EAMT & Animal Massage Therapist
Pet care experience
I am a certified Emergency Animal Medical Technician, trained in caring for animals in dire situations. Qualified in administering medication needed and the ability to think and react quickly. Also went to school to become a certified Animal Massage Therapist. Animals with hip dysplasia are my specialty. My Neo Mastiff is the reason I am certified. My happy place and passion is animals. I have been rescuing animals in the South Phoenix area for years. Have rescued just about 300, dogs, cats, birds and even a tortoise. I also have the privilege in taking animals to work with me from time to time. Which is definitely an added bonus since I have 6 animals of my own! If I sit yours, they can come to work with me also!

Mari is great! Dependable, loves the pups and they love her!
Mari is amazing!! I started looking at Rover when my dog sitter I usually used was not available. I have a wonderful special needs senior pup, a very loving older pit and a spastic, high energy, but lovable granddog, so I knew that whomever I found was going to have to be special. I looked for weeks and came across Mari. I knew I needed to find just the right person to take care of them while we were gone, and she seemed to fit the bill. I contacted her and set up a meet and greet and instantly loved her. Now the test would come on if she could handle my 80 lb baby who due to hip diplasia is no longer able to walk on his own. Several months before we were set to leave I had Mari do weekly drop in visits to get to know the pups and a relationship was formed. When the time came to leave for vacation, there were no hesitations, because I knew I was leaving them with someone who lovingly cared for them as if they were her own...and I was not disappointed! I got daily texts and pictures and I was able to enjoy my vacation with no worries, thank you Mari!!!
Mari is Awesome!
Mari, has been watching my dogs for over 6 years. She's not just your average sitter, she truly loves my dogs and cat. She sends me daily pictures when she watches them. She actually stays and plays with them when all I ask for is feeding and walking. She's constantly bringing them toys and treats because they love to play. I couldn't ask for a better person to watch my animals. You're in good hands with Mari.
