Highlights
Pet care experience
PAWS and smell the Flowers!🌿🌸🌿🐾
I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember (I’ve been sneaking animals in my home since I was in diapers😌), and being around them truly makes me happiest. I’m incredibly empathetic toward animals (I don’t even kill bugs!), so every pet in my care is treated with gentleness, patience, and genuine love. The dogs in my photos are my beloved old pups (Milo the Golden Retriever and Yoshi the Shih Tzu) Milo was 8wks when I got him and Yoshi was 5wks — I don’t currently have any dogs, but I do have two friendly cats at home. Lucy my tiny little black cat🖤 and Foggy my orange menace 🧡 (both rescues) I have hands-on experience caring for and training my own dogs over the years, from large breeds like Dobermans to small breeds like Shih Tzus. I’ve also had cats my entire life so growing up half my cats were kitties I found, some even needing bottle feeding. I'm comfortable with all things feline — from playful kittens to independent seniors. Beyond dogs and cats, I’ve cared for chickens, birds, and many other kinds of pets throughout my life. I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. With me, your pet won’t just be watched — they’ll be cared for like family. 💛

Ratings and reviews
My dog instantly connected with Mari and gets so excited when she comes over for weekly walks. Mari is personable and communicates well. She always tracks and takes at least one photo while out and about. I would recommend her 100%.

Nice lady, good communication, good with my pup!

Maricarmen sent me lots of pictures, I could tell my dog had a great time when I picked her up! Thank you for taking care of my little girl

Extremely kind and friendly

Mari is a true animal lover. I left my dachshund and boxer retriever in her care for 2 weeks while i was out of the country and i received consistent updates about my babies while i was gone. She ensured that my babies routine was not disrupted while i was out of town, and exercised them and stayed to their schedule. I will absolutely use her again when I’m needing a sitter.
Mari is a wonderful dog sitter, she took care of my two pups for a few days while I was out of town. One with severe separation anxiety, she was patient and very comforting to him. Mari has a love for animals like I have never seen, she truly cares about them. She's super friendly and easy to work with! She will take care of your pets as if they are her own, so trustworthy and reliable. She sent me constant updates on my dogs and was always just a message away. She is highly recommended for all your pet sitting needs!

Schedule
Haaay! 🌾 *ba-dum tss* As you see being a stand up comedian wasn’t my calling so here I am 🥲 My name is way too long so I just go by Mari I’m a stay-at-home mom with lots of free time and even more love to give your fur babies! I’m not a regular mom, I’m a cool mom! 😎 I currently live in Vancouver, Being home most of the day means I can give your pet plenty of attention, care, and one-on-one time. I’m available for walks and drop-ins on weekdays from 7am–4pm and Sundays from 7am–1pm, with flexibility whenever possible to help fit your schedule (I remember how hard it was finding help when I had my pups and ended up taking them to work with me) Whether your pet needs a fun walk, playtime, a potty break, or extra cuddles, I’m always happy to help! We will spend much time out exploring, enjoying fresh air, getting in plenty of movement and mental stimulation. Walks, sniff breaks, and outdoor adventures are very important to me in order to keep a pup happy and healthy! I’d love to be your fur baby’s (and yours!) new friend and help make their day (also yours!😌) a little brighter!✨🐾🩷
