Safety, trust & environment

I only take one animal in at a time, unless they are from the same household. I live in a condo. We have plenty of sidewalks and grass areas to walk your fur baby. I will make sure they have their feedings, and leave out water during the day. We will watch TV together in the evening. At bedtime I allow the animal to sleep in bed with me. I want your pet to feel like this is their second home.

Information Marie C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs, medications, health issues. Please leave me your vet contact information in case of an emergency. Be sure to have a credit card on file with your vet. I also like all of my tenants to have an air tag on their collar.

A typical day

We will go on walks and play with their favorite toys. I also make homemade peanut butter and oat treats if they are allowed to have them. Towards the end of the night we will snuggle and watch a movie together.

Pet care experience

I have experience with animals who have special needs. It can be stressful thinking about leaving your pet. Especially if they are on a special diet or in need of medication. I know how important this is to follow.

Marie was honestly amazing. From the start, she was super communicative, reliable, and clearly knows what she’s doing. My dog was happy, relaxed, and totally comfortable with her, which says everything. She treated my pup like her own, kept me updated with photos and messages, and I could actually enjoy my time away without stressing. It’s hard to find someone you truly trust with your dog, and Marie is that person. If you’re looking for someone who’s responsible, caring, and just genuinely great at what she does, book Marie. She’s the real deal and I’ll absolutely be using her again.

I highly recommend Marie. Mia my shih-poo has stayed with her multiple times & is always excited & comes home a happy girl. She is well taken care of in a clean environment, takes her for regular walks, makes her feel comfortable & cuddle time which Mia loves.

Marie is an exceptional pet sitter—trustworthy, reliable, and incredibly loving. We’ve known her for years, starting in Connecticut, and have trusted her to care for our dogs in our home wherever we’ve lived, including California, Puerto Rico, and even Italy (we’ve flown her out because she’s that amazing!). She was especially wonderful with our senior dog, carefully managing medications and providing gentle, attentive care. Marie treats our dogs like her own, and we recommend her without hesitation. 🐾

Thankful to have had Marie watch my dog! Would absolutely recommend her and I will be using her service in the future again. Besides being kind and caring to my dog, she was meticulous with following my dogs dietary needs and her routine. You can tell she cares and loves animals so much! Great communication as well!
