Safety, trust & environment

If you ask me to crate your dog when I leave the house, I will do just that. Usually a list is left so I know just what your furry baby or babies need, rather it be for treats or care. I will keep to their feeding schedule and potty schedule, as well as their sleep schedule. Always remembering to give them lots of love and affection!

Information Mariela F. would like to know about your pet

If your pet needs any special care, let me know ahead of time so I can prepare for it. I am alright with giving them medicine and treating them for anything that might happen, every animal deserves love! No matter what situation and age they might be in!!

A typical day

I’ll play with them, pet them, relax with them, I’d love to take them for walks if that’s what they like to do. If there is a dog park near by, I’ll take them to that and see them run around, even give them treats every now and then but not too many. Give them many many belly rubs!

Pet care experience

I have never been without animals, immediately family, extended family, while I was growing up I have been around dogs. I have dog sat, cat sat, and even stayed at their house to give the animals company as they need it!

Mari helped us with a drop-in visit with less than a weeks notice. She was great with our dog, who can be nervous of new people. Mari didn’t push our pooch beyond what she wanted to do, and we felt very appreciative knowing she was looking in on her while we were away for the day. I would highly recommend her.

Mari stayed the week with our dogs and did a great job caring for them. They loved having her around all week.
