Safety, trust & environment

I love to go on long walks around the neighborhood! On days where it is too hot, we can play inside, doing tricks and games for enrichment. I will never say no to a good snuggle session, so your pets will get all the love and pets from me while I’m there.

Information Marie D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog/cat has any triggers or leash reactivity! I do have experience with dogs that are reactive, but I appreciate the heads up ahead of time :) If your pet has any special needs/instructions please let me know ahead of time and i’m more than happy to accommodate to their daily schedule

A typical day

I loveeee to go on long walks, but short walks are okay too if a pet just needs a potty break! As someone with a high energy dog, I love to play games that will stimulate their minds or with their toys and treats! For overnight house sitting, I include two walks per day depending on the start/end time of the booking! I tend to have anywhere between 4-7 clients a day so pets must be okay with being left alone for up to 4 hours.

Pet care experience

Hello there :) I am currently available to provide pet care full-time, any day of the week! I have always been super passionate about animals, I started volunteering at my local shelter the day I turned 13! I have a 5 year old Aussie who is leash reactive due to a previous unprovoked attack, so I understand the challenge that comes with owning a reactive dog, and trusting someone who will take care of their needs. I have lived in San Diego for 8 years and love to spend as much time outdoors as possible, allowing me to provide the same for your pets! I am so thrilled to meet your furry friends and provide the best care possible!

Marie goes above and beyond and has been an excellent sitter watching our nine yr old Boston terrier, and is so incredibly kind and sweet. Thanks 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.
