Safety, trust & environment

If your kitty is friendly I will engage, pet and play with him or her as well as feed and clean the litter box. I understand many cats don't like as strangers and prefer to "social distance":)

Information Marcia G. would like to know about your pet

Any medical or dietary requirements. Because of the health risks to the cat, I do not accept bookings for unaltered cats. 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.

A typical day

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.

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 made extra effort to pill our somewhat difficult cats, working out how to get the pills in them. She also gave great updates and was very reassuring about how they were doing. We'd definitely book her again!

Amazing as always! I’m so sorry they’re so shy! I promise they don’t mind you… I feel so at ease knowing they’re in such good hands. Thank you again!

Marcia took excellent care of our cat, Rosie. Rosie was being uncharacteristically standoffish, and Marcia went to extra lengths to draw her out and make sure she was doted on while we were away, even bringing her a brand new wand toy to play with 😁

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
