Pet Enthusiast/Dog Lover

Pet care experience

I’ve owned dogs since I was 10, and watched others pets and homes since I was 16. I’m the go-to for friends and family in a pinch. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all ages! Walked, fed, played, bathed, gave meds (pills), etc. I have experience caring for special needs dogs, including one of my own who was blind. I’m a pet lover and strive to keep others’ fur babies as comfortable as possible in their preferred environment. I’m currently a full-time student and pretty much have open availability. My own dogs are spoiled throughout the day! Lots of play breaks and outdoor time. I follow any guidelines provided, but also go above and beyond with time spent & attention given. Who doesn’t love a good puppy snuggle?! I’m also more than willing to stay the night/in the home while owners are away when needed!

This is the second time Marie has watched my girl Selva! She is truly the only person we will trust to watch her, I trust her more than even my parents who live in the area! She keeps me updated, makes sure she eats, and makes sure she takes her meds! Thank you so much again Marie!

Marie was absolutely outstanding with our two dogs. So happy we found her! Our pups love her! Complete peace of mind while she was at our house for 5 days and nights. She gave updates, followed all our instructions and we never had a worry! Thanks Marie! Can't wait to have you again!

I cannot explain how much Marie has been a saving grace for me, my husband, and our honeymoon! It was already a stressful time as we were getting prepared for the wedding, then a week before the wedding my dog fell really sick and was in the hospital. Last minute, we decided we didn’t feel comfortable with her going to stay at someone else’s house, so Marie swooped in and stayed at my house to take care of Selva. She is so nice and caring, I have never felt so comfortable leaving Selva alone! And selva loves her from what I hear!! Thank you Marie!!

Marie is a lifesaver! She is very caring and will swoop in to take excellent care of your furry friends whenever she’s available. Our two pups are older and a bit skittish, but Marie puts them right at ease. She always goes above and beyond, giving them a little bit of extra loving when they’re having a particularly tough time away from us. Cannot recommend her enough!!

A typical day

Every dog is different! Whatever they prefer - walks, play fetch, be couch potatoes. Any activity that best suits their needs. My preference is to try to do anything the owners would do on a regular basis to try to keep their routine as normal as possible.
