Skills

Can provide daily exercise

Safety, trust & environment

I understand the importance of a calm, welcoming, and comfortable home. I will respect you and your pets' space and follow any instructions given. If a pet is staying in my home, I already have a cat so that is something to consider if your pet does not like other animals.

Information Marianne S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there is anything I need to know! I know pets can be shy with new people and am happy to adjust accordingly and simply be a comforting presence nearby rather than a cuddle buddy. I am comfortable with various special needs -- let's talk :)

A typical day

I do not have much experience with dogs, but am happy to play fetch or tug-of-war with them. Happy to take them out to a park as well. With cats, I know it's whatever their favorite toy is! String toys, yarn, or a laser pointer I'm ready for it.

Pet care experience

I am extremely active and happy to take dogs on walks or play with them, though my expertise is in cat care. I’ve spent years caring for cats of all ages and temperaments, including giving medication (oral and topical), monitoring chronic conditions, and building trust. I am clean, great at following instructions, and willing to get dirty if necessary.

Marianne did a great job caring for our cat Leroy! We got lots of updates and felt very comfortable.

Marianne is great. We have used her before and will use her again. She is able to give our cat Mittens his life saving oral medicine, which is crucial. She also plays with him and he likes her. What more could a pet owner ask for?!

Marianne was terrific. I can't recommend her enough. From the moment she entered my home in advance of her stay, Mittens walked right up to her, sniffed about and was happy. Before the first date of her assignment, she reached out to me to confirm her arrival which was reassuring and professional. Mittens takes daily oral medicine and Marianne was able to give it to him, which put my mind at ease. She sent me photos and updates while I was away and my apartment looked better than when I left it. I'll use Rover and Marianne again the next time I go away. Rover's fees were very reasonable as well.
