Pet care experience

I've taken care of animals of all kinds and ages my whole life; puppies to senior dogs and kittens to cats. I've also owned exotic animals such as parrots, rabbits and rodents. I am experienced in administering oral and subcutaneous medications to cats and dogs. I worked as a veterinary assistant and technician previously and gained tremendous experience learning animal behavior and care. Plus, I will love your babies like they are my own!

Marcia is simply the best—there’s a reason we keep coming back to her again and again. Finding someone you trust with your pets (and your home) is no small thing, and with Marcia, that trust comes easily. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring, and it shows in every interaction.

Marcia rescued us. We had a last minute need for a dog sitter and Marcia came through! Our pups really liked her. We received pics of our dogs with every visit along with an update on their behavior. We were really relieved to have our babes in such capable hands.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
