Safety, trust & environment

I ensure the pup/(or kitty!) is fed and gets all their energy out by playing and having some engaging fun! And then when it’s time to wind down, to give them snuggles and whatever attention (or space!) they may need to relax safely.

Information Marika L. would like to know about your pet

How high or low energy your pup is to ensure I can provide the appropriate amount of exercise or stimulation your pup needs! I absolutely respect the energy level and individualized needs that dogs have, as they’re all so different!

A typical day

I love to go walks with dogs! It’s so much fun! I love letting them explore their environment safely and watch them get enrichment from that. I also love engaging with dogs with their favorite toys, the same for kitties. :)

Pet care experience

I have six cats and when I was younger, I used to have a dog as well. I have always loved animals with a passion and I love taking care of them! With a few years experience in dog walking and dog and cat sitting for family and family friends, I have gained some knowledge in what a pet needs to stay engaged and happy to the best of my ability!

I didn't get to meet Marika due to timing, but she was very responsive via text and I felt comfortable she'd be able to handle my fur babies/house. From pics/feedback, my older cat really took to her (who's normally super shy around strangers) - it helped put me at ease on my vacation.

Marika was quick to respond, communicative and Chewy loved her company, as evidenced by the awesome pics! Looking forward to our next pet sitting opportunity with Marika : )

Marika was so easy to work with and was wonderful with Gretel! She sent photos and a very detailed update when she dropped by so I knew exactly how she was doing :) I will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone!

Marika was very professional, efficient and nice. She even arrived early to get acquainted with Sprite. I am very impressed and satisfied.
