Hello! My name is Marie- I have over ten years of experience in pet care and I am certified by the American Red Cross in Dog and Cat First Aid/CPR. I have lived with animals my entire life! Also, I pet-sit full time, so I have a flexible schedule and can spend plenty time with your pet during housesits :) (My partner Luciana has extensive pet care as well, and she occasionally assists me with housesits and walks after meeting owners, with their approval, which is why she is also listed on this account) I have experience taking care of all kinds of dogs, from energetic chihuahuas to laid-back Newfoundlands. I trained my own dog starting from a young age, I’ve always been loved animals! Whether it’s playing fetch, going for jogs to get out some energy, or giving long belly rubs, I will make sure to keep your dog happy and healthy. If your dog needs oral medication, I have a few tricks up my sleeve to help them take it (cheese helps a lot!) I have a variety of experience in house-sitting and pet-sitting (dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and fish). I am a patient and caring animal lover, and I will be respectful of your home and your pet. I will work with you to give your pet the best care possible.
