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.
Reviews
Thank you so much for taking care of Coop again while I was gone! You are so awesome for taking the time to give Prim some love too!
Great as always!
As always, Marie was communicative, professional and prompt. We feel so safe knowing our babies are in her care, and we can tell they have been well taken care of when we come home to happy, chilled out creatures. Marie is wonderful!
Marie always provides us peace of mind when we’re away from home! Glad to have finally found a reliable and caring dog sitter.
About Marie L.
Communication
Skills
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!

Availability
I care for pets as drop in's and walks with availabilities in the morning, afternoons and evenings. For house sittings my rate includes morning routine, a check-in in the afternoon, and the evening routine/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 5-6 hours a day. 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 whether that is for just a short 30 minute walk /drop in or for an extended time. While I am in your home I treat it with respect and strive to leave it as it was when I entered.
