Hello! I'm Marie, an animal lover with a big heart... and a frequent traveler. My story begins with a personal choice: Because I return to France for several weeks each year to visit family, I made the decision not to adopt a pet of my own. I believe I couldn't leave them in someone else's care for that long. But my desire for animal companionship was still strong! This is what led me to become a passionate volunteer at Austin Pets Alive! There, I learned everything: from handling the most fearful or reactive dogs to caring for cats. And I learned one essential thing: The success of an adoption depends on daily support. Sometimes, families feel overwhelmed, and that's where I want to make a difference. My goal is not just to walk your dog or feed your cat. It's to become your trusted partner. To relieve you on your busy days, to help during your vacations, and in doing so, help ensure your pet remains a happy, thriving, and permanent member of your family. Let's build a more peaceful daily life for you, and a more joyful one for them.
