Please also tell me information about your dog that may be helpful to me (i.e. your dog is still being potty trained, your dog does not know the recall command, your dog sits at the door if they need to go outside etc.) so that I can ensure that you come home to a happy and healthy pup!

Pet care experience

While I live in Canada, I am unable to spend time with my beloved furry friends from home (Australia) 🇦🇺🦘. I have joined Rover because I am an avid dog lover wanting to fill my heart with your pets love! 🫶🏼 I have spent over 15 years with dogs, with much my time pet sitting and volunteering with dogs. I was previously an Animal Care Attendant in the dog adoptions centre at RSPCA in my hometown. ☀️I enjoy going on walks outdoors in all types of weather - rain, snow or shine 🐕‍🦺 I am force free and use positive reinforcements 🐕 Comfortable handling and walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments 📖 Educated in basic husbandry, handling and training techniques ⛑️ Currently completing Canine First Aid 🙋‍♀️Honest, trustworthy, reliable and courteous I have over 15 years pet sitting experience from taking care of my friends, families and neighbours pets. Some of these dogs suffered from anxiety and behavioural issues, which has helped me to develop an even deeper understanding and bond with these four-legged companions. It also allowed me to become more patient, adaptable, and accountable, which I feel is important in a role that requires a wide range of responsibilities. As a pet sitter 🏡 I check in with owners, report on and manage canine behaviours as well as taking photos and videos of the dogs to share with the owner. Working with dogs is such a rewarding experience and I want to continue working with dogs as they bring me so much joy. I will look after your pets as I would mine 🐾

I have needed someone to visit my cats off and on over the last few months. Marni is always very responsive, which makes my life much easier, and she does a great job of looking after them. I highly recommend her.
