Guaranteed Professional Care
Pet care experience
Hello! I’m an insured dog walker who has been working as a pet care professional for eight years. My experience includes dog walking and care for all sizes and personalities, including anxious and reactive, cat care, administering oral and subcutaneous medication to cats, dogs, bats, and other small animals, reptile care, exotic aquarium maintenance, and caring for animals with special needs. I’m happy to accommodate households with large and giant dogs with or without walks, depending on your dog’s abilities and needs. I tend to specialize in animals with high care needs, including seniors and those with anxiety, and am happy to work with families of any size/style! Dog walks include basic training and our walk style or training tools are decided in collaboration. Meeting you & your pet(s) before the intial stay/visit is complementary. Jobs outside my service radius are considered on a case-by-case basis, as are boarding and day care requests. I enjoy caring for pets of all personalities, abilities, and ages. I care about your animal's comfort and happiness no matter their personality and have the patience to work with them to achieve that in my care.
Reviews
Marley was very kind, professional, and attentive to our pup who requires a bit more attention then the average pooch. Marley was willing to carry over our regular training and keep things consistent with our dog during walks. If anyone can handle a new situation, it's Marley. In Marley we trust!
Marley is wonderful with our dog, and sends us great reports and pictures. We feel relaxed knowing he is in her hands and will definitely continue to request her when we need to.
Marley was very communicative and gave us plenty of updates while we were away. Having the peace of mind that my kitties were well cared for really helped us relax while out of town. Thank you so much!
Marley did an amazing job caring for our 3 German shepherds. She updated us every visit this pictures and told us how they were doing. The dogs loved her, would highly recommend!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Environment: I adapt to your style of pet parenting. If your dog’s walks are casual and playful, I’m happy to follow suit, but if they include specific training, I’m also happy to do so. If your pets sleep with you, I’m happy to sleep with them. If they’re not allowed on furniture, I’m happy to enforce those rules.
Home
Information Marley R. would like to know about your pet
Personality inside & outside the house, physical limitations and energy, walk style, triggers for anxiety, reactivity and any other relevant behaviours, and the commands you use.
A typical day
I would love to take your dog to the park, go on walks through parks or residential areas, or take them on a hike. If you have a backyard or if your dog stays with us I would love to throw around your dog's favourite toy with them or simply spend time with them outdoors if they're not the active type. I can also run with your dog if you would like. If your dog is older, has unique care needs, or just doesn't like running or playing, I'm also very happy to stay in and spend time with them, patting or brushing them or doing whatever they enjoy!

Availability
Schedule: I’m happy to book visits and stays with as much to as little care/attention as you and you pet(s) need, and to discuss associated questions and rates. Booking at base rates is available for every day of the week from 8am to 6pm, and jobs outside working hours are considered on a case-by-case basis. Please recall that Rover does not allow sitters to block off specific times on their calendar, so availability on a given day does not guarantee availability at a very specific time until we discuss and confirm.
