Pet care experience
My family has had 2 cats and 3 dogs my whole life. We rescued strays during the winter and gave them a family with us. I have a baby (dog) of my own his name is Milo and he is my whole world. I love going on long walks. (even in the cold we can always bundle up!) I'm willing to drive them to puppy play dates, vet appointments (just need the information) or anything else you need. I understand that its hard to leave a pet at home when you are away and i understand that it is often hard to transport them! I have a dog hammock for my back seat so I am not worried about a mess if they get car sick I understand! I am not good at giving shots! I have had to have someone else do it to my pup when he needs them because I can't get myself to do it I feel like im hurting him.

Mari took great care of our pup in our home ? she updated us with so many photos and responded quickly back to us. We have a really nervous pup, and Mari accommodated well to all her needs!
Mari took such great care of my pup and sent me so many pictures and videos it barely felt like I was gone at all! Came home to a very happy pupper ?
Mari was a wonderful caregiver and was able to recognize my pets different personalities and give them each special attention based on their needs. She took care to ensure that everything was perfect. Thank you so much Mari, I was comforted by the care you gave to Callie and Kitty. You were a blessing to me!♥️
Our 3 little dogs absolutely love her. She feeds them whenever we can't be home for their feeding times and let's them outside whenever she can through out the day when we are gone. She gives them love and attention, plays games with them. The connection is unreal you'd believe they were her own babies if you saw them and didn't know better.

I understand needing frequent potty breaks or attention. If you have a specific food or bathroom schedule I will stick to it. Schedules and rules are important and I understand that. Your pet will be loved and treated as if it is family the whole time you are away. With any luck they won't even notice you left until you're back home 😊
Information Mari S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if they have any special needs or behaviors I need to account for. High energy or low energy, and whether they are okay with other dogs or not so I can plan out what to do with them. Let me know how far their usual walk is and how much time they usually spend or want to spend utside and if you'd like them to have more or less of it ? you and your dog are the bosses I'm just here to help!
A typical day
We'll play games! My dogs favorite is keep away!. Its like fetch but involves using a lot more energy! What is yours?! I love to go to the dunes In Charlevoix to go for a walk, enjoy all the new smells and maybe see some other dog walkers out there! The nature trails nearby are beautiful too!

Currently my only job is to drive my fiance to work in Traverse around 1p.m and getting him at 9p.m. I go grocery shopping on Sundays other than that it's pretty much a free schedule.
