Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Marie! Caring for dachshunds has been a central part of my life for many years. My sweet long-haired miniature dachshund, Luna, joined me as a puppy and was my constant companion for 12 wonderful years. She truly lived her best life—going everywhere with me, acting as my shadow, and showing me just how deep and meaningful the bond between people and dogs can be. I lost her three years ago, but my love for dachshunds has never faded. I still have plenty of dachshund love to give! Alongside Luna, I also shared my life with Mohawk, my Dutch Shepherd (and Luna's "big brother"), whom I cared for into his senior years at over 15 years old. Through both of them, I gained experience caring for small and large breeds, puppies, seniors, and dogs with a wide range of personalities and activity levels. I currently don't have pets of my own, which allows me to give your pets my full attention, care, and affection while they're with me. What I offer: *In-home pet care and house sitting. *Dachshund-savvy handling and care. *Experience with miniature dachshunds, puppies, and senior dogs. *Walks tailored to your pet's needs—from neighborhood strolls to local beach trails. If your dog enjoys adventure, I'd be happy to bring them along on a hike with your permission. *References available through Rover as well as personal references from coworkers and other clients whose pets I've cared for. I treat every animal as if they were my own—with patience, attentiveness, and genuine affection. Whether your companion enjoys long walks, quiet companionship, playtime, or simply having a calm, consistent presence, I'll care for them the way they're most comfortable. I'd love the opportunity to care for your dachshund, dog, or cat and give you complete peace of mind while you're away.

Marie is great. She took wonderful care of our home and pups, providing regular updates over the stay. We have no reservations recommending her and hope to use her services again in the future.

Marie is hands-down the best sitter we’ve ever had. She has watched my mini Australian shepherd multiple times, and every single stay feels like a vacation for my dog. Marie doesn’t just “watch” him — she takes him on real adventures, fun outings, and gives him tons of exercise that perfectly match a high-energy Aussie’s needs. I always get lots of photos and updates of hikes, exploring, playtime, and one very happy, tired-out pup, which gives me complete peace of mind. My dog absolutely adores Marie and goes wild with excitement every time he sees her. I come home to a fulfilled, happy, and clearly loved dog. If you want someone who will treat your dog like their own and make sure he’s having the time of his life, Marie is the one. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Marie is the kind of person animals immediately feel safe with. Her love for them runs deep and lifelong, built on intuition, patience, and genuine care. Long before online pet-care services were a thing, she was the trusted choice for friends and family needing dependable care for both pets and farm animals. Loving animals isn’t something she does—it’s who she is. Thank you for the love, comfort, and engagement you've given our pets through the years!

Marie is the absolute most responsible and loving pet caregiver. I have seen her take care and train all of her pets with nothing but pure love, care and respect of her pets. Her home and her pets home are always clean, they have any and every toy, blanket, bed and anything they need! She always research’s her pets before getting them, she reads books, articles and talks to other owners. She always attentive to anything they need for their diet, supplements and foods that are better for their animals. She even makes sure she brushes her pets teeth just like she does for herself! She’s always active and going outside and would always bring her companions with her, packing treats, water and lunch to eat with her! Her care is so perfectly reflected in her own pets. They’re the most healthy and happy animals I’ve ever seen, they always end up living so much longer just because Marie started taking care of them! She even got an opportunity to take care of a friend’s little farm with goats, chickens, ducks, dogs and a horse! They always asked for her to take care of their animals when they went out of town. Marie taught me how to be responsible and what it means to care for an animal.
