Safe, Loving Care While You're Away
Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs gave me a deep understanding of the unique bond between pets and their families. As an adult, I spent six wonderful years caring for my own Standard Poodle, which taught me the nuances of high-energy breeds, regular grooming needs, and the importance of daily mental stimulation. What sets me apart is the same dedication I bring to my role as a leader and a parent. I approach pet care with patience, reliability, and a keen eye for detail. Whether it’s maintaining a consistent routine, ensuring safety, or simply providing extra cuddles, I treat every dog in my care with the same love and attention I would give my own. You can trust that your furry family member is in capable, caring hands.

Ratings and reviews
Marquita and her kids are the kind of people I’d trust with a dog without thinking twice. Their dog Romeo was very much part of the family .... and, judging by the amount of love and attention he received, possibly the favorite child. They’re gentle, caring, responsible, and genuinely love animals. Any dog staying with them wouldn’t just be looked after... they’d probably come home slightly spoiled, expecting better service, and wondering why you don’t treat them like Marquita and the kids do. 😂 Any dog in their care is guaranteed plenty of love, attention, and probably a few extra cuddles! 10/10 would trust them with a pup!
We truly had a great experience! Reliable, communicative, and took excellent care of our dog while we were away. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Everything went smoothly from start to finish and we would absolutely book again. Highly recommend!
Marquita is very attentive to details. She shows compassion, nurturing, and flexibility. Marquita has cared for many different breeds of dogs including her own dog Romy.
Marquita was absolutely wonderful with my two energetic Labs! She was loving, attentive, and dependable, and I always felt comfortable knowing they were in her care. It was clear that she genuinely cared about them and treated them like they were her own. I would definitely trust Marquita with my dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone responsible and caring.
I highly recommend Marquita for dog sitting! She is extremely responsible, reliable, and organized, and I would feel completely comfortable trusting her with my dog. Marquita grew up around dogs and is very comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and temperaments. She is attentive, patient, and genuinely enjoys being around them. Her home is pet-friendly, and her kids absolutely love dogs, so your furry friend would be welcomed and cared for like part of the family. Marquita is someone you can count on to follow instructions, pay attention to your pet’s needs, and provide a safe, loving environment. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter!
I can’t recommend Marquita enough! She takes such good care of our 2 pups, and they absolutely love her. She sends frequent updates with pictures throughout the day. I feel I can always have peace of mind if I’m out of town, knowing they are in good hands.

I work from home 3 out of 5 days. I don't live far from my office, so on the days I work in the office, I can come home for walks.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When hosting pets in my home, my top priority is creating a safe, welcoming, and calm environment. I believe that a dog’s comfort comes from consistency and genuine care, which is why I prioritize maintaining your pet's established routines regarding feeding, exercise, and rest. My home is perfectly set up for active and happy dogs. We have a decent-sized, secure yard for quick outdoor play, and we are located in a highly walkable neighborhood with easy access to local parks and trails, perfect for daily sniff-and-stretch walks. What makes my home unique is that your pet will be part of our family. My 4-year-old child is a huge animal lover who enjoys helping with gentle care, like supervised playtime and giving treats. Because my child is so involved, I am very intentional about ensuring that every dog I host is comfortable around children and that interactions are always calm, supervised, and positive. Whether it’s a quiet afternoon of belly rubs or an energetic walk on a nearby trail, I ensure every guest feels right at home. You can rest easy knowing your pet is in a secure, loving environment where they will be treated like one of our own.
A typical day
I know every dog has their own idea of a "fun day," and I love tailoring my care to your pet's personality. Whether your dog is a high-energy athlete who needs a vigorous game of fetch, or a more relaxed companion who prefers a leisurely sniff-walk and some gentle playtime, I'll make sure they get the physical and mental stimulation they need. I'm very comfortable with all energy levels and sizes, and I'm always happy to follow any specific play routines you already have in place.
