Information Marta "MJ" J. would like to know about your pet

Every pet has unique likes and dislikes. Let’s go over both so I can ensure a stress-free experience for them during my visits. My goal is for both your pets and you to feel safe and comfortable.

Tailored Pet Care You Can Trust

Pet care experience

Compassionate Pet Care Tailored to Your Furry (and Scaly) Family I’m a work-from-home pet parent with a flexible schedule to help with your pets while you are away. I specialize in caring for cats, dogs, and even small critters like bearded dragons. My fiancé and I share our home with two cats (5 & 7 years old), a 7-year-old bearded dragon, and a 3-year-old blue-nose American bully. I know firsthand the challenges of finding someone who can provide the same level of care and attention you give your pets. Each one has unique needs and personalities, and I’m here to cater my visits to theirs. As a fellow pet parent, I understand the importance of having a trusted support system, especially when you're away. My goal is to ease your mind by ensuring your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you're gone. With years of experience fostering for a rescue in Bellingham, house sitting for friends, and volunteering at shelters, I have a deep love for animals. My home is also a favorite stop for neighborhood cats seeking snuggles! I can’t wait to meet you and your pets – let's connect soon!

MJ takes such great care of our cats. They are so soft from being brushed while we're away, and very happy when we return. We give MJ 5 stars all around!

Our experience with MJ was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. She took such thoughtful and attentive care of our cat, and it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We received regular updates, including messages and photos, which made it clear that our cat was not only well cared for, but genuinely comfortable and happy. MJ’s communication was truly outstanding — prompt, thorough, and proactive. We never had to wonder how things were going, which is such a gift when you’re away from home. On top of that, we came back to a spotless house. Everything eas exactly that way we left it, which was such a pleasant surprise after traveling. We feel incredibly grateful to have found someone so reliable, kind, and detail-oriented. We would absolutely trust MJ again and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for top-notch care for their home and pets.

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.
