Marie Pet Sitter

Marie

Pet Sitter/Animal Lover
Certified in Feline Communications

I am NJ native, most recently living in Cherry Hill, NJ. In 2011, I moved to Charlotte with my husband Bill, and our two kitties, Rosie and Rocket. My son had moved down here in 2006 for a job, and we decided to follow a few years later. We have been able to enjoy our grandchildren, and the more laid-back lifestyle down here. I have had cats most of my life, and love all animals. Sadly, we lost Rocket in 2014, and Rosie a month ago. So I am without a pet for the first time in years. While I’m sure there will be another cat or two in my future, I have decided to enjoy taking care of other people’s furry friends for the time being. I have volunteered at an animal rescue in the past and found that very rewarding. I look forward to caring for your pets; they will definitely get lots of “love and kisses”

My mom got me my first dog when she was pregnant with me and I have only been without one for a few years when I lived in an apartment.

I have also had rabbits, rats, a hamster and fish. I have a great love for all animals and I’m so excited to be a pet sitter. My family is originally from Pennsylvania but we have lived here since 2017. I’m currently raising 3 human children and one Labrador child named Max. I look forward to caring for all your babies!
