“Marcia is WONDERFUL and we would highly recommend her services! It provides us with a great sense of peace when we travel knowing he is in a loving environment and being cared for as if he were at home. He always looks forward to his visits, whether for a walk, daycare or overnight stay!”

“We have known Marcia for over 6 years and can attest to her loving care, exceptionally clean and safe accommodations, and excellent food and snacks, well my mom actually supplies some of that. At first, we did not like it when our Mom and Dad had to leave us, but once we had the opportunity to get to know Marcia, and the tender loving care she provides we really enjoy getting away for visits. She has a great backyard, and we have our own door to go outside. While we believe that we are easy to please, our Mom and Dad could not find any accommodations that met their standards to “board” us so we are even happier to have the great accommodations that Marcia provides. Well, we have to go, off to the groomer (hairdresser) for our wash, cut and blow dry.”

“Marcia goes above and beyond to take care of our 4 1/2 year old black lab. She treats him as one of her own. Whether it is a walk or an overnight visit, we know that Stanford is being loved and well cared for."

"Our dog Dixie was our first "baby" so we were so happy and relieved when we found Marcia to walk her and take care of her when we were out of town. Marcia treated Dixie like one of her own dogs, and we practically had to drag Dixie out of her house when we came home...she loved being there! We were so sad when we moved out of town...we'll never find someone like Marcia, she truly has a special way with animals!"

“Marcia has been our dog walker and pet sitter for nearly 7 years. She has truly become a part of our family, and our dogs absolutely ADORE her. She is kind and responsible. She has a true love for all animals like no one I have ever seen. We have one dog who is a rescue and had tremendous fear issues when we got her. Marcia went out of her way to help us with Layla - helping to train her to walk on the leash, easing her anxiety, and showering her with love and affection. Today she is a totally different dog. Marcia also house sits/pet sits for us - taking care of our dogs and 2 cats. She frequently goes above and beyond the call. I can highly recommend her to care for any animal.”

"Marcia has cared for my cat, Boots, for over 3 years. Her care and attention has allowed me to leave for vacation without worrying for my cats well being. No matter how many times Boots has hissed at her, Marcia has not given up on trying to gain her trust and love. During Marcia’s visits, she makes it a point to spend time with Boots and to ensure that everything is taken care of. For each visit, she scoops the litter box, refreshes the water, and cleans the food bowls. She also spends quality time with her and goes as far as sending me pictures of my cat while I’m away, which is such a wonderful surprise! Marcia is a professional and organized cat sitter and her love for animals is definitely demonstrated through her actions."

We are so thankful to have Marcia to give Hugo a break in the middle of the day. She treats him like her own dog, so kind and loving. Not to mention how excited he gets to see her. We met Marcia as she was walking our neighbor's dog, and we couldn't have met a better friend.

Marcia cares for my pets as if they were her own...I can go out of town rest assured and not worrying the whole time about something going awry. She has cared for my spunky, fiesty cat, and she has cared for my older senior dog who was on many different medications, had arthritis, and hard of hearing and seeing. Having her come over to your house allows your pet to feel at home in their surroundings, and that has worked well in the past. But I've also found that since she has a nice warm house and big backyard, that my pets have been able to get exposed to fun and stimulating things they wouldn't have otherwise....so in many ways, it's almost like they are the ones going on vacation! Marcia has also been a loyal and consistent dog walker for me for many years, and I know that when I'm at work my dog is happier and taken care of during the long day because of her. She is absolutely the #1 person in all of Chicago that I would trust with my pets!

Marcia has been walking my dog Rudy for over a year now and we are truly blessed to have someone who is not only extremely patient with my rambunctious golden retriever but truly has his best interest at heart. There was an incident when Rudy got a hold of a sponge and swallowed it. Because Marcia called me right away to tell me about this, she saved Rudy from having to have it surgically removed and saved my pocket book. J I have also used Marcia’s at home services and it’s so nice to know that my dog is being well cared for in a warm and loving home. He loves playing with the other dogs and even enjoy’s having some fun with Marcia’s cats. Thank you Marcia for being such a warm and kind person.

Marcia was our dog walker for two years, ending when our beloved Lux passed away. During these two years, Marcia became like family to us- we KNEW she loved Lux as much as we did, sitting with him when he could no longer walk, and visiting with him multiple times when the end was near. I have recommended Marcia to everyone I know and she will be one of the first people we call when we are ready to bring a new dog into our lives!
