Pro Animal Lover

I have had animals my whole life and have a passion and love for them. Getting to take care and play with them on my days off is a joy. I have had pets that range from a Mastiff to French Bulldogs and even reptiles of all kinds. In my younger years I was a dog groomer as well so I have experience with many dogs from many backgrounds. I will treat your animals with the same love and care that I treat my own. I currently have a small zoo of 14 pets, each one very loved and cared for. I am comfortable with all animals. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, small rodents and reptiles. I am willing to work with dogs that have special needs or medical care as well. My nursing background helps me to carry it over to your furry friends. I will show as much care and compassion to your furry companions as I do my patients. They will have my focus and attention while caring for them.

I make sure to treat your fur babies like my own. They will get as much love an attention possible. I love to keep you updated with daily messages and pictures. I would be willing to do things you need around the house while you are gone such as bringing in mail, taking out garbage bins, watering plants, and making sure your home is the same as you left it!

Marnie house sat for me during a week-long vacation that I took recently. I had read Marnie's reviews and was excited to meet someone with such a wealth of experience with all kinds of animals. I felt Marnie's positive energy immediately when I met her at our meet and greet. My dog, Cookie, and my cat, Lula, responded to her warmth and energy as soon as she walked in. Marnie made a very careful note of everything about Cookie's and Lula's routines and everything necessary to care for my place. She kept in touch with me during the whole week, sending me fabulous daily photos of Cookie and Lula, and keeping a careful eye on both of them since they were off their food at the start of the week. Cookie was very stressed on the first day, adjusting to someone new, but his stress disappeared as soon as Marnie reassured him ever so gently that everything was OK. If I could give Marnie 10 stars for all that she did for Cookie, Lula and me, I would do it!! I am very excited and looking forward to having Marnie take care of my little ones every time I go away!!! I will always know that they are in such experienced, professional and caring hands. Thank you Marnie!!!

Marnie was great! She was clear with her schedule and very respectful of our comfortability (it was our first time using Rover). Would definitely book her again!

Marnie was awesome and attentive to my one year old pup. She has clear experience with doggie discipline techniques which was a plus as well. I felt very comfortable knowing Marnie was with my dog at home and maintaining our routine-even when she reported she had come down with a bad cold! Thank you Marnie, hope we can work together again!

Marnie was great with my two older cats! One has several medications, and Marnie navigated it with ease. She went above and beyond by watering my plants, and always made sure I knew my animals were well taken care of. Would rebook with her.

Marnie was AMAZING!!!! We have a 5 year old Bernese Mountain Dog and a 16 week old Leonberger puppy. She gave both of them love and care to the fullest. The puppy is a TON of work because we are still working on getting him 100% house trained. Marnie was so helpful to keep the puppy on a schedule to avoid accidents in the house. She stayed with both dogs 24/7 so the puppy did not have to open long periods in his crate. This was TOP service to our pets!!!! We got TONS of pictures which I was so grateful to see the dogs settling in with Marnie on their walks and lounging on the couch enjoying relaxing time too. Our Bernese is VERY timid and takes A LOT to warm up to new people. Marnie took her time with her and within a day she was already getting pets from Marnie and laying near her when lounging. I could NOT thank her enough for staying an extra night when I could not catch my plane!! Thank you Marnie for a wonderful experience! You will be our forever sitter if you'll have us :).
