Pet care experience

***Before booking, please note that I live in a studio apartment with an unfenced shared yard so dogs with less energy are a better fit for a small space! We will go on lots of walks for exercise but unfortunately no off leash playing or running. Also, I do have a very friendly, relaxed cat that enjoys dogs, handles them well, is not intimidated or scared by them, does not hiss, scratch or run away. Most dogs get used to the cat fairly quickly. I have housed several dogs and so far we have had nothing but positive experiences without any issues affecting the cat or dogs. If you have questions, please feel free to ask!*** I have had cats and dogs, along with various other animals, for 25 plus years. I am a huge animal lover and enjoy spending time with them. I have a cat , Cappie- 5 yrs (I refer to him as a dog-cat because he loves dogs and acts like one too!), and a dog, Surly-9 years (my best bud), and they are the best roommates a girl could have. I enjoy training and helping animals become more comfortable and happy. My animals are rescues from the Humane Society and have come such a long way since their adoptions. Adopting my dog in 2011 inspired me to get more involved in helping animals in any way possible. Animals have so much to teach us! I live in a fun area to go exploring and enjoy long walks- the dogs love it! I am responsible, trustworthy and friendly. I love taking pictures and will send you photo updates on how your pup's stay is going. You can also call, email, text anytime to check in or just to say hi, I don't mind! I will follow special instructions, diet, exercise, oral medications, etc. Feel free to contact me with questions. Thanks!

Marie took excellent care of my 14-year-old Lhasa Bichon this weekend. She was available for an introduction (meet and greet) before the stay so my dog could meet her dog and become comfortable in her home. My dog was happy and healthy after a weekend of walks and playdates. Great experience.

Marie has watched my dog numerous times and I always have an excellent experience with her! My dog is older (13), has heart failure, a low-fat diet and takes 8 pills per day.... he is a bit of a handful, but Marie has always followed my directions perfectly. She brings my dogs on short walks (I am trying to get my dog's weight down and he can only handle a little walking), doses his pills properly and mixes them in his food so they are disguised so he actually will eat them. My dog also gets along nicely with Surly (Marie's dog) and I know Jerry feels comfortable and welcome in Marie's home. I would highly recommend her!

Marie is a great dog sitter, she has watched our dogs on several occasions and she has always cared for our dogs as if they were her own. She is naturally a dog lover and is very attentive when it comes to caring for them especially with any particular needs a dog may have as far as dietary needs or exercise. I would recommend Marie as a go to person if you need someone to care for your pups!
