Highlights
Pet care experience
On-call Dog Extraordinaire 🐾
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 🐾

Wow what a great dog sitter. Punctual. Friendly. Trustworthy and great with our puppy. He loved her. Highly recommended
Marni is so calm and confident with people and pets! Gave us confidence to set up weekly play dates with our pups! So grateful for Marni’s care!
Marni showed up on time and looked after our puppy well. I would recommend
Marni was exceptional with blizzard , they went on huge long hikes and blizz would come home tired and happy! She truly loves what she does and you can see it!
Marni was punctual, professional and Loki loved her. Very happy with the terrific service
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.
