Pet care experience

Flexible and AFFORDABLE animal care

Every 10th stay is completely FREE! I love to give belly rubs and ear scratches. I’ve been caring for various pets most of my life but most of my experience is with dogs and birds! I’m comfortable caring for snakes, guinea pigs, and even the pet goldfish lol! I have a house with a fenced in yard. **ANY VISITING PUPS ARE REQUIRED TO BRING A KENNEL IN THE EVENT I NEED TO STEP OUT (SORRY). Everyone is welcome on the furniture for snuggle time! I have hosted big and small dogs for short term and extended periods of time for friends, family, and neighbors. Being a pet parent I know the struggle of finding a trustworthy sitter who will give your baby the same love and attention you’d give. My promise to you is to give your baby the special care they need while you’re away to make sure they don’t feel too sad or lonely! My home is pretty chill. I have a baby but she isn’t crawling around yet. If your baby needs more action I’m more than willing go out back to play or even take them on a walk to burn some energy! I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I am comfortable with administering meds if needed or working with a dog with special dietary needs. My prices are always flexible for extended stays or multiple visits for check ins. I work at a school so I am not home during the day and my availability fluctuates based on school breaks (perfect for your family vacations). My home is always available for overnight stays and drop ins may be an option depending on my schedule. During school breaks my home will be open for daycare.

Marquita T. Was an excellent sitter, very responsive. She sent pictures that calmed my mother's nerve. If we're ever in the area again we will definitely book her again.

Marqita is amazing and extremely accomodating. She communicated often giving me updates and feedback regarding my poodle puppy. Her home is inviting and I felt comfortable with her.

Marqita was Awesome. Felt like I left my fur baby with the best Tee Tee. No worries. Well worth the peace of mind. Sent pictures and updates. Very nice person and home. Highly recommend.

Schedule

I work at a school which means I’ll be gone during the daytime when school is in session. My weekends are totally open and I’m usually home the entire day. When I’m home the dogs usually hang on the couch with me or we go walking around the neighborhood.

Safety, trust & environment

I give all visitors the same love and care I would want for mine. I’ve got a fenced in yard and I closely monitor all pets in my care. I also make sure to ask about any behavior, medical, or safety issues at drop off each time to make sure I’m aware of any changes or other important information.

A typical day

I adjust my activity level according to your fur baby’s needs. If they are just couch potatoes we can do that, but if they need a bit more fun we can get outside too!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
No females in heat
Crate-trained dogs only
Marqita can host up to 2 pets per night
I have a small child so it’s important that your pet plays well with others! I really like to get in a meet and greet beforehand to make sure you feel comfortable and your baby is somewhat familiar with me and we can discuss routines and habits. **ANY VISITING PUPS ARE REQUIRED TO BRING A KENNEL IN THE EVENT I NEED TO STEP OUT (SORRY).
