Pet care experience

Professional Pet Care You Can Trust

I have nearly 12 years of professional experience working with dogs as a groomer and trainer, along with a background in veterinary care and animal handling. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, including puppies, seniors, large breeds, and pets who may need a little extra patience. My experience goes beyond basic pet sitting, I understand canine behavior, body language, safe handling, grooming needs, and the importance of keeping pets comfortable and maintaining their normal routine. I also have experience with cats, horses, and farm animals. Whether I’m stopping by for a visit, going for a walk, or caring for your pets while you’re away, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I believe pets are most comfortable when their normal routine is respected. In your home, I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, crates, playtime, and household routines. My professional animal-care background has taught me to pay close attention to body language, behavior, and changes that may indicate stress or discomfort. I use calm, patient handling and never force interactions. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being always come first.

Marie was absolutely fantastic with my pets! She watched them over Christmas and was very communicative, sending photos and updates all throughout the day! I can tell my pets had a great time.

Schedule

Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I work professionally with animals throughout the week and plan my Rover bookings around my existing schedule so every pet receives the time and attention they deserve. My availability varies by day, but I only accept bookings I know I can reliably accommodate and I’m happy to discuss your pet’s normal routine before booking.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Marie can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
I’d love to know as much as possible about your pet before our first visit—including their normal routine, personality, likes and dislikes, medical needs, allergies, medications, and any behavioral concerns. Please let me know about reactivity, anxiety, resource guarding, bite history, escape tendencies, or triggers. I don’t expect every pet to be perfect, but being honest helps me understand them, prepare appropriately, and keep everyone safe.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
