Riverside Rambles

Pet care experience

I've owned a dog since I was 10 years old and have loved dogs from day one. I'm a recent graduate of an MSc in Biodiversity and Conservation, so my passion for animals is deep in all aspects of my life. I have owned a dog, Pogo, up until January of 2018 when he unfortunately passed away, so having the opportunity to be around dogs again is something I'm delighted to be able to do. What I can offer: I make sure to keep up to date on information about behaviour and training so as to keep all the doggies I meet happy and safe! I can also help to teach basic obedience and reinforce positive behaviours. I've trained several rescue/foster dogs and have a good amount of experience. Sit, stay, lie down, leave it, recall, dropping and not jumping up are examples I can help to teach, as well as a few tricks such as shake, roll over, and basic agility training. I can also offer other pet care. I have experience caring for other pets such as cats, birds, and reptiles, so I can pet sit extra pets if required.

Marcia was great with Nipper. All good in the house on our return. We were away for two and a half days and Marcia kept in touch throughout. She said that it was all very straightforward with Nipper who can be a live wire . Thanks to Marcia and we recommend her

Marcia is lovely and took such good care of our dog whilst we were away for the night, she kept me updated with photos and we came home to a very happy and relaxed dog who clearly loved Marcia! Our house was well looked after and left spotless, would definitely recommend ?

Our dog, Roma, is an anxious rescue who is initially very wary of people. Marcia took this in her stride and knew how help Roma feel at ease. This in turn meant that we enjoyed a full day out in London knowing that Roma wasn’t stressed and was being looked after at our home. Marcia sent us lots of updates including pictures of Roma relaxing which we really appreciated. We also really appreciated the initial ‘meet and greet’ that Marcia suggested. We knew from that moment that Marcia was a responsible pet sitter. We’d highly recommend Marcia, and I’m already looking at her availability for a future sit.

I am so happy to have found Marcia. I haven’t been away for over a year because I was so worried to leave my two dogs and a cat. My two dogs are rescue so a kennel was out of the question. Then i found your website and Marcia who has been an absolute star from beginning to end. Took care of my babies brilliantly and left the house pristine. I will definitely ask Marcia again and if she’s not available I will change the travelling dates. Thank you so much Marcia, I’m sure we’ll see each other again
