I’m a full time teacher M-F so if your fur baby needs more frequent checks ins or potty breaks throughout the day I may not be able to accommodate BUT I’m more than willing to coordinate based on holiday breaks or long weekends :) During school days- evening walks or drop ins are available options. If your dog is able to be left alone for 8(+) during works days Im open to housesitting.

Mars is a great human! She took excellent care of my babies and provided sweet photos and updates throughout the visit. I felt comfortable leaving my home and pets in her care and would absolutely rebook in the future. I also appreciate my space being left clean the way I left it. Thank you Mars for your care!

Have a doggo with special needs. Mars did a great job taking care of him and our home. Left the home as clean as she found it for a week.
