Highlights
Pet care experience
I’ll CARE for your pets with LOVE!
I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walking and providing your pets with what they are used to and need. I’ll play, brush, communicate with them with a lot of love and care. I presently care for friends’ dogs and have taken care of cats as well. I’ve had an Irish Setter, Garman Sheppard and English Springer Spaniel. I had to move after my divorce and pets are not allowed where I live now. Taking care of pets Is how I interact with these precious beings now. I hope to be able to have my own pet again some day. My last dog was a Springer Spaniel named Luna. She was so loving, smart and active. She was a part of our family. When my son was born, she slept under his crib. I’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have and will follow your directions and preferences. Safety for your pet is also a priority of mine.

Ratings and reviews
Marila is very responsible for and caring of my cat Bella. She is attentive and plays with Bella. She cleans Bella's bowl and liter regularly,
It is with the utmost enthusiasm that I recommend Marila Sydenstricker as both a house sitter and pet sitter. For two weeks, Marila provided excellent care to both my home and border collie while I was away. Given Marila’s attentiveness, reliability, and cleanliness, I was perfectly at ease while I was away, knowing my home and dog were in safe hands. Marila left my home neat and clean—just as I had left it—and kept my many (many!) plants in excellent health. Perhaps most notably, Marila went above and beyond when it came to taking care of my dog, Suki. In addition to providing the basic, required care for Suki (feeding, letting her outside, etc.), Marila was extraordinarily attentive, taking the time to regularly pet her and play frisbee with her throughout the day. Marila was even kind enough to send me photos and videos of Suki while I was away, giving me the chance to check in from afar. The photos and videos showed Suki to be having a wonderful time with Marila, which warmed my heart. There is no one else I would trust more with my dog. I recommend Marila with full confidence for any future pet sitting or house sitting.
Dear Pet Owner, I have known Marila for over 20 years. Marila understands animals. They really relate to her on another level. When we return from vacation, we can tell Mitsy is happy and has been well cared for. We do not have to worry knowing our pet is safe. I have observed the dedication, loyalty and sensitivity that she has for our four-legged friends. She has in mind their care, well-being, safety and attention. She genuinely gets the greatest joy when caring for an animal. She has demonstrated to all of those that have used her services her reliability, consistency and talents when it comes to caring for our pets. Over the past years, I have been very impressed with Marila’s attention to detail, flexibility, and reliability. On many occasions, Marila regularly adjusts her schedule to accommodate pet care needs. My mind is at ease when our pet is under Marila’s care. Marila will send me daily pictures via text message to show me that my pet is having fun and enjoying her time. I highly recommend Marila to anyone in search of a high-quality, professional, and reliable pet sitting service. Sincerely, Keila D Date: 6/29/20
We have known Marila for many years as a caring and dependable person. She loves animals and takes care of them as her own! After owning many different dog breeds herself throughout her life (Jack Russel Terrier, Irish Setter, German Shepherd, Springer Spaniel), her commitment is unwavering. Whether your pet is a healthy animal or one that needs special attention, you will be at peace when leaving your pet to her care. When the owners are away, Marila even makes more than one trip to your home to feed your puppy and spend time playing and interacting with her. I can't tell you how grateful neighbors and friends are knowing that their babies are well cared for. Anyone considering a pet sitter for their pets, who they love and consider family members, should know that they won't find another person as trustworthy in their home, dependable, experienced or caring as Marila.
