Hi! I'm Marcia and I have a lot of extra free time as I'm currently spending the summer in the Netherlands with family before continuing my travels later this year. I enjoy spending my free time exploring cities, getting out into nature, and going on long walks—that's why I thought this was the perfect opportunity to combine my love of the outdoors with my love of animals and start dog walking. Although I grew up with cats as pets, I always wished we also had dogs. Over the years I've regularly looked after and walked friends' and family members' dogs of all different shapes and sizes, and loved getting to know each dog's unique personality. I'm a patient and caring person who believes walks should be enjoyable for your dog. If they want to stop and sniff every interesting scent along the way, I'm happy to let them explore at their own pace. For energetic dogs, I'm always up for a game of fetch or running around on the beach to help them burn off some energy. If I'm caring for your pet in your home, you can count on me to be respectful, clean, considerate, and reliable. I know how much trust it takes to leave your beloved pet with someone else, and I'll treat both your home and your furry family member with the same care and respect that I would my own. I'm currently spending my summer cat sitting for various family members but I'm also available to house sit while you're away and help care for your precious pets. I'm also available most days during the day to take your dog on walks anywhere from 30 minutes to multiple hours if your dogs likes and is capable of it (I always carry a waterbottle and bowl with me for them). If your dog loves the beach as much as I do, I'd also love to keep them company during the day when it's nice weather and spend some hours playing and chilling by the water while you're at work. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pet and provide them with a safe, loving, and fun experience while you're away.
