Marianne stayed at our home and took care of our two dogs for about three weeks while we were out of the country. One pup was a senior and the other a puppy, at about 15.5 years old and 1 year old, respectively. The senior pup was struggling with vision and hearing loss and early dementia symptoms at this time. With ease, Marianne was able to manage the senior dog's complicated and strict medication schedule, which included multiple doses a day, while also caring for an energetic puppy. She made sure she had all of the necessary information to properly care for and love our pups, including veterinarian information, emergency contacts, feeding/med/exercise schedule. She even worked on their commands and training while spending time with them. Oh, and she sent us periodic updates and photos, which was a nice perk! In addition to taking amazing care of our dogs, she kept our home tidy and the yard free of pet waste. When we got home our house seemed nicer than when we left it! We had our mail held and she managed the other necessary weekly house chores (getting the bins to the curb on the proper day, etc). Marianne is a fantastic person to care for pets long- or short- term. I think our dogs missed her after she left! We will be using her services again, if she is available, that is! From what I hear, she is also exceptional at caring for cats and has experience with birds and horses as well. She mentioned she has always had cats as companions and loves spending time with all animals. Thanks for caring for our lil' creatures Marianne!
