Pet care experience
Reliable, Dedicated Pet Care
Hi there! I'm Marian and I'm a big animal lover with over 20 years of hands on experience caring for both cats and dogs of various ages, temperaments; from excited doggos to shy cats who take a little bit of time to warm up. Whether its daily walks, playtime, feedings, medication, or simply keeping your pets company while you're away; I treat every animal as if they were my very own with patience, respect, and compassion. Why Choose Me: Experience You Can Trust: Two decades of caring for pets in all stages of life from puppies/kittens to senior companions Multi-Pet Household Friendly: I understand the different needs and dynamics of both dogs and cats living together. This ensures each animal gets attention and care suited to them. Reliable Presence and Communication: You'll always get regular updates and photos to give you a peace of mind while you're away. Customized Care: Every pet has their own personality and routine and I make it a point to keep things consistent so your furry friend(s) feel safe and loved. ***Important Note for New Potential Clients*** I need AT LEAST 2 weeks notice for house sitting requests and 1 week notice for dog walk/drop in requests. This gives both you and I time to propose a proper meet and greet that is respectful of both your time and mine. The more advanced notice I have about a stay or visit, the more prepared I will be to care for your furry friend(s) in the way they need and deserve. I only accept dogs with low to moderate energy levels and I don’t take puppies that are unfixed and not potty trained. For my own safety I cannot accept dogs with destructive habits and behaviors that stem from high anxiety, an aggressive temperament, or poor obedience training.

Ratings and reviews
Marian was great with our dogs while we were away. She provided updates and always reached out if she wanted to ask a question specific to the dogs. They seemed very well taken care of when we got home.
Marian took such great care of my dog, which allowed me to enjoy my trip and not have to worry about anything at home. I knew he was in good hands and I loved the photos and updates! Knowing you have a reliable, responsible, and loving sitter for your beloved pets makes traveling so much less stressful.
Patricia K. Marian kept my dog in my home, day and night, for 10 days. She did a great job. Lucy was well cared for and my house was in excellent condition when we returned home. She sent us pictures and updates while we were away. We will definitely use her again.
Highly recommend Marian as your pet sitter! We usually take our pup with us on vacation but we wanted to have more freedom while we were at the beach so we decided to leave him behind. While it was a hard decision initially, it made traveling so much easier! We were able to stay at the beach longer, sleep in longer, and not have to worry about anything knowing that our beloved dog was safe and sound at home with a responsible, loving caregiver. Marian took great care of our dog just as we would have! I would highly recommend her to care for your dog or cat!
Marian loves cats. She has kept my cat Sadie several times when I went on trips and did an excellent job. Sadie seemed to remember her after the first trip and had no anxiety about staying with Marian. She is willing to listen to my suggestions about how best to care for Sadie and follow them. She has done a lot of research on cats through the years and has good knowledge about their likes, dislikes, and behavior. Give her a try, and I’m sure you will be pleased.

Schedule
My work is home based; giving me pretty frequent and flexible availability if given the proper heads up for each type of request. This also allows me a great deal of time to tend to your pet's needs and provide them with extra affection and attention.
