Introduction: Over the past 20+ years, I’ve looked after dogs, small pets and livestock along the West Coast. My first job was at the age of 14 as an assistant vet tech at a small animal hospital. Over the years I’ve traveled from California to British Columbia — apprenticing on farms and working jobs inside and out of animal welfare. In the early 2000s Kite Hill Canines operated in the San Francisco Bay Area and offered dog walking, beach adventures and house sitting. For the past several years I’ve been working and volunteering in herding dog rescue. I live and travel within the Pacific Northwest with my cattle dogs, Percy & Koda.

I connected originally with Marie fifteen or so years ago when she had her own dog-walking business in San Francisco, and we've remained working together ever since! She's a real godsend. We've worked together for years and my only gripe is to lose her to the Pac Northwest! :) She still takes care of our animals here on the Mendocino Coast. She gives us peace of mind while we away, which is priceless. She is a true animal person and always has your pet's best interest in mind. She has amazing attention to detail and has been helpful over the years with other household projects. She is kind, knowledgeable, professional, punctual, and communicates promptly. Having someone you trust take care of your home and pets has been of paramount importance to us. Look no further than Marie. I cannot recommend her enough!

Great experience with Kite Hill Canines taking care of my animals and house while on vacation. Will use Marie again and enjoy the pics she sends along with regular updates on how they are when I'm away.

Marie is great! She did an exceptional job watching our three large dogs. Our pups looked so relaxed in the photo updates Marie sent along.
