Out of this world care!

Pet care experience

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.

I booked with Mars last minute during the holidays and let me just say how thankful I am for Mars! It was so stressful to go across the country and leave my Ollie for a week but I felt safe and secure leaving Ollie with Mars! Mars went above and beyond! I got videos and pictures of Ollie twice a day and it gave me peace of mind knowing that she’s in safe and loving hands. I HIGHLY recommend booking with Mars!!

Mars was amazing! Mars showed up on time and also helped administer multiple types of medication . Mars was super communicative and very easy to work with! I would absolutely book again!

We had a good experience with Mars up until the last day of scheduled service. They spent lots of time playing with our cats and sent lovely photos. Unfortunately on the last day they did not provide an update at the usual time. I texted to ask if they were going to see the cats and did not hear back for 8 hours, when i got a finally message saying they’d overslept. I had to scramble to find someone to come take care of the cats last minute while i was 3000 miles away because Mars did not show up or respond to my messages. When it comes to entrusting your pets to someone else’s care, reliability is paramount. Living creatures are depending on you, and if you don’t show up, they dont get fed or cared for. I hate to leave this review because we are looking for a regular sitter and thought we’d found a good one with Mars, but unfortunately we did end up having a bad experience and would not hire this sitter again.

Mars seemed to really enjoy the cats and worked well with them. She really understood their personalities. Loved the pics and reports she sent after each visit.

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.

Information Mars R. would like to know about your pet

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

A typical day

I love to go for walks or to take them to the dog park to play. Usually I walk around the neighborhood sometimes going on a couple loops of a park other times just exploring the area.

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
