Pet care experience
Hi, I’m a lifelong pet owner with 30+ years of hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I currently share my home with eight rescue dogs, giving me daily experience with a wide variety of ages, behaviors, and care needs. I have experience with rescue pets, senior pets, shy pets, multi-pet households, and I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. As a longtime rescue supporter and volunteer, I care for every pet like family and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I provide photo and video updates so you can feel connected and re-assured while you’re away.

Reviews
I can't say enough good things about my fine friend Marianne Bunting! I have known her for over forty five years and she is as good as they come. An amazing love for animals...especially dogs. She is kind and always thinks of others. Very vibrant positive individual.


Marianne is great! She did daily drop-in visits with our dog and cat for the last several days, and was kind enough to come and meet them both first. Our dog, who is very skittish with new people, warmed up to Marianne so quickly. She sent us photos and videos from each visit. I knew my girls were in good hands!
Your pet would LOVE to have Marianne take care of them! As a child, she grew up with multiple pets (dogs, cats, rabbits, ducks, hamsters, gerbils, fish, etc.) and as an adult, she continues to care for her own crew and volunteers at a local shelter. She will care for your pet(s) as if they were her own, and her own are very spoiled and loved. She is great at managing feeding, walk, potty schedules so you can be assured your pet will be in the best hands and she will be respectful of your home. I highly recommend her and promise you won't be disappointed.
I have known Mariane for years. There are very few people I would trust with the care of my beloved pets. She ranks up there right at the top. She has a love for animals she exhibits in so many ways. From volunteering at a local animal shelter, advocating online for homeless pets, taking in a hospice pet herself (even though she thought she was full), and more. It seems Marianne's hart always has more to give. The care she provides for her pack is stellar, she is as meticulous as she is loving. The only issue you ask.. well, your pet might be so spoiled when you get them back that they miss her and her pack!
