I work 4 days on, 4 days off schedule, which lows me to dedicate four full days at a time to pet care, including walking, training, boarding, house sitting, and drop ins. During these days off, I am able to offer a high level of flexibility and accommodate schedule adjustments. If services are required in days I am working, I'm always happy to discuss and arrange a care plan that supports both your needs and mine in a comfortable and reliable way.

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and welcoming environment for every pet in my care, whether in my home or a client's home. I foster pets frequently and currently have a foster dog who is very dog social, which helps create a positive and balanced environment for previous clients I have taken care for outside of Rover. I also have two friendly, social cats. If a pet is uncomfortable around cats, they are ways provided with a seperate room filled with toys and enrichment to ensure the client's pet is comfortable and to reduce stress. I have a large backyard that is currently unfenced and in the process of being fenced. In the meantime, I ensure dogs Recieved plenty of supervised outdoor time and regular trips to dig parts for safe play, socialization and exercise. I am especially patient with anxious dogs and am always willing to take the extra time to help them feel secure. Walks and activities will never begin until a dog is fully comfortable and ready

I highly recommend Mars as a pet sitter. They are patient, attentive, and genuinely committed to animal care, treating every pet like a close family member and making their well-being their top priority.

Mars is excellent with animals and I know has fostered some as well. They love their cats and have taken care of larger animals as well such as horses.
