Highlights
Pet care experience
Pets love unconditionally!
I have been around dogs my entire life and I have cared for puppies and dogs of all sizes. I love puppies through seniors and I will love and care for your dogs as if they were my own.
Cat care experience
Marcia also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I cannot board pets, I am willing to do overnights when I can and daily check ins, feedings, walks, clean up and playing with your dogs and/or cats. I will administer medication as needed and send photos of your pets to you when I am with them. Prefer non-smoking home.
Ratings and reviews
We highly recommend Marcia for pet/house sitting. She goes above and beyond in every way, and is truly an animal magnet! :)
This was our first multi-day trip with Marcia watching our 4 dogs. All of our dogs were doing great when we got home, including the one who often gets crabby when I'm away. He wanted to play with his ball as soon as I walked in the door, and it was lovely to come home to him being so happy. Marcia took great care of everyone and made sure everyone's health needs were met (2 of my dogs are on medication). We will definitely book with her again.
This was our second time booking petsitting services from Marcia. It is such a relief to be able to be away from home for a bit and know that my dog is in such great hands. Marcia sent pictures and updates, communicated excellently, and was attentive to our dog's every need. She also goes above and beyond by tidying the house, and she even made us custom cards with photos of our pup. I cannot recommend Marcia's services highly enough :)
Marcia has great communication, and my dogs seemed happy and well cared for when I got home. One of my dogs is very high maintenance and picky about his friends, but he loved Marcia at his meet and greet. Marcia was very attentive to his particular medical and behavioral needs while I was away.
Marcia was great with Leo and very communicative with us. Really appreciate having her stay with him while we were out. Will book again!
We had to travel to Stoughton for our daughter's wedding. Our 11 1/2 year old Teddy Bear (his name is Remington) has never been left alone for any extended time his entire life. We've tried kenneling a couple and he just cannot handle it - once was disastrous. He traveled with us to the wedding and we stayed at the local Tru hotel. Remington is quite anxious most of the time and can be unpredictable with strangers. Marcia came to our small hotel room and stayed with him for over 6 hours while we attended the wedding. On the night before the wedding (Friday), Marcia made special accommodations to spend time with him while we attended the rehearsal dinner. Quite to my surprise, Remington connected to her very quickly. Her pleasant and gentle demeanor made him instantly comfortable. When Marcia arrived on Saturday, his tail wagging made it clear he was genuinely happy to see her again. Leading up to this, we experienced some added stress regarding his care - a child's wedding is stressful enough. Upon Marcia's arrival on Friday evening, it became almost instantly clear we needn't to be concerned about the care of our little man and a stress point relief was eliminated -something that was much needed. Marcia is absolutely wonderful with animals - even ones like ours who can be rather unpredictable with strangers. I cannot recommend her services highly enough. If you need care for your pet, in the area, I strongly recommend you see if she is available. You will not be disappointed.

Schedule
I'm currently working full-time during the school year. I also occasionally work part-time jobs, times vary. I would love to replace my part-time jobs to care for pets. My weekly schedule changes, I will keep my calendar updated weekly. I am willing to do overnights when possible and also drop ins.
