Seeking Four Legged Friends :)
Pet care experience
Hello! Your pup's quality of life while you are away is of utmost importance to me, and I would be excited to lend a hand - and some walking legs - while you get away on a weekend trip. I am currently available over weekends as caretaker for cats, dogs and pups of all ages, and I am also a responsible and well established house-sitter. I am certified in Pet CPR & First Aid and have worked with paraplegic dogs and those with differing abilities, including providing end-of-life care for elderly dogs who are in transition. Because I am petite, if you have a large dog who pulls on the leash or jumps, I might not be the best fit, but I do have several four-legged friends who are much larger than me! I can walk smaller dogs who pull with no problem. I work to demonstrate compassion, patience, and understanding to our fuzzy friends. Say hello to see if you find me a good fit for your home and pup as well! Best wishes and happy health! Marjorie
Reviews
Marjorie is the sweetest dog sitter for all types of dogs. She’s our favorite person to have care for our shy dog.She can also easily care for our friends pups who are a bit of a handful.
Marjorie was a godsend! Our little buddy is so particular and Marjorie intuitively knew how to care for him and to keep us reassured while we were gone. She is thoughtful, kind and clearly she has a love for animals. I am so grateful that I found her!
Marjorie is our go-to person. She takes great care of our dogs and she is always responsive. She understands our dogs needs and she always keeps us updated when we're away.
Marjorie was amazing with our three senior dogs. We were very excited to find her and would HIGHLY recommend her for many reasons: her professionalism, she's a good human, her communication, care for our pups, demeanor, care for our house - the list goes on. Thank you, Marjorie!
About Marjorie H.

Safety, trust & environment
I will give your pup my undivided attention or offer whatever support they need. I do not leave pets unattended outdoors and keep them within eyesight while outdoors and often while in the house. In the six years I have worked with dogs in the Seattle area (17 years total including elsewhere) I have not lost a pet or had anyone run away while in my care. I'm truly there to keep them company and make sure their needs are met.
Information Marjorie H. would like to know about your pet
If your dog is not well or has medications that need to be administered, please discuss this with me (or any sitter) before the stay is booked as part of the introduction to your pet and their care.
A typical day
I enjoy taking dogs on walks, and if they are comfortable in cars, can take them to nearby parks or just a longer jaunt around the neighborhood. I also like to play mentally stimulating games, and puzzles with dogs, including some light training reinforcement, or whatever your dog seems to enjoy best, including snuggles.
