ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS!

Pet care experience

If picking up after 10:30 am you will be charged for an extra half night of service. I will spoil your precious pet. I love dogs and my home will be their home. My youngest son will give a lot attention to your sweet pet. I have been arould dogs, all my life. My mom was a dog breeder, Golden Retrievers. My mom had 12 dogs and litter of puppies at least once a year awhile I was growing up. I am reliable and my rates are reasonable. Dog boarding at my is wonderful for the pets in my care, a home setting is calming to the dogs. The dogs have a huge area on the first floor to relax and play.I am very lucky my husband and my 19 year old son spoil my boarders.Love my job. I do cat care as well. With the cat care, I do litter box clean up, feed& water and social time with the Precious cats.

Marcia has been great! We have an extremely timid dog that she has been amazing with. She sends picture updates and always lets me know how the walk went. Highly recommend!

Marcia had amazing reviews for caring for dogs in her home, but her skills and care stop there! I hired her to watch my three elderly dogs, one of whom is crated when no one is home. I had Marcia stay at my house, so that my Boston Terrier who has some incontinence issues wouldn’t pee at her house. My dog is crated always with a blanket both for warmth and because she likes to bury herself under it. I was gone for 6 nights and Marcia didn’t use even one blanket, telling me somewhere along the way she forgot. To make matters worse she left my dog in her crate all day from 7/8 am until 5/6pm would return feed her and my other two dogs, and go “out to dinner with her husband” for 2-3 hours. My neighbor was watching for her car once we realized there was an isssue. I can’t prove it but it’s possible one night she didn’t even sleep at my house as promised. On top of it all my dog has a nasty injury to the side of her nose most likely from trying to get out of her crate when she was left for so long! Marcia either didn’t even notice the injury, which showed up in the nightly picture she sent me in the 3rd night she stayed with Button, or worse she didn’t tell me. Beware! I’m sure she takes good care of pets of in own home, but she advertises on Rover that she does house sitting with pets, and this is what she agreed to, yet she neglected my elderly dog!
