Caring Teacher Loves All Animals
Pet care experience
Hello! I'm Marie, an experienced teacher who loves animals and helping others. I was a special education teacher for 12 years, and now I use those skills to be a caregiver who is observant and tries to safely include each dog in our small group. I've also taught adults to speak English. (I'm fluent in Spanish and familiar with several other languages.) On a typical day, my husband or I am home about 20-23 hours as this both of our full-time jobs. Currently, we own 2 dogs and I also have experience owning cats and snakes. We both thoroughly enjoy helping others, but what sets me apart is my experience in observing and caring for a wide variety of children and adults. My knowledge and experience in education help me to ethically and efficiently care for pets. Also, even if it says I'm unavailable, please message me, especially if it's for drop ins. I do not understand Rover's method for showing whether or not I'm available because it does not seem to correlate with what I mark.
Reviews
Our dog Bo was very tired when he came home. He had a fun day! He spent a lot of time outdoors playing with the other dogs. Marie made sure Bo and we were comfortable with his stay. Marie communicates well and sent lots of pictures!
Marie and Jorge have been dream dog sitters for us for almost 2 years now. I travel biweekly and they are incredibly professional, reliable, and friendly dog sitters. Luna has the BEST time with her playmates, we get frequent updates, and never worry for a second while she’s there. I highly recommend Marie for dog sitting!
Marie provided exceptional care for our dog! She was attentive to any special needs he had and gave numerous updates. Thank you!
We had another fantastic stay with Marie! Our dog was dealing with some medical issues at the beginning of our stay, and Marie constantly kept us updated and ensured she was in the best hands! We are so grateful for Marie and love that our dog has another place to call home when we are out of town!

My guarantee is that I will keep your pet safe and loved, treating them as I would my own pet. I would like to know name, breed, weight/size, age, any relevant medical history like allergies, any fears they may have, treat preference, usual sleeping situation (crate, dog bed, couch, human bed, etc)

My dogs and any dogs that come play with us enjoy the large fenced yard with room to run and chase full speed, play fetch, lie in the sun, "help" me tend the yard, etc.
