Pet care experience

Out of this world care!

Hi I’m Mars, I’ve grown up with cats but absolutely love dogs and taking care of both cats and dogs. I can’t wait to meet your pups and cats and grow to love them just as much as you do. I always make sure to take care of my pets and give them lots of love and affection. I’m happy to go on lots walk and house sit/pet sit. Fun fact, I’m an EMT so I’m one of the safest people to be around. I’ve had years of experience both babysitting and pet sitting and can fairly easily handle walking multiple dogs at once. 20-60min walks work the best and I always make sure to bring a travel bowl for water in case the dogs get tired along the ways. Can’t wait to meet you and your lovely pets.

Safety, trust & environment

When I go to another home, I always like to ask the general schedule or routines of the pets so that way they get the best experience and are happy and excited for when their owners return.

Had to go out of town last minute for the passing of a family member, and was lucky that Mars was available. Another wonderful sit from Mars! My cat Dany is the happiest and so well taken care of. Thank you, Mars!

Mars did an amazing job taking care of my cat while I was gone. All instructions were followed and Mars sent great pictures and videos. Yoshi was well taken care of!

Mars is definitely one of the best sitters we've ever had. Mars took care of our elderly kitty with extra care, gave her medicine 2x a day seamlessly, and made sure to give her lots of playtime and pets. Mars even took care of impromptu hairballs (the joy of long-haired cats), and left everything cleaner than we probably left it. If you want someone who will go out of their way to make your animal feel comfortable and loved, Mars is the sitter for you!

Mars was amazing!! Came over to meet our fur baby beforehand to make him comfortable and kept us updated with tons of pictures during every visit!! Cleaned the litterbox and let us know if there was any issues. 10/10 would recommend!!

Mars provided outstanding care to our Shih Tzu Mav and was able to accommodate us for a last minute walk. I would highly recommend and Mav looks foreward to more walks!

Mars took care of my cats exactly as I expected and wanted! Mars also took super cute and silly photos of the cats. Mars was diligent, compassionate with the cats, and communicative with us throughout the weekend. So grateful for Mars! 💫

Schedule

I am a nursing student so my schedule can be busy here or there when I’m in school but if times are a little more flexible then we’d be a great fit. I will be moving away from Salem mid August so will not be able to take requests after then

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Mars can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
I would like to know about how hyper they are and if they are easy to put on leash. And any walking habits are always a plus. For house sitting I’d like to know a whole lot more about they’re regular schedule. I have no preference on breeds but I love Great Danes, German Shepard’s, corgi’s, French bulldogs, Alaskan Malamutes and fluffy dogs in general
