Information Marcia W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or walk preferences. It is helpful to know your pets feeding schedule and if they have any special supplements or additives. I appreciate knowing something about your dog's personality and special resting places.

A typical day

I appreciate knowing what your dog's typical walk might be. Does your pet enjoy solo walks? Is there an off-leash park nearby that you take your dog to? Are there areas you do not want your dog taken to?

Patient Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

A menagerie of pets have been central to my family's life for more than four decades. Their role in our lives as companions is irreplaceable. I value your pet's place in your life and will care for them with respect for their individual needs as a beloved member of your family. I have a long experience caring for dogs, cats and a multitude of birds! I can also help with fish. I have assisted in caring for animals in all stages of life. I live in the Seattle area and can serve the greater Seattle community. I hope my pet service to you will allow you to take a vacation or attend to work commitments without worry or anxiety.

Marcia was very friendly and great with our kitten. We were nervous to leave her alone for the first time, but Marcia sent lots of pictures and took a lot of our worry away. Will definitely be contacting her again in the future :)

Marci is reliable, conscientious and courteous. We know our cats are in great hands with her, and we would definitely hire her again.

Marci took great care of our kitties. I am grateful that she was available on relatively short notice over a holiday weekend, as our original cat sitter needed to cancel due to some health concerns.. She was responsive and communicated clearly throughout the process, from the very first text to the notes she left after each visit. It was also obvious during our walk-through visit that she is a very knowledgeable and thoughtful pet sitter. We will definitely reach out to her for a future cat sitting..

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.
