Pet care experience

Never met an animal I didn't love!

I have always loved animals of all kinds. Growing up I had dogs (Collie & Shelties), several cats, horses, even rats! Our animals were always well-loved and spoiled rotten (in a good way of course!) I have taken care of dogs for friends and clients who are extremely anxious when their people are gone, so I always ensured they get plenty of love and attention. I have given both cats and dogs medications they have needed (pills and injections). I love spending time with animals and making sure they are loved and well taken care of until their people return. My schedule is very flexible. Also, as a photographer I'm open to taking photos and videos to give you updates on your pet to show you your pet is happy and comfortable while you are away. I always joke, "You're not hiring a pet sitter who loves photography, you're hiring a photographer who loves to pet sit!"

Marsha was wonderful with our two dogs. I really appreciated the communication while we were out of town. It was always a peace of mind to know she was there to check on the dogs.

I can’t recommend Marsha highly enough! She was thoughtful, communicative, and clearly has a natural way with animals. My dogs absolutely loved spending time with her, which was evident from the wonderful photos she shared and how happy and relaxed they were when I got home. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands. I’ll definitely be booking with Marsha again!

My dog is anxious, especially with strangers. Marsha knew exactly how to give him the right balance of love and space. I'm very satisfied with her services.

Drop-In Visits • Jun 06, 2026

Marsha did a wonderful job during her one-hour drop-in visit with our dog. She arrived right on time and immediately demonstrated how comfortable and experienced she is with animals. Our dog was a little excited and barking when she first arrived, but Marsha remained calm, confident, and patient, quickly helping our dog settle down and feel comfortable. Throughout the visit, she kept us updated with pictures, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from the photos that our dog was happy, relaxed, and enjoying the visit. Marsha’s professionalism and genuine connection with animals really stood out. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.

Prompt and reliable service. Arrived on time and was very prepared to learn about the dog’s need. I wound up not needing her for the full day, but appreciated the communication.

Schedule

I make sure they get lots of play, food and potty time before leaving and usually try to leave them a treat or something to keep them occupied while I am gone. I always check with the owner to be sure treats or bones are okay to leave with them when I am out of the house.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Marsha can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I would like to know their needs if they don’t like certain things, what they absolutely do love. Their behavior, personality, any medical needs, etc. I do have a sitter sheet that I provide to owners for them to give me any necessary information.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
