Availability

Right now I am only providing house sittings for new clients. My rate includes morning routine and the evening routine and overnight. (This includes two 30 minute walks/play time in the yard and potty breaks as needed.) Please note that I do work outside of the house right now for about 6-7 hours a day primarily in the morning. I am happy to be available for house sitting as well so that your pet can feel comfortable and safe while you are away. I am dedicated to providing quality care and communication through out the stay. While I am in your home I treat it with respect and strive to leave it as it was when I entered.

Safety, trust & environment

The veterinary clinics I worked in were big on being fear free which I always advocate for. I let each pet set the pace for interactions and let them warm up to me, whether that becomes head butts, scritches, and lots of love or slow blinks from a few feet away.

Information Marie L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there are any special needs or medications that need to be administered. Give me an idea of who your furry friend is, outgoing, introverted so that we can discuss how I can provide the best care for your pet.

A typical day

I take walks on the trail next to my apartment complex before work, during my lunch break and after work in the evenings. There is plenty of time during my day for snuggles play time and any additional activities your furry friend might enjoy!

Loving care from a former Vet Tech!

Pet care experience

I have a long history of being a lover of all things cats and dogs. My family has had dogs and cats all throughout my life. I have continued that into my adult life happily! I have always been a go to pet sitter for friends, strangers and family, and meeting each new personality is always a joy. Even the crankiest of kitties have a special spot in my heart. I also have 3+ years of experience as a veterinary assistant and am familiar with interacting closely with the friendly and sassy alike.

My senior dog was in great hands with Marie while I was away, and I received regular updates the entire time. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again.

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.
