHLY RECCOMEND MARI!

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide walks, drop-in visits, and in-home pet care while still being available and attentive to the pets in my care. I’m able to build my schedule around my clients’ needs and make sure each pet receives the time, attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I enjoy having pet care as part of my routine because it gives me the opportunity to spend more time with animals and provide the personalized care and attention I would want for my own pets. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, a cat check-in, or a comfortable home away from home, I’m happy to work together to find a schedule that keeps your pet happy, comfortable, and well cared for. 🐾❤️

Safety, trust & environment

I provide personalized care based on each pet’s individual needs and the services requested. Whether your pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. When pets stay in my home, I provide a safe, welcoming, and supervised environment with plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, exercise, and affection. I also make sure they have a comfortable space to relax and follow their normal feeding and medication routines as closely as possible. For visits in a client’s home, I follow your pet’s established routine and provide everything they need, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, litter box care, playtime, and companionship. I’m respectful of your home and always make sure everything is secure before I leave. I believe communication is just as important as good pet care, so I’m happy to provide photos and updates during visits or stays. Every pet is different, and I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and needs so they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️
