Dog lover ready to love your pet

I’ve been taking care of and owning dogs, and recently cats, since I was in high school. I have raised and trained dogs from puppyhood into their elder years, and taken care of sick and special needs animals. I have a very flexible schedule as well.

Marna was reliable and took great care of our kitties while we were away. She also went out of her way to open a plant delivery that arrived late and watered it for me, which was really appreciated. We would definitely recommend her.

This was my first time leaving Mini since her diabetes diagnosis - and I was anxious. While much better controlled, her blood sugar still can rapidly change causing aggressive behavior. I shared all this information with Marna and her response was empathy for Mini's situation. Marna also monitored Mini's blood sugar with via the app and Mini's glucose monitor. (Which allowed me to also monitor) Marna did GREAT with Mini (and with me)! By the start of day two, Mini was snuggling with Marna. Marna kept me up to date via text messages and photos. It is difficult to find someone to watch a dog with special needs, but Marna was a great find!

Marna took great care of Ollie, and was very easy to work with. Would definitely rebook in the future.

Marna was able to provide last-minute cat sitting, which was a huge help, and made the process easy and straightforward. She was very responsive and shared updates and photos from her visits. I appreciated her help and definitely recommend her for cat sitting needs!

Safety, trust & environment

I would prefer to take care of pets at the clients home, or outside. I have a large, semi-fenced in yard and always keep an eye out. I will not leave the dog alone to ensure their safety and frequently play with them to avoid boredom.

A typical day

In the morning, I would begin with feeding if necessary and a morning walk. I would cuddle and play with your dog frequently and as much as they desire. I would also do multiple other walks and activities throughout the day such as hikes, swims and other fun, stimulating activities.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or care requirements, so I can do my best to accommodate them. My favorite are smaller dogs but I love all dogs and cats. I’d prefer to avoid dogs with aggression or biting behaviors.
