I've known Marie for 9 years, and I can testify that she's the kind of person that truly cares about animals, for example, she used to rescue sea turtles when she was little. Also, she's always taken great care of all the pets she's had, they have 3 dogs at her parents' place and they love her, when she visits, she plays with them, bathes them, takes them for walks, gives them their medicine if they get sick, etc. She also adopted a cat (Dana) 6 years ago, and has refused to not take her with her even when she's had to move to different cities or countries. No matter how busy she is, Marie plays with Dana everyday, she also takes care of brushing her hair, clipping her nails when needed, and cleaning the litter box. All in all, Marie is very good with pets, specially cats and dogs, she knows how to be around them and how to take care of all their basic needs and would highly recommend her as a pet sitter.
