Pet care experience

Very gentle and patient person.

I have cared for dogs for many years. I have one of my own, a little rescue Chihuhua boy. He is lots of fun. I also have 2 cats; all rescues. If there is a need to care for both dog and cat I would do well with that. I have many positive reviews that I will post on Rover. I am a quiet, patient and consistent caregiver.

Marnie was great with my dog and cat - they took to her right away, and when she stopped by later they greeted her with affection. She was careful with my house and I appreciated that! Definitely would ask her to pet/housesit again.

Marnie took great care of our two dogs and our home while we were traveling for the Fourth of July weekend. She stuck to their schedule and always fed them and took them out on time and was very communicative throughout her stay. She also sent us lots of photos. Would highly recommend Marnie and book her again!

Marnie is a very compassionate person, who loves animals and people! She has cared for our cat several times, both at her place when he was younger, and pet sitting at our place now that he is older. She goes out of her way to make sure the pets are well taken care of. She is reliable and honest.

Marnie first started pet sitting for me in 2012. I traveled a bit and she was always available. I’ve never had to use anyone else all these years. I know her to be a person who cares deeply about animals. When she first started pet sitting for me, I had two cats, and I was amazed that even though I could be gone as much as 10 days, when I got home, they acted like I’d just been to the store! So, I knew they were well taken care of. Both those cats are now gone, and I have a new one now. She helped him adjust when I first got him. Marnie is dependable; she stays in communication the whole time I’m gone. She sends pictures, videos etc. and calls if necessary. That way I can relax knowing that he’s doing well. Also, Marnie is someone all my cats have liked…it was obvious when she first visited before my first trip. Now I have a newer cat and he likes her also.

We were referred to Marnie by a neighbor and she has been wonderful. She came to meet our Kitty before we left on vacation which was very helpful. Marnie sent us pictures daily to show us some of the activity. She brought toys from home to help entertain our Kitty. She was very reliable, punctual and reasonable. We will definitely use her assistance in the future.
