Cat Visits and Dog Walks

Pet care experience

Ten years experience with Fetchpet as dog walker and cat sitter. I started part time while working full time as a paralegal. Retired several years ago and now love the pet sitting to get exercise and stay in shape. I love to walk dogs and get to know them. I have experience in administering Subcutaneous fluids to cats with kidney issues and giving medications. I am a volunteer with Seattle Humane Society. I cover Ballard, Magnolia and North Seattle.

Marcia was great with Sammy! So grateful that they got to hang out and play while I was away for work.

Marcia was kind and so patient with my kitties. Played with the ones who came out to visit and was patient with the ones who were nervous. She’s a knowledgeable and experienced sitter and very clearly loves animals. She sent an update every day and the cutest pictures. I’m grateful for her help watching my cats while I was away. I trust her with my kitties and house keys!

Any medical or dietary requirements. I am experienced in administering subcutaneous fluids to cats with kidney issues. I have also given injections as well as inhalers to cats with asthma.

I love to find new places to walk and interesting smells for “sniffy” dog walks. When I visit your cat I will accommodate his needs and personality. Some cats don't like strangers and I will do my best to not upset them make sure that they are fed and cared for. For those furrballs who do you like company I will provide stimulation.
