Mari is an excellent person and caregiver, especially for dogs. She has spent years being the primary caregiver of the dogs in her family, scheduling and taking them to vet appointments, administering their medication, walking them, potty training, even studying their body language and behavior patterns to ease their anxiety and improve their overall wellbeing. She is always hunting for the healthiest and best food that matches their specific criteria/conditions, finding safe remedies and products for things like skin conditions and ear cleaning, etc. There isn't another person in the world that I would go to before her if I needed someone to care for and/or watch any of my animals, especially dogs! She is especially good with anxious dogs, too. I have never seen her interact with a dog and them not prefer her over anyone else in the room - even my own!
