Caring And Experienced Pet Sitter
Pet care experience
I have been a pet owner my entire life. I grew up on a farm and have cared for all manner of pets and livestock. I have been pet sitting and boarding in my home for friends, family and neighbors for over 5 years. I have experience with all ages and ability levels with cats and dogs.

Marjorie is the best! My dog Tasha (Bouvier, 50 lbs) loves her. Marjorie stayed in my home and was very responsible and clean, plus she was able to handle my dog’s anxiety and medication needs.
There comes a time where you can't be there for your dog and you need to find someone trustworthy enough to take care of them while you are away without any worries. I've been a dog owner for the last 8 years and my current dog Roscoe has had a missing hind leg since he was a puppy. I'm very particular about who takes care of him due to some of his needs but I've never had to worry when I leave him with Marjorie. Marjorie is great with communication when I leave Roscoe with her. I get frequent updates on how he is doing and answers any questions I have while I'm away. Another big plus about Marjorie is she is a wonderful dog owner herself. When I'm away it is super important for me for Roscoe to have another dog he can play/socialize with. Marjorie's dog Kenobi is very well behaved and a great playmate for any dog. Roscoe always has a blast spending time with him. Marjorie goes above and beyond for Roscoe and I appreciate everything she does for him. I would highly recommend Marjorie to anyone that needs a pet sitter especially if you want your dog to have a great playmate while you are away. You won't regret it and neither will your dog!
Marjorie was able to give special attention to my elderly cat, going above and beyond with grooming and play time to keep my sweet cat happy while I am away. One weekend of catsitting and I never would consider a different sitter again.
Marjorie is a lover of animals at her core and it absolutely shows when she’s taking care of them. Our dogs trust and love her - and we trust and love her too! She’s reliable, affectionate and attentive to them, and goes beyond the bare minimum to be sure they’re cared for. She even helped us choose our second dog when our elderly dog was lonely and in need of a companion. Marjorie is the best!

I live in a 4 bedroom home in the historic Forest Hill Neighborhood. We have a large fenced in back yard and live within walking distance of a dog park as well as walking trails in Forest Hill Park. I have a 6 year old husky/corgi mix who is very friendly with all dogs and cats. He loves it when his friends come to stay with us! We also recently adopted a kitten who is very dog and cat friendly.

I share a home with my sister who is equally experienced. Between the two of us, someone is always home with the animals that we are boarding. We work together as a team!
