Dog lover!

Pet care experience

I’m a retired 6th grade teacher that has owned dogs her entire life. While living in Virginia I spent the last 18 years on our 50 acre farm raising beef cattle, chickens, dogs, cats and two wonderful boys (and husband!). Now, my kids are grown and have moved on to establish their careers (and get married) so we sold our farm as a way to downsize. I miss the animals so much! My hope is that with your help I can establish a connection with your sweet pup by spending quality time with them while you are busy and away. With so many local parks, miles of sidewalks and the Downtown Mall in the City of Charlottesville I know we can have a great time together!

Marianne S and I have been teaching colleagues and friends for the better part of fifteen years. Marianne is a kind and compassionate individual who consistently makes the well being of others a priority in her life. She and her husband have an adorable dog named Bear. Even when Marianne is very busy she always makes time for Bear’s daily walks. Marianne and Bear are well known in the neighborhood and also along the Charlottesville Downtown Mall. She has two “grand dogs,” Zoey and Rai and she is always willing to look after them when needed. Marianne will be an excellent dog sitter for Rover.com. Anyone who is lucky enough to be able to leave their beloved dog with Marianne will not be disappointed.

Marianne is a loving pet parent who tends to her dog Bear, with kindness and respect. She will be a responsible dog walker who will look out for you furry baby's best interests.

I can recommend Marianne S without hesitation. She has cared for my dog several times and he did great. She raised 2 wonderful young men and worked as a beloved middle school teacher for years. Marianne and her husband owned a farm with cattle, horses, chickens, cats and dogs for years. As you can see, she is very qualified and experienced with caregiving and would be a wonderful dog walker.
