Pet care experience

Experienced Pet Care Enthusiast

I have 3 years of pet store experience plus current work as a dog daycare attendant, where I independently manage rooms of up to 14 dogs per shift, including large breeds. I am trained to recognize signs of stress, illness, discomfort, and aggressive behavior, and I use proven correction techniques to keep the group safe and under control. Through daily hands-on work with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, I have become comfortable and confident with any dog. This combination of retail pet-care knowledge and real daycare leadership allows me to provide attentive, informed, and reliable care for your pet.

Qualifications

3 years of experience

Safety, trust & environment

instructions closely so feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and any special needs are done exactly the way your pet is used to. I give them my full attention the entire visit and keep their home respected and left as I found it. On walks, safety comes first. I keep a secure grip on the leash at all times, stay aware of other dogs, traffic, and surroundings, and avoid situations that could put the pet at risk. I also watch for signs of stress or overstimulation so the walk stays comfortable, not chaotic. My goal is simple: your pet should feel safe, calm, and well cared for in their own space, and you should feel confident leaving them with me.

Marie has been a really good source of convenience when it comes to walking the dogs that are trying to shake the nerves of getting a grooming or personal training sessions with our wonderful outside consultant. Her experience with the animals and friendly attitude towards neighbors and there friendly pet companions is A+ and we appreciate the help .

Marie walked my dog Okja (small shi tzu) and took him down a delightful trail in the Bethesda area. It as a beautiful day and I’m glad that my pup got a chance to experience it. I have been working long hours at my job and Marie came at the opportune time. Thank you Marie and I appreciate your patience and friendliness with my furry family member.

Schedule

I currently work as a dog daycare attendant with shifts from 1:50pm to 7:30pm, so I am available every morning until noon for drop-in visits, walks, and playtime. My schedule is consistent, which means your pet can count on reliable care during those morning hours. With hands-on experience managing groups of dogs and a strong background in pet care, I give each visit my full attention so your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well looked after

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I should account for things like leash reactivity, resource guarding, separation anxiety, medical conditions, or specific routines around food and medication. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can keep them safe and comfortable. I work with dogs of all breeds and sizes, including larger dogs, and I’m comfortable handling a wide range of temperaments. I don’t limit myself to one type of dog. What matters most is that I have a clear picture of your pet’s personality, triggers, and needs before the first visit so I can follow your instructions and give them the right kind of care
