I go on multiple walks during the day, so I'd love to bring your dog along with me on my neighborhood walks. :) Plus, my husband takes dogs on runs (those who are fit and able!), which is super beneficial for their health & longevity long-term.

Safety, trust & environment

There's a dog park right in my complex, as well as several grassy/wooded areas that are perfect for play! Just a 5-minute walk away is the Middlesex Fells Reservation, which has some amazing trails and views of Boston (dogs love pretty views 😄). I always do at least one long walk a day (~1 hour), along with two medium walks (30 min+). My husband will run with your dog at least 1-2 miles per day, depending on their fitness and energy levels.

Information Marie M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs I should look out for (including their typical walking routine/preferences) so I can make their stay as fun & comfortable as possible.

A typical day

Depending on your dog and his/her specific needs, we'll take frequent walks and play with their toys. We go to the dog park frequently to play fetch, which rarely has other dogs in there. I like to tailor the activities to the specific dog so I'm always open to hearing about their interests & needs. :)

Caring & Reliable Dog Lover 🐶

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Marie! 😊 I’ve always loved being around animals. I grew up with a Golden Retriever mix and have lots of experience caring for dogs. I also look after my family’s pets when they travel, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. While I don’t have a pup of my own right now, I really miss having one around, so I’d be happy to give your dog lots of care, attention, and love. 🐾 And I love taking photos & videos of dogs, so you can expect some cute snapshots while you’re away! 🐶 I’m super flexible on timing and would love to check in on your cats or pups while you’re away, whether it’s overnight or walks during the day! I take reliability seriously and have never canceled an accepted booking 😊 Some dog breeds I have the most experience watching: Golden Retrievers, Corgis, Labs, Doodles, Aussies, Chihuahuas, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Pomeranians, Greyhounds, Poodles & Spaniels.

Marie was wonderful with Nelly and Wrigley. She sent lots of pictures and updates and they clearly loved her! My golden is blind and just finished radiation therapy and she was wonderful with him despite his special needs. Would absolutely book with her again!

Marie is absolutely perfect! My doggy has some anxiety and trouble getting comfortable in new environments. Marie took her on many walks and gave her lots of love— my doggy felt at home right away. Marie kept us up to date and sent us lots of fun pictures. Will definitely be booking with Marie again. Thank you so much!!

Marie is an amazing dog sitter. We have an anxious pup, but she loves staying with Marie and exploring her neighborhood on frequent walks and hikes. Marie is great with communication - sending multiple photos each day. We are so glad that we found Marie to watch our dog while we are away.
