Pet care experience
I am very friendly and connected with pets usually they warm up to me or are excited to meet me on sight. It all began when grandmother had a French poodle for me named Pixie that I was raised caring for until she had to be put down when I was 16. Thereafter I would visit and care for the pets of friends and neighbors. Trustworthy is the standard with me. I have pet sat for roommates and my landlord also. Dogs or cats are fine although I have also cared for other animals as well. I am proud to share that I did my first pet rescue randomly last summer when a chihuahua was lost and running in the street. I was the only person she would come to after numerous people made an attempt to capture her. It's a great story that I enjoy telling, because I was proud I could do that and not be fearful of the risks. As irony would have it after staying with her all day and seeking a safe foster home until I could find her owner because I can not keep pets where I live, the foster home found her owner the same night and she was safely back home. I followed up with the family to make sure that their pet was safely returned and when we met up as luck would have it, the dog belonged to a former student of mine. Her aunt recognized me from a school visit. They brought the dog "Zoe" to say hello as well. It was definitely more than a happy ending. I really can't say much more than that about why I would be a good choice. An added perk is that I tend to be a bit of a neatnik and you will probably enjoy that your pet's space is left clean and orderly and I would respect your home in that manner. I am self employed primarily and decide my own schedule so flexibility and consistency within my community of clients is highly valued. We cooperate with kindness. I do not have pets at home to work around. My client's pets are cared for in a dedicated way 100% like my own or better.

Thanks again!
Marcea was beyond professional and very considerate. she gave detailed check ins and went above and beyond to make sure not only the kitties were taken care of, but took in our mail and did some cleaning/vacuuming. Do not hesitate to hire her for your pets!
Marcea is a great find. She treats caring for my cats vert professionally, and sends detailed updates and photos. I will hire her again for sure.
Marcea is always great with our little guys and they look forward to her visits so much! We specially appreciate Marcea's flexibility in accommodating last minute schedule changes due to delayed flights!! Thanks Marcea!

A typical day
We determine preferences at the initial meeting and do a trial based on the care needs of the pet(s) involved.It is like a simulation of the actual stay.
