Pet care experience

LOVE is a four-legged word.

Nice to meet you! My name is Marie. We all share the desire to provide the best for our animal companions, especially when we can’t be there ourselves. You want someone who will love and care for your pets just as you would. I view animals as equals to humans, fellow beings sharing this planet with us, and they deserve the same dignity and respect we expect for ourselves. Whether they need a long walk, playtime with a feather wand, some gentle brushing and cuddles, or simply a friend to be present with them, I’m ready to become your pet’s new friend! Having grown up surrounded by various pets and wildlife, my respect and empathy for animals have flourished throughout my life. As a fellow pet parent, I understand the importance of finding the best possible care for our beloved pets. I take great pride in the reports I provide while your pet is in my care. I make it a point to capture many pictures and document the most intimate details I can. I miss my pets dearly when I’m away, and I can only imagine that other pet parents feel the same way. If you trust me with the care of your furry companion, I will do my utmost to ensure your experience is exceptional. I have extensive experience caring for both cats and dogs, with all ages and all sizes. 😸❤️🐶

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I currently have 4 kitties. They have special dietary needs and a couple are quite young, which requires daily routine care in regards to food and play. I have fostered a litter of kittens part time in the past that required bottle feedings and help with going to the bathroom. I have also owned two senior cats in the past that were diagnosed with cancer, one needed daily medication for a year. I do not currently own dogs, but I grew up with dogs. My experience with dogs extends to walks and play. I am a fit individual and can take the pull of a leash from a dog or provide a good run if that's what the dog needs.

Drop-In Visits • Sep 27, 2026

Marie did eight nights of drop-in visits for our two cats and was fantastic. She kept us updated the whole time, stayed on top of the litter boxes, and even grabbed packages off the porch we'd totally forgotten were coming. Came home to two happy cats and zero surprises — we'll book her again next time we travel.

Marie is so positive & diligent. You could not have a better person to take care of your pet! We have a 6 month old high energy golden doodle puppy & Marie knew just what to do to calm her & help our pup have a successful time in our absence!

Marie was absolutely wonderful with our cats, Dobbie and Milo! From the very beginning, she was communicative, thoughtful, and clearly genuinely cared about them. She sent us updates while we were away, and it was such a comfort knowing they were getting lots of love and attention. We would 100% book Marie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable to love on their pets while they’re away. 🐾❤️

Marie is amazing!! This was the 1st time having someone besides family or friends watch our 2 cats & she exceeded all our expectations & then some. Her daily updates & pictures helped ease our minds and put smiles on our faces. Our cats loved her!! We will definitely be reaching out to her the next time we need a sitter.

Marie has been such a gem to have found on Rover. We will continue using her services exclusively if she will have us when we go out of town!

Overall personality of course. I'd like to know how I should approach them. Typical behaviors, favorite toy or activity. What makes them happy or upset. I want to know everything :)
