About Marshai P.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
As a veterinary technician, safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow each pet owner’s instructions, including feeding routines, walk preferences, and any specific care needs. I’m attentive to behavior and body language to ensure pets are comfortable and secure at all times. I’m experienced with crating if requested and always make sure pets are in a clean, calm, and safe environment. You can trust that your pet will be cared for with both attention and professional awareness.
Information Marshai P. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about any special needs, medical conditions, or behaviors your pet may have so I can provide the best care possible. This includes medications, dietary restrictions, allergies, or any routines they’re used to. I’d also love to know how your pet does with other animals, their energy level, and anything that helps them feel more comfortable, such as favorite toys or habits. The more I know, the better I can make their experience stress free and familiar.
A typical day
A typical day includes walks, playtime, and making sure your pet stays on their normal routine. I enjoy engaging pets both physically and mentally, whether that’s walks, interactive toys, or simply giving them attention and companionship. If approved, I’m happy to incorporate outings like dog parks, but I always prioritize your pet’s comfort level and safety first.

Pet care experience
Veterinary technician with 5+ years of clinical veterinary experience and 11+ years of hands-on animal care. I bring more than a love for animals. I bring professional experience caring for pets with a wide range of medical, behavioral, and everyday needs. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets, anxious pets, special-needs pets, and pets who require medications or closer monitoring. My clinical background has taught me to notice subtle changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and overall wellbeing that can easily be missed. I’m reliable, attentive, and comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Whether your pet needs overnight companionship, routine care, or a little extra attention while you’re away, my priority is keeping them safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment.
Reviews
Marshai always does such an awesome job with my boy, Charlie. He’s so relaxed with her (which makes me relaxed), he doesn’t even notice me leaving! 100% as always, thank you!!
Marshai is one of the best people I know and I would 100% trust her with my pets. Marshai is caring, compassionate, and hard-working and will make sure she caters to each pet's individual needs. She has a lot of experience in veterinary nursing and knows how to support pets that may be anxious or nervous without their owner with them or care for pets who may need medications. Overall, she is a great, dependable person who will take care of your pets like they were her own!
Hello my fellow fur parents! I highly recommend Marshai for all services provided. She is attentive, knowledgeable, patient, and the best yet - EXPERIENCED. She's been helping me with my Lolita (Loulu) for about 4 years now. She came into my dogs life at old age, which most dogs when older aren't always open to new things and/or people. However, there was something about the way she accepted Marshai and now they are inseparable! I've always struggled with clipping her nails and adjusting to her periodic incontinence, but she came on in and saved the day with some really awesome techniques she learned from all her years in the animal field and made Loulu feel comfortable and able to trust her to do things she clearly wouldn't let me (or that I was too afraid to do in fear of hurting her). Not only does she cooperate when getting her nails clipped now, but there has also been a decrease in the amount of accidents she would have before or after her walks. Did I also mention she's taken a liking to Marshai's preferred music genres? When they go for walks she tends to send me videos, Loulu likes to sun bathe so sometimes they will stop to sit at the park and listen to music. She is so client focused and will take care of your pet like its her own. She was even willing to take on the responsibility of making her a fresh meal as my dog prefers chicken, rice, and veggies. On the days where Marshai isn't around I swear Loulu takes notice and somewhat takes it out on me as if I sent her away lol but that just goes to show that she makes a good impression on people, but most of all... pets. Thanks Marshai for your service! Keep on rockin' girl! - Matty "Woof!" -Loulu <3
What makes Marshai a special person for this position to care for anyone's fur baby is that MY PETS TRUST HER and you know what they say, Animals can tell you so much about a person and ALL 3 canines love her and most days they don't want to leave her after the amazing day they had. what makes her a plus is that she works in the veterinary field, knowing that piece of information about her sets me at ease since both my dogs are in the geriatric stage of life and I have 1 growing puppy who needs all the energy out of his system. She updates me when she takes them out which includes pictures, videos, and also potty breaks. My bully mix Jade always needs that extra Tender, Love and Care and I'm always impressed that she can help me out with giving Jade her topical and oral medications for her allergies, along with being mindful of her arthritis in her back legs. My dachshund has back issues and his personality is an introvert, never in my years seen him welcome someone in and take fond to someone, he usual is an ankle biter and a barker. My mastiff puppy just turned 1 years old and he is a huge dog with tons of energy. When he see's Marshai he just wants to get on his hind legs and hug her from eye sight but she got familiar with training commands and knows how to handle him when they are both out and about. When all my dogs come back home to me, tired and most importantly happy, they don't ever want their day to end when she takes care of them. They are always ready for an adventure or a relaxing day with her. She has patience, her customer service is outstanding, eager to have an open mind on what my dogs are like, consistent, a trusting human, educational and helpful when I need her the most for medicating my dogs. The proof is in my dogs for all the care she provides and now it looks like I may need to book her for more days spent just for my own dogs sanity. The world needs to know what she does and I'm glad she is expanding herself to care for anyone else's pet other than my own. Thank you for the care you provide, it truly is one in a million and feeling WORRY-FREE is the BEST FEELING TO HAVE when all 3 are under her care.
