Information Marielle S. would like to know about your pet

Any quirks to be aware of that could be alarming at first interaction, i.e. aggressive reactions to other dogs, shyness towards strangers, territorial of toys or their space. Nothing is a dealbreaker but I want to ensure I'm making the pet (and owner) as happy as possible.

A typical day

I'm all about accommodating dogs to their liking. If your dog loves other dogs, we'll head to the Civita Park or Little Italy dog parks! If they love long active walks or high activity, we'll hit the trails for a hike or a park for some fetch. Or if they just like a snuggle until it's time for a neighborhood walk, we can do that too!

Pet care experience

A love for animals brings me here, ready to help watch your pets while you are away or just simply need a break! A lifelong pet owner, I'm happy to be with your dog or cat and provide any special requirements needed. I love being outdoors so if your pet likes to spend some time on long walks or hikes, we'll be sure to have a great time. If not, we can keep it low-key too! :)

Marielle has been amazing! We’ve used her a few times to walk our girl Nova and to check in on her in the evening. She has been completely reliable and has been flexible with our times. She sends updates and photos throughout their time together; Nova always looks like she’s having the best time! Would 10/10 recommend!

Marielle was incredible! She provided such great care for both our dogs while we were on vacation and kept us updated with lots of pictures. We will absolutely continue using her!
