Safety, trust & environment

I am very responsible when pet sitting and I will follow all of your instructions and respect your property when caring for your pet in your home. **California state law mandates rabies vaccinations for all dogs age 4 months or older. Monterey County requires rabies vaccinations for all dogs and cats age 4 months or older. Monterey County also requires all dogs must be licensed within 30 days of ownership unless you are traveler visiting. Please make sure that you provide these documents to me before your sit begins or I will cancel the sit and will apply the Rover cancellation policy. I do not use retractable leashes for dog walking for my safety and for your pet. I do have appropriate leashes for walking if you do not have one. For overnight sits please make sure that you provide a clean and comfortable environment and for me to stay. Including a clean and dust free sleeping area, clean bathroom & clean kitchen or food prep area. I will bring my own food and towels so there is no need to provide that. I will clean up after myself and your pet during my stay, but I will not do any major housecleaning. If your home is not clean enough for me to stay I will contact Rover for other arrangements for your pet. I can also do reasonable watering of indoor and outdoor plants.

Marianne was great. I could tell my mini poodle loved her shortly after she arrived.

Schedule

I am available weekdays and weekends to provide pet sitting and dog walking. I prefer to only walk dogs during daylight hours. If you need walks before sunrise or after sunset I will do this in a case by case basis if it is safe for me and your dog. Please be aware that I am self-employed and may also have other pet check-ins, dinner-sits, or walks during day. I will not leave your pet alone for more than 4-5 hours or agreed upon hours during the day. If you do need 24 hr care I can provide that at twice my overnight rate. Advanced notice is required so that I can make arrangements to my schedule.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Marianne can host up to 6 drop-ins per day
Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or behavioral issues. I am comfortable working with senior and special needs pets. I can also work on behavioral issues with puppies and dog training. Please be aware that if your dog is aggressive to me or other animals I will notify you and Rover immediately for other arrangements.
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.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
