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
Ratings and reviews
Very satisfied with Marija, she took good care of Goldie. We highly recommend her.
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 goes above and beyond while caring for my pets. She consistently updates and provides genuine levels of affection, everything about the experience showed how much Mars truly cares about others animals.
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.
I highly recommend Mars as anyone's pet sitter. As a close friend that I've known for years, I know how deeply she cares for animals. She's had multiple cats and dogs of her own over the years, each of which lived well and happily. From personal experience, she's been great with my own cat, Phoebe, any time I've needed her to be looked after; and I don't leave her with just anyone. With Mars, you simply know that your pets will be taken care of with the love and care they deserve.
In the years that I have known Mars she has done nothing but care for animals. Mars has owned many dogs and cats. Never neglected or ignored their needs.

Schedule
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.
