About Marwa

Hello I'm Marwa, but you can call me Mars! I've always had pets my whole life, I love all animals but I'm definitely a cat person 🐱 I can watch cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, hamsters and other small animals, some fish, and birds (currently unavailable to watch reptiles and snakes although I love both!)

I have two wonderful cats named Allan and Artemis who I adore immensely. Before them, I had Biscuit my Siamese boy for 15 years (my little soulmate) and Patrick my chinchilla who was 16, but I was lucky to have him in my life for 6 of those years (my little buddy!). 

I worked in the pet industry for 3 years, 2 of those as a store manager with Pet Valu. I have experience in caring for anything from a gaggle of kittens to a guinea pigs! I'm passionate about pet care and I even used to facilitate pet adoption events when I was working there. I currently work at Pearson Airport full time so my hours are all over the map, but I can move my schedule around on a weekly basis. I just got married to my husband in Sept 2023 so we are saving up to go in a honeymoon in 2024! Watching your adorable furbabies while making some extra savings for our honeymoon is a huge bonus.

With my experience, I am most comfortable with cats, small dogs, and small animals.

We live in a quiet and relaxing household which would make for an excellent vacation for your pets while you are away! For dogs (and cats who enjoy walks) we have a spacious yard to play in. During a stay with us you can expect 2-3 walks a day, and play time in the yard. We can set up a complimentary home visit with your pet to come see our space and how everyone gets along before booking. There is always someone home (myself or my husband, Stephen) to take care of your loved one so they will be in good hands with us 😊

We are a small private pet service, while your pet is at our home we will treat them as part of the family! We only accept 1 pet for boarding at a time (unless they are from the same household). Long terms stays of 2+ weeks may be subject to an extra fee. I have LIMITED availability for the winter, even if the dates are blocked off feel free to inquire.

I'm located in North Etobicoke near the 407 so I am available for bookings in the west end, Mimico, some parts of Woodbridge, and the area surrounding Pearson Airport.

I am fully vaccinated, if you prefer that I wear a mask while in your home I am completely comfortable with that. 

Don't hesitate to message me with any questions! I would love to watch your furbabies

So glad I found Marwa! This was my first time leaving my 6 year old Chihuahua and I was super nervous. Thanks to Marwa’s daily updates and photos I was able to enjoy my vacation at ease knowing Reggie was in such wonderful care with her. She was kind, caring and attentive to Reggie and his needs. Marwa went out of her way to make sure that Reggie was comfortable during his stay. I would 100% recommend Marwa and use her services again in the future.

I reached out to Mars last minute and she was just amazing and agreed to take care of my rabbit Marble for 2 days. Each time she went to visit Marble, she would send me pictures and videos of him. I trusted her right away and I am so happy that I found her. I will definitely reach out to her in the future again!
