Highlights
Pet care experience
Lifelong pet lover here to help
Hello! I'm a 38-year-old lifelong pet enthusiast with hands-on experience caring for everything from brand-new puppies and senior rescues to independent felines. These days, I share my life with a wonderful Great Dane—so if you have a large breed, I'm already a pro at handling them! I truly adore pets of all shapes and sizes, though, and I'm just as happy cozying up with a purring cat as I am walking a big dog. Whether you need a reliable daily dog walker, someone to drop in for kitty cuddles and potty breaks, or a trustworthy house sitter while you travel, I’ve got you covered. My goal is to give you total peace of mind while making sure your furry best friends are safe, happy, and well cared for.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety and peace of mind are my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I am extremely respectful of your space, always double-checking that doors are locked, gates are closed, and the home is exactly as you left it. On walks, I am highly vigilant of our surroundings and ensure collars and harnesses are secure. As a Great Dane owner, I'm confident handling strong pullers and unexpected situations. I also believe in excellent communication, so you can always expect detailed updates and plenty of photos!
Ratings and reviews
I cannot recommend Marian highly enough. He has a calm and gentle manner and amazing rapport with animals. My collie Button took to him immediately and had a lovely time in Trent Park while I took my mum to visit the new museum . Marian ‘s communication was excellent, he was very amenable and inspired confidence from the start. Unfortunately I don’t live locally but would definitely book him again if back in the area. Button would love to see him and I could totally relax confident in the knowledge she was being well looked after.
Marian was fantastic looking after my two Maine Coons while I was away. He took excellent care of them and sent me daily updates, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and well looked after. I came home to two very content cats! I’d happily recommend Marian to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and attentive pet sitter, and I would definitely book him again. 😊
Marian has a lovely rapport with our dog and is very calm . Able to issue medication. In the right circumstance we would use in the future.
Great house/dog sitter. Came back to a very happy Bow and house was left clean and tidy 🙂
Marian looked after my 2 dogs whilst we went out to the theatre. He was lovely and friendly with them, even my terrier who ignores most people made a fuss of him. When we returned home they were very relaxed which was great. Marian even checked in that all was OK with them on our return. I shall certainly ask him to look after them again.
Marian was excellent, we can highly recommend. Great feedback and communication, dog happy and well cared for, as was the house. He even watered the plants, very kind, would definitely book again. Thank you Marian

Schedule
Because I work night shifts, I have fantastic daytime and weekend availability to care for your pets! Monday through Thursday, I am available from midday until 8:00 PM. On Fridays and Saturdays, my schedule is completely open, so I am available all day. On Sundays, I can cover visits and walks from early in the morning up until 8:00 PM. This routine makes me a great fit for lunchtime drop-ins, afternoon walks, and dedicated weekend house sitting.
