Highlights
Pet care experience
Riverside Rambles
**Note: I am currently only taking bookings 1-4 weeks in advance due to a highly variable schedule** I've owned a pets since I was 10 years old, including a lab cross, great dane, chickens, and pheasants. 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 owned a dog, Pogo, up until January of 2018 when he unfortunately passed away, and cannot currently keep other pets myself, so having the opportunity to be around animals 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 pets 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.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I'll strive to keep your pets comfortable and entertained, making sure their needs are met and that they're getting all the fuss and cuddles they need.
Ratings and reviews
Marcia has been such a lifesaver stopping in to see the cats over the last few days. This was our first time using Rover and she put us completely at ease. The cats who are usually quite anxious meeting new people, immediately got on with Marcia which was really encouraging! They seemed really calm when we got back. Would definitely use her services again in the future. :) Thanks Marcia!!
Marcia has been amazing and is very happy with his walks
It's the second time Marcia looked after my two terriers. I came home to extremely happy and contented dogs. Many thanks Maria can't recommend you enough
It was the first time Marcia looked after Harry and Basil. She did come to meet us prior to the booking. Just so she could familiarise herself with routines etc. Marcia sent regular updates also photos of our dogs. They looked extremely contented and were settled on our return home. It means a lot to be ablevto leave our dogs with an experienced sitter. Our house was also left lovely and tidy. Thank you very much Marcia, we would be more than happy to rebook you in the future.
No fuss, reliable, personable. Recommended.
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

Schedule
With a part time job I will be able to do pet care mostly midweek. If your pet can be left for a work day then house sitting over work days may be an option!
