Marnie's Mutts 'n' More

Pet care experience

I was a Rover sitter years ago and loved it but life got a bit too hectic for a bit, but I'm back! I am an animal-lover extraordinaire, having had many pugs, a cat, a panther chameleon, two bunnies, and two leopard geckos! I'm currently down to one pug but would have a whole animal sanctuary if I could! My place probably doesn't sound ideal, as it's a villa and not a house with no yard but my 12-year-old pug, Pumpkin, loves it here. She's got about four to five routes that she loves to walk with very scenic, hilly views, and I take her for walks at least three times a day for about 15 minutes each. I also have a back patio with a gorgeous view that gets plenty of sunshine and she likes to sun herself there. Of course, I'd keep this closed if your dog is a jumper, as the walls aren't super high. As for special needs pets, I've had two blind dogs (pugs, of course lol) who have done well and lived life to the fullest right to the very end! I have no probably giving meds. I worked in the veterinary industry for about five years as a Senior Writer, and my coworkers used to joke that I was an honorary vet due to all my knowledge. Pretty much everyone I know calls me the Dog Whisperer, and I tend to agree!

Marnie and her family took great care of our energetic pup, Zoey! I loved getting regular pictures of her and knowing she was being just as spoiled as if she were in our own house (if not more!). She loved playing with the kids and the pugs and came home absolutely happy and exhausted. We will definitely be using her again!

Marnie was great and my dog had a blast and was happy and healthy when I picked him up.

I was a little nervous to leave our 7 month old puppy, Scout, with another family for the first time. As soon as I met Marnie and her sweet family I felt so confident that he would be well taken care of. Marnie was fantastic with our energetic pup, they even went on a run together! Scout came home happy and definitely missed their pugs the next day. I would highly recommend Marnie to watch your dog!

My dog has the run of the place. She is an old gal so she just lays in her dog bed under my feet while I work most of the day except for her favorite - walks! But I'm happy to put up gates or shut doors to make the place feel safer if you think your pet would like that. I don't have many rules but I do have one new chaise lounge that I'm trying to keep nice so I keep blankets on it - lol!

Information Marnie B. would like to know about your pet

I'll obviously want to know about any quirks your pet has, especially if they are prone to anxiety. For example, I was dogsitting for a friend and my son and I completely panicked because he was making this weird choking noise. We found out he does this when he's anxious and he stopped once he got used to being at our place! I'll obviously want to know any routines, meds, and veterinary info as well and what you'd like me to do in emergency situations.

A typical day

I take my dog on walks three times a day and would love to bring yours with. If there are special requests, I can accommodate the occasional visit to a dog park. I have one right up the street in Calavera Hills.
