Marjorie filled a challenging job description at no cost to me other than giving me complete peace of mind while I vacationed on the other side of Mexico. The house sit/ pet sit would have been an easy one with care of an indoor/outdoor cat named Tiggy and an older pug named Bella. Minimal walking needed, easy to feed both, no special care needed BUT THEN I rescued an adult BIG dog 3 weeks before my week away and need for a pet sitter. Good heartedly Marjorie accepted the challenge which added a whole different dimension to the "sit." Canelo, the big red dog, wanted to eat my cat and probably would have bit Bella's head off had she approached his feeding bowl! Marjorie successfully followed a routine of feeding animals that kept them all safe and out of each others' reach and gave medicine each evening to the rescue dog for a tick borne disease he had acquired during his years of abandonment on a busy street in Mexico. She took the dogs on 3 walks a day, actually basically more like 5 to 6 walks as she did a short walk early AM as Bella, at 13 yrs old, just wanted a walk around the block and then to eat and sleep. After their breakfast she took Canelo on a long walk and did this 2 to 3 more times a day and still fit in the short walks with the older pug. Besides caring for my furry friends exceptionally well, Marjorie really liked them. House was immaculate when I returned to it after my week away. Furry friends and garden all in tip top shape. Marjorie is an absolute GEM! Jill j4hanna@gmail.com
