Availability

I am available every day, when I’m not fully booked. I already walk every day with my 2 dogs, my border collie Happy and my Aussie/Golden Tipper. They are very friendly dogs and well trained. They would be very happy if your dog joint us :) I can also walk without my dogs, no problem with that, some dogs do better alone.

Safety, trust & environment

I have experience with dogs, you can trust me with your puppy, i like them all and i treat every dog like it’s mine! If I don’t know your dog well, I will never let him off leash, I only do when I know the dog and when I fully trust. At home, I have a long rope system, so they can be outside as long as they want even if they need to stay on leash. My yard is by the forest so there is a lot of space to play or chill.

Pet care experience

Hello my name is Marie, I am a pet lover :) I have almost 3 years experience on rover. I am currently off work with my baby for a few months and i am happy to take care of dogs at home. I live by Seal Bay and I have a fenced yard so they can play outside all day long. I also really like cats if you need me to take care of your furry baby while you are away :) I take a walk with the dogs every day or I like hiking, play fetch, give some scratches and cuddles, enjoying the good weather with the doggies. 😊 Send me a text when you need and it’s gonna be my pleasure. Tell your dog I say Hi !

Mika had the best time with Marie and her dogs. She came home happy and tired! Marie is very good and quick at communication and very kind. Her space was perfect for the dogs to run and play!

So friendly, reliable and communicative. My kitties took to her right away and she cared for them as though they were her own :)
