Highlights
Pet care experience
Fulltime care in a love FILLED home
My 20 years of pet care experience includes animals with shy personalities, separation anxiety, special routines, disability, and unique comfort needs. I believe that taking things slow, letting pets warm up at their own pace, and always focusing on helping them feel secure, supported, and at home is key to all successful experiences. Over the years, I’ve owned/cared for: • Nervous or timid dogs • Dogs new to boarding • Senior pets • Puppies with extra needs • Cats who prefer quiet, predictable routines • Small pets requiring delicate handling and extra supervision • Administering medication (oral, topical, injections, etc.) • Adhering to special requirements, such as, special dietary needs Since childhood, I've been a lover of all animals. In the past I have owned/cared for dogs, cats, smaller pets like rabbits, birds, hamsters, and more. I’m gentle, observant, loving, and tuned into body language. If your pet needs a bit of extra reassurance, snuggles, space, or one-on-one time, I’m able and happy to provide it. Connecting with each animal and learning their unique personality gives me great joy. I take pride in delivering gentle, comfortable, and secure companionship during each interaction where your precious pet can relax and feel truly at home 🏡💞

Ratings and reviews
Ella seemed to have enjoyed her time with Marquita (Ella fell asleep as soon as I put her in her car seat). Marquita was very accommodating with the times, and her two children I met were so cute!
I was visiting Clearwater and there were a few places I couldn’t bring my baby, Zasha, with me. Marquita was a lifesaver and took such great care of her! She kept me updated and returned Zasha to me happy, healthy, and safe. I’m so grateful for her help and would absolutely trust her with Zasha again. Highly recommend Marquita
Thank you for taking such good care of Olaf, and being flexible with our schedules!!
Pumpkin was in good hands with Marquita and her family while I was away-thank you! 😺
Very attentive, communicative and caring. Would recommend.
Marquita was wonderful! She sent lots of pics and provided a detailed account of our puppy, Merlin's, first night with her. This helped us immensely with our worries about leaving him with a new sitter. We already booked another stay with her.

Schedule
Pet care has always been part of the natural flow in our home. As a stay-at-home Mama, with family pets, tending to animals accounts for a large part of my daily routine. Each day our pets (and guests) enjoy outdoor time/walks, feedings, relaxation, 1:1 play, social time, and unlimited snuggles! Being home full-time allows me the opportunity to provide consistent attention, love, and care to the animals 💕

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I aim to fulfill each animal's individual needs while always prioritizing their owner's instructions and preferences. Being home full-time allows me to give each pet the attention and consistency they need to feel safe and happy while you're away. Your pet will never go an extended period without their caregiver/new BFF around! Throughout the week, I rotate toys, plan extra playtime, and reset each dedicated space for quiet time, solitude, and rest. Our home is full of love, laughter, and animal companionship — a warm, safe space where every pet can relax and feel like part of the family. Our home is located at the end of a residential culdesac and has a large back yard with fence. Whether caring for your pet(s) in your home or mine, you can count on each interaction being fueled by my genuine passion for all animals and their families; forming bonds and building trust through a foundation of communication, respect, and reliability.
