Pet care experience

Calm Home and Playful Walks

I have always had dogs in my life from family dogs to favorite neighborhood dogs. After adopting our dog Rory in 2022, I came to truly understand the dedication that goes into caring for a dog and the many benefits of having such a wonderful companion. I am committed to bringing the same patience and attention to every pup I care for. I am experienced with separation anxiety and know the importance of being sure your dog feels safe and secure while you are out.

Thank you Marianne! All the updates I got were great and Layla looked happy and content. I had total peace of mind during my trip that my dog was well taken care of.

We discovered Marianne at the last minute right before a holiday trip. She was responsive, prompt, and communicative throughout. Each drop-in was well documented. Excellent experience. We will definitely rebook!

Marianne is my neighbor and a true animal lover! It’s very clear how caring and attentive she is with dogs and other pets. She has her own sweet dog named Rory who is incredibly friendly and gets along beautifully with other dogs. Rory and my dog, Layla, play well together, and I’ve always been impressed by how happy and well cared for Rory is. Marianne and her husband are often out walking her. I’m personally using Marianne’s services for my own dog while my family is in Europe this summer, which says a lot about the trust I have in her. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible dog sitter.

Marianne is a wonderful dog owner and dog friend :) Her dog Rory receives star treatment with abundant walks, treats, and love. Marianne has also cared for my dog Peaches during play dates. She is attentive to their needs, and clearly a lover of our furry companions.

Marianne is caring, considerate, and trustworthy. She grew up with dogs her entire life, and now she and her husband have their own dog together. Marianne knows that dogs are family members, and she understands that you would be entrusting a family member to her care. She will make sure your dogs are well taken care of and that all their needs are met. I can guarantee you will not regret using her services.
