Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal care attendant
I have 5 years of experience working full-time in a veterinary referral and emergency hospital, including the past 2 years in the Neurology department. I regularly work with dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, sizes, and medical backgrounds, including patients with seizures, IVDD, brain tumours, mobility concerns, and other neurologic conditions. My veterinary experience has taught me to pay close attention to changes in behaviour, appetite, mobility, bathroom habits, and overall wellbeing. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets, pets with medical histories, and pets who require medications or more detailed care routines. When pet sitting, I make it a priority to maintain your pet’s normal routine and carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, exercise, and any individual needs. I also provide regular photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet is comfortable and well cared for while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets in their own home where they can remain comfortable with their normal routine. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, exercise, and household routines. My veterinary emergency and referral experience has also taught me to pay close attention to changes in behaviour, appetite, mobility, and overall wellbeing. I provide regular updates and photos throughout my stay and treat every client’s home with the same respect I would my own.
Ratings and reviews
Marie was wonderful with my husky, Xylo! From the moment I picked him up, he was calm, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. She took him on a walk, followed all of my instructions carefully, and kept me updated throughout the evening. It's clear she genuinely cares. I felt completely at ease leaving Xylo with her and wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend Marie to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🩷
Marie is the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! My anxiety ridden rescue doesn’t like many new people but she loved Marie right away. I loved the pictures and text updates while we were away so I didn’t have to worry how things were going. Marie was responsive while booking and showed up at the house exactly when we agreed she would. Highly recommend her to anyone.
Marie was great in house sitting our 2 cats. Will highly recommend her services
Marie did a great job taking care of my fur and feather babies. She was comfortable with my large Bulldogs who took to her right away. Great communication. Was respectful with my home during her stay. Will definitely use Marie again!

Schedule
work full-time at a veterinary referral and emergency hospital. My typical schedule is Tuesday through Friday from 9 AM–7 PM, although my hours can occasionally vary. I plan my pet-sitting bookings around my work schedule and am available for care before and after work and overnight. On my days off, I have much more flexibility throughout the day. Before accepting a booking, I like to discuss your pet’s normal routine and how long they’re comfortable being left alone to make sure my schedule is a good fit for their needs.

- Before booking, I’d love to know about your pet’s normal routine, personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and how long they’re comfortable being left alone. Please also let me know about any medications, medical conditions, mobility limitations, allergies, behavioural concerns, anxiety, triggers, or history of aggression. For pets with medical conditions, I appreciate knowing what is normal for them and what changes would be concerning. Emergency contact and veterinary information are also helpful to have available.
