“I moved to the area recently and was looking for a new kitty sitter. Marianne is phenomenal. I will definitely be using Marianne going forward. She wrote thorough notes on how my kitties were doing for each visit along with pictures and videos. I have full trust in Marianne taking care of my kitties and respecting my home. She even took out our recycling for us. You can tell she is an animal lover and so thoughtful.”

About: I have experience with dogs of all sizes and love giving them the attention, playtime, and care they need. I’m great with puppies, follow care instructions closely, and always treat pets like family. I’m currently in between jobs and have a very open, flexible schedule. I’m looking for something meaningful to fill my time and what better way than spending it with dogs!

Whether I’m in my home or yours, I make sure pets are always in a safe, clean, and calm environment. I follow all care instructions closely, keep a close eye on them during walks or playtime, and make sure they feel comfortable and loved.

“Exceptional sitter. Andrea is what you want in a pet sitter. She is communicative, prompt, and professional, and great with dogs! We have a senior dog who barks at new people and usually doesn’t want to get near them. Andrea knew how to let her get used to her and Pretzely warmed up to her quickly. Andrea also administered medicine and watched our younger crazy puppy. We feel relieved and grateful we found her!”

“Dawn is amazing! Our formal introduction was at a local coffee shop and it was immediate she was PURRFECT to take care of my not-to-social indoor cat. We passed by my house to introduce her to Tuxie (my cat) and I was surprised Tuxie responded to Dawn. While I was away, Dawn sent me pictures, which makes me at ease. Highly recommend and I’ve already booked her again! ???”


“Robin did a fantastic job! She kept our cats happy and well cared for while we were away. She's reliable, responsive, and stays connected with lots of updates, which gave us real peace of mind.
