Safety, trust & environment
I maintain a clean, cat-friendly home free of any potential hazards to your pet. They will have my full attention, with no other pets or people but me in the space. I am happy to take into account your cat’s individual quirks and preferences as to what needs to be done to make them safe and happy here. The neighborhood is safe, friendly, quiet, and well-located to pet hospitals in case of emergencies. Apologies, but due to space limitations and no yard, I am unable to accommodate dogs in my home.

Information Mari V. would like to know about your pet
If your pet has any special care needs or quirks, I am happy to adapt to them as needed, just let me know! I am able to accommodate all kinds of visits, except for dogs staying in my own home due to space constraints. Cats are welcome.
A typical day
Your pet is the boss! Whether your pet loves toys or long walks or cuddles, or just lazing by the window, I’m happy to follow their lead. No matter their pastime of choice, I love taking pet photos, so you can be sure I’ll send you all the photo and video updates you desire while you’re away.

Pet care experience
I’m a life-long animal lover of all stripes. I have a knack for connecting with pets of all temperaments and helping them feel safe and at home. I have cared for a variety of my own pets since youth, but have been pet sitting for others for the past 7 years. I have special experience with senior cats and dogs, including administering medications and navigating special needs. Whether you’re looking for drop in visits where time is spent meaningfully with your kitty or puppy, or overnight stays in your home, I have experience with both and will also treat your space with respect. I know pets are family, and can’t wait to befriend yours!

Reviews
Mari is fantastic and clearly a cat lover - and understands cats! When she came to meet Busy for the first time, she took all the time needed to bond with my kitty and ask all questions about her care. During her time with Busy, I received the cutest photos and videos showing my kitty super comfortable, getting all her play time, and cozying up for naps every day during her stay. Mari also maintained my apartment extremely well and I’m very thankful for that! I am so happy Mari is now in our lives and I wouldn’t think twice before booking her again!
Mitchie settled in quickly and felt right at home with Mari. Mari is a great communicator, and it’s clear they’re a real cat lover. I really appreciated the updates and photos throughout my trip, which made it easy to relax knowing Mitchie was in good hands. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be booking with Mari again for future trips.
Mari is such a pleasant person to be around. She understood exactly what it takes to care for an older cat with health conditions like our Ziggy. I really appreciated the level of enthusiasm, attentiveness, and experience she brought, even with a long list of medications and feeding instructions. It’s clear that she genuinely cares deeply about both the animals and the people who love them.
Mari is the best cat sitter EVER. Over the years Mari has catsat for me and my senior kitty multiple times for various short-term and long-term needs. I always know my cat is in the most reliable and caring hands! Mari is passionate about cats and is so thoughtful about each cat’s unique needs, and understands that each cat has their own rhythms and routines that they need to thrive. Mari is always so attentive to the details. I would recommend Mari to anyone looking for an EXPERT cat sitter and cat lover!
