Life long animal owner, loves pets

Pet care experience

I’ve had pets all my life (dogs, cats, rabbits, fish). When I was in high school and college I dog/ cat sat and dog walked for friends and neighbors. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I am able to give oral and topical medication, as well as mobility help for older dogs. I have a two year old Labrador and a dog savvy cat.

Marvin was excellent with my 2 senior pugs and kept me updated with texts and pictures! She even checked in on our irritable cat from the other side of the gate :)

I love bringing my pup to Marvin’s. She is very attentive and sends me a lot of pictures during the day. Koda loves to play with her 2 dogs and the best part is he is so excited to go there! She always tells me how his day went.

Lovely to work with, real dog person. My cocker spaniel used to need daily walks and she was great. Made a connection with my quirky cocker spaniel and was always ready with a treat or praise. I recommend her.

Hello! Marvin has been a great pet sitter for my family. She has watched our golden retriever mix multiple times and she was great. She has no problem with big dogs and really gets to know their personalities. Quick to confirm plans and flexible with scheduling. Great experience and my dog loved her!

Information Marvin W. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know your dogs feeding and potty schedule so I can stay consistent and reinforce your training. I also would love to know if your pet gets along with other animals on walks and inside. Any special treats or activities they love! And of course any important medical information ( allergies, sensitivities, excerise limitations). I accept fixed dogs and unaltered puppies under four months. Thank you for understanding!

A typical day

I believe keeping a dog mentally interested and physically active is key for a great pet sitting experience. I love taking walks with dogs, my house also has a large fenced yard and a near . I also have lots of interactive toys including Kong chewers, nylabones and frisbees/balls. I also would love to help with training! Then maybe a belly rub or snuggles!
