Care, comfort, and confidence!

Pet care experience

I absolutely love the company of any type of pet and it is my goal to make your fur baby feel at home while you are away! I have loved animals since before I could walk or talk, and getting to spend time with and care for animals is my passion. I have two dogs and two cats of my own at home, and cared for family pets all throughout my life. I was one of the very first Rover sitters in the Lincoln (and surrounding) area, and have years of experience caring for pets in many shapes and sizes! Activities include but are not limited to, playing indoors/outdoors with toys, going on walks, and lots of love and cuddles. I do have experience administering medications if needed; both from several past/recurring clients via Rover and also from my own pets. I also will always have my car in case of emergencies. I would love to stick to your pet(s)’ regular routine, so please let me know what their normal day-to-day looks like while I would be caring for them—and I will be sure to send you photo updates and details of our daily activities! Please do not hesitate to ask any questions! Thank you, and I can't wait to meet you and your pets! I do work full time on weekdays, which typically has me in my office from 8am until 5 or 6pm. Depending on the distance from my office, I’m more than happy to drop by if needed over my lunch break. I have no problems coming before and after work to meet the needs of your pets. I have the weekends off, which means more time for snuggles and play! I am all about following the normal routine of your pet(s) while you are away, so you/they feel the most comfortable! Please let me know if I can be of further assistance in my complimentary services such as watering plants, collecting mail/packages, etc.

Markita is an amazing dog sitter and dog walker. She’s professional, reliable and wonderful with our pups. They are always thrilled to see her and we are thrilled we can always count on her to take great care of them!

Marikita was wonderful. Lacee warmed up to her immediately. Even though it was dark, they went on good long walks, with Lacee leading!! I loved the pictures she sent back to me. Thank you Kita.

Information Marikita P. would like to know about your pet

Do your pets have any limitations such as being allowed on furniture, if they should/shouldn’t be picked up, or any other specifications/restrictions/training that you would like me to reinforce? What is their feeding/medication schedule? Do they have any major likes/dislikes that I should be aware of? What are their favorite activities, and what would help to make you/them feel most comfortable while you are away?

A typical day

It is always hard to leave pets at home, and it is my firm belief that sticking to their regular routine helps create comfort for both you and your fur babies to give them the best sense of normalcy until you return! I love going for walks around my clients’ neighborhoods or nearby trails, or cuddling and giving lots of pets and love at home! It’s totally in my nature to do mini photo shoots of your pets and love to send you fun pictures of them while we play and spend time together.
