Active dog-loving music teacher
Pet care experience
Hello there! I am a high school music teacher and a dog lover located in Old City, Philadelphia. I have a ton of experience as a dog walker, boarder, sitter and foster mom! Hope I get to meet you and your pup(s)! During the school year, I am around to walk or drop in most days and can also dog sit for you! I am also available to board your furry friend on weekends. ***Currently I am a work-from-home teacher and I would love to help out essential workers or anyone in need of pet care.*** I grew up in Michigan with two spunky lovable mini-dachshunds. Lady was my dog and I took care of her growing up. I helped my parents train their dachshund Holly and she still lives with them out in Michigan. I have adored and respected dogs and other animals my entire life and have been a dog walker and sitter for the past 3 years. I truly adore dogs -- you might say I'm "obsessed." I am also an approved foster parent through ACCT, PSCPA, and PAWS, and have fostered a pit bull-terrier before she was adopted into her forever home! I am committed to keeping your pet safe and healthy and can provide lots of TLC, fun, training, and exercise.
Reviews
Marianne was so amazing, and our dog really loved spending the day with her! She was super communicative and gave me a bunch of updates. She was very respectful of our care guidelines and make sure to check in when there were any changes. We appreciated her care so much- will definitely continue to book with her!
Marianne was able to come by on short notice and drop-in on my cat while I was away. Communicating was quick and easy. And she was really great at following all the different guidelines I had for her regarding my building and getting into my apartment. I would definitely book another visit!
Used Marianne for dog walking and she was amazing!!
Marianne was wonderful with our pup. She took her on lots of walks, slept in the guest room so Zuza could lay next to her, and generally spoiled her. She was also flexible with drop off and pick up, and sent us tons of photos and videos!

Information Marianne G. would like to know about your pet
My previous foster from ACCT was dog aggressive and I worked with her on overcoming this as best I could. I would like to know any behavioral challenges your pup faces, especially if we should avoid other dogs in the neighborhood or your preferences about what they are allowed to do in your home (ex: sit on couches) so I can reinforce the same behavior.
A typical day
I really enjoy being active as an avid rock climber and hiker. I’d love to take your dog to one if philly’s awesome dog parks or on a long walk on the Schuylkill river trail. Of course, during this time I respect all social distancing rules and will also abide by any specific instructions from pet owners. I also live away from the hustle of Market street in Philadelphia so local long walks could be frequent as well!
