Safety, trust & environment

Taking care of someone else's best friend is very important and I always make sure they are safe, have food and water available and have all their needs met.

Information Marilia D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, how food and water is managed, if they take any medicine and what time. That info is very important! Communication and setting up expectations is key. If more information is needed, feel free to call me. Texting is also fine. Thanks for your attention, hope to hear from you soon! :-)

A typical day

Every pet is different. I have seen quieter ones who nap all day, other ones like going out more often. It always depends on their personality. I am able to adapt to all your care needs!

Pet care experience

Hello! :-) I am very excited to take care of your best friends! I can take them for a walk, play with them, take care and give them a ton of love. I've had dogs at home since I was 5 and I've been responsible for them for a long time. I had 7 dogs at once during 2 years. I also adore cats and kittens and I'm very comfortable taking care of them! I actually have two cats - Maple and Kiki. I have also volunteered at a lot of cat shelters! And that includes giving your cat those stubborn pills!

Loved working with Marilia! We did a meet and greet beforehand and she was a pleasure. Our lil special-needs pittie mix loved her too and they shared many snuggles. She sent us lots of nice updates and photos and left our house spotless!

Amazing as always. She takes good care of my cats and always sends cute pics. She has no problem doing a bit weird instructions for my cat that has severe allergies.

Marilia was wonderful! Our cat, Zoe, was clearly in highly experienced, responsible, and caring hands. Marilia kept in close touch with any questions that came up and send regular updates. The entire experience gave us great peace of mind and we hope to hire Marilia for future cat-care needs.

Marilia is the best! Our cat and dog love her. She is always reliable, and always a pleasure to work with. She's our first option for all house and animal sitting.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
