Hi, my name is Mari! I have 12 years of experience caring for dogs and taken training classes on properly engaging with dogs. I am great on walks; I’m patient with dogs that like to sniff everything and can match the high energy of dogs that need to go on long walks. Most importantly, I would keep your dog safe on walks and in my care by staying aware at all times. My skills include knowing commands, leash handling, understanding dog & cat emotional cues, and most importantly how to have fun with pets! I have dog sat other dogs for family and friends and my calm & patient personality has helped build a bond with even the most scared pups. I also am great with cats and have 5 years of experience caring for them. My gentle energy allows me to build trust with nonchalant cats and kitties that like to keep to themselves. I love playing games with pets and always make sure everyone is having fun. While you are away, you can be sure they won't be lonely under my care :)
