I'm self-employed and work virtually, so I’m flexible. Still, I treat pet sitting as a full-time job, as I’m extremely attentive to pets when they're in my care. In my home or yours, their needs are my first priority. I'll always keep your pets on the same routine they’re used to, giving them consistency and belly rubs while you're away.

Safety, trust & environment

Pets are always supervised closely, whether we're on a walk, inside, or playing in the yard. Boarding in my home includes potty breaks, sniffing, and playing in a half-acre fenced yard (~4 feet high) as needed. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and beds to get comfy. They will receive my full attention, whether that's playing, cuddling, etc. My friendly dogs can keep yours company, but I also have a separate room if they prefer to be alone or want breaks. My two cats are kept separately from dogs and visitors. In your home, I'll follow your instructions and routine. I can drop in for playtime, meals, walks, or overnight care. When house sitting, I am with your pets overnight and most of the day. I'll always keep things tidy and respect your privacy and belongings.

Information Marie F. would like to know about your pet

I like to know as much as possible about your pet’s routine and personality so I can give them the best care. Please share any details about their feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, anxieties, quirks, or special preferences. It’s also helpful to know how they do with other dogs, cats, or new people so I can make their stay comfortable and stress-free.

A typical day

A typical day includes walks, playtime in the yard, and plenty of attention. I follow each pet’s routine based on their personality and needs. Pets who enjoy company can play with my two dogs, while those who prefer space can relax in a calm, comfortable area.

Reliable animal lover

Pet care experience

My goal is always to make pets feel loved and owners feel at ease, knowing their animals are cared for like my own. I understand the structure and attention that animals need, as well as the reliability and communication that owners need to leave their pets with someone else. I've worked with dogs that are active and needy, as well as shy and nervous. Nothing makes me happier than gaining an animal's trust by offering calm, dependable care they need to feel safe. I'm especially experienced with high-energy dogs, large breeds, seniors, and multi-pet households with multiple requirements/schedules.

Marie was wonderful. My dog is usually very shy with new people but she was Marie’s best friend. Marie handled medications so well and was very kind and loving. Sent pictures twice a day.

Marie took great care of our dog, Zeppelin, during his stay. She was communicative, kind, and kept me updated throughout the day. She acted quickly and responsibly when an unexpected scuffle happened, taking him straight to the emergency vet and keeping me informed the entire time. I really appreciated her honesty and attentiveness. Zeppelin came home in good spirits and well cared for. Thank you, Marie! Will book again!

Marie did an excellent job boarding my dog. Layla came home happy and very tired out. Marie was excellent in communication and sending pictures.
