Pet care experience

WFH pet lover giving 1:1 attention

Hi! I’m Marwa, I grew up in an animal lover home and I've been caring for a wide variety of pets my whole life. Now that I'm grown up I live alone in a studio apartment and work from home full-time with no pets of my own. I travel a lot but when I'm home I am available 24/7 for all your pet needs! I only take in one pet at a time to make sure they get the love, attention, and snuggles they deserve. I’m especially great with anxious or shy pets. I have a calm, gentle energy that helps them feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s just sitting close or giving them space, I go at their pace and build trust pretty fast. I genuinely love creating a home-away-from-home experience. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pet like their own, I’m your person.

Super grateful and happy with everything Marwa did for our cat while we were on vacation. This was our first long term trip and weren’t able to bring our cat. Marwa provided pictures and videos that comforted us while away. She went above and beyond for our kitty!

My second time booking with Marwa and she was amazing! Mika always has a good time with her :) My flight got delayed and she was willing to push pick up time a bit and was super accommodating. Thank you so much!

This was my first time using rover. Marwa was great. Her home was cozy and I felt very comfortable leaving my cat there. I got multiple photos and videos everyday and I could tell my cat was very relaxed and comfortable. Will definitely be booking again!

We had another wonderful experience with Marwa. She’s attentive, reliable, and genuinely caring. Pippa came home happy and relaxed, and we appreciate the peace of mind she gives us.

Marwa was amazing with my kitty boy Salem. She genuinely cares about the animal she’s hosting. She took the time to learn all about Salem, his quirks, needs, and personality. My cat warmed up to her super quick, and had a great time staying with her and getting lots of love and attention. She kept me updated with daily pics and videos of Salem enjoying his home away from home :) Will be rebooking with her 100%

Schedule

I work remotely from home full-time, so when I’m not traveling, I’m available to be with your pet all day. My calendar is always up to date so if it shows I’m available, that means I’m home and fully present. I can provide plenty of cuddle time, play breaks, and frequent walks outside for dogs. Your pet will never be left alone or short on attention.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a cozy, quiet studio apartment in the suburbs with no other pets, so your cat or dog will get my full attention and care. For cats, there’s plenty of space to explore, play, or curl up for cuddles. For dogs, I go on regular walks in a calm, pet-friendly neighborhood with lots of green space. I keep my home clean, calm, and pet-safe with no toxic plants so your pet will be comfortable and secure during their stay.

A typical day

For cats, I’ll bring out the toys to play often, and give them cuddles until they purr. For dogs, we’ll take relaxing walks around the neighborhood, play fetch, or just hang out together with lots of belly rubs. Whether your pet is energetic or more laid-back, I’ll follow their lead and make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved.

Cats
Takes only 1 client at a time
Marwa can host up to 1 pet per night
I’d love to know anything that helps your pet feel safe and comfortable especially their routine, personality, and any quirks I should be aware of. Are they shy or energetic? Do they have favorite toys? Let me know about any medical needs, allergies, or things that make them anxious so I can make their stay as smooth and stress-free as possible.
