Safety, trust & environment

Every dog I care for becomes part of my family. I provide walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles, making sure they have a safe, comfortable space to relax. I follow their usual routines, whether that’s lounging on their couch, resting in their crate, or engaging in activities. I’m happy to help with anything that makes them feel most at home, including discussing any medication needs in advance to ensure their care is safe and consistent.

A typical day

A typical day with me is tailored to each pup while keeping their normal routines intact. If they enjoy a morning walk, playtime with their favorite toys, or quiet rest periods, I make sure those habits stay consistent. I like to focus on meeting each dog’s energy level. That could mean walks and active play for high-energy pups or calm companionship for more relaxed ones. Throughout the day, I make sure they’re happy, engaged, and enjoying plenty of treats and affection, so it feels like a little vacation for them too while you’re away.

Care You Can Count On 🐾💛

Pet care experience

Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with three schnauzers and have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all kinds. From pups to senior dogs, shy pups like Luna, playful rescues like Moose, and spunky dogs like Pippa, I have loved getting to know them all. I have experience with feeding, administering medications, and maintaining consistent daily routines. My patient and attentive approach helps me connect with all types of dogs. I love giving them plenty of playtime, cuddles, and walks; one wag at a time 🐾

Marnay is a recent college graduate who has proven herself to be highly disciplined, ethical, conscientious and reliable. She has daily interaction with my Yorkie and provides full care for her when I am out of town. Additionally, Marnay has lived in a home with Schnauzers, and is always kind and patient with them. She has acquired an awareness of each pet's habits, their dietary schedule, always making their safety her priority. Her exposure with pets in the home is a resounding testament to her comfort and ability to care for any pet. She does not shy away from brushing, feeding, walking and cuddling. I can assure any pet owner that Marnay is highly capable and will give you the peace of mind that you need to leave your pet with a sitter, or to simply take them for daily walks. If you are seeking a trustworthy pet sitter to give care to your dog; I strongly recommend that you consider hiring Marnay.
