Safety, trust & environment

I always am anxious about making sure my cat can't get out of the house and am very diligent in checking the safety of my home. Flowers, trash, random hair ties, and other things that are usually left in a home can end up being really bad for a cat, so I am always hyper-conscious of having a cat-safe environment. The same goes for dogs, as well.

Information Marie S. would like to know about your pet

I have no preferences when it comes to type of dog or size or age. I would like to know if they have any aggressive tendencies, specific things that make them nervous, and if they have any allergies, as well as how they are with other dogs we may meet on walks. For cats, I’d like to know if they scratch or bite at all when being pet or brushed.

A typical day

For cats- I love finding out their favorite toys and games to play. Cats who love cuddles and pets can always count on getting them from me. For dogs- I would walk them around your neighborhood and to any nearby parks. I also know a few spaces around the city I liked to take my own dog and would be happy to take them there as well. I love playing with dogs and rolling around with them. Playing fetch, tug of war, or whatever game your dog has made up for himself (mine does that a lot).

I love cats!

Pet care experience

I absolutely love all animals! Most of my experience on Rover has been with cats and since I started several years ago, I have become confident in my ability to accommodate special requests, cats who need medication, and spicy cats who are…picky… about the company they keep. I understand that for most cats, it is all about letting them set the terms of the visit and not overwhelming them. Minimizing a kitty’s stress while their favorite human is away is my most important goal. I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and happy, so you can rest easy during your travels. As a cat mom myself, I understand how hard it is to leave your furry friends for any length of time, so making sure both you and your pet are secure in the knowledge that there is nothing to worry about, is of the utmost importance to me. Please feel free to reach out if you have any specific questions or requests! I’m always happy to help. Thanks, Marie

Marie was wonderful with our kitty Lily Rose. She was very communicative and Lily adored her! We felt very comfortable leaving her with Marie and would definitely use her again and again and again.!
