Marie was a god send. So patient with my Suki. She understood everything about her and was so thorough evaluating her behavior patterns. Hiring a sitter is one thing hiring someone who truly understands your dog is entirely different. We truly appreciated the care she provided and a loving home environment. She went above and beyond making her home a home away from home for our girl. We will definitely be looking to her for our future care/sitting. Thank you Marie! 🥰

Marie was fantastic! It is obvious that she really loves dogs. She cared for our dog like she was her own. Marie sent many updates and pictures throughout our trip so we knew she was living her best life while we were on vacation. Rennes came back well adjusted and happy. She can’t wait for her next stay with Marie.

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.
