Hi there! I’m Marika — a lifelong animal lover who has been surrounded by pets for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Over the years I’ve had cats, birds, lizards, a mouse, and even a hedgehog — and of course, plenty of dogs!

My partner Pieter and I share our home with our sweet rescue dog, Sophie, an 8-year-old Pekingese–Pomeranian cross who has been part of our family for 6 years. She’s gentle, friendly, and loves having company.

I’ve been pet sitting for 5 years, caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I understand how important it is for animals to feel safe, comfortable, and loved when their owners are away, and I always treat every pet like part of my own family.

I offer pet care services after work on Fridays, on weekends, and during holidays. Pieter is often available to help with walks, playtime, or cuddles, so your pet will always get plenty of attention. Our home is secure and dog-friendly, with a fully fenced yard, shaded areas, and cozy indoor spaces for rest and relaxation. We’re also close to lovely local parks for fun walks and adventures.

If you’re looking for a caring, reliable pair to look after your pet, we’d love to meet you and your furry friend!
