Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable, attentive, caring
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.
Cat care experience
Marianne also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

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.
Ratings and reviews
We just moved to the area and Marianne was wonderful keeping our minds at ease while we had to go out of town without our two cats. Marianne provided daily updates with pictures, was super responsive, and even our shy cat loved her. 10/10 will be booking with her again. We’re so grateful!!
Marianne was available on short notice and got us out of a tight spot when another sitter fell thru. She was patient with our Beau who can be loud when meeting new people and takes some time to warm up to people. She was able to connect with him in the first 20 minutes and was smooth sailing after. She was thoughtful and asked for information on how to take care of him and our senior cat Tuzo too, as well as what signs to look for that could be a health issue with him. Will gladly reach out to her when we need another sitter in our visits to LA.
Marianne is great!
Marianne took great care of our cat while we were away for a week. She sent us pictures every day! He was happy when we got home!
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?!

Schedule
Available for once-a-day drop ins or more frequent weekend visits. I am a teacher so I am pretty inflexible during school hours, but willing to work with you outside of that.
- Cats0 to 15 lbsDogs over 1 year oldMarianne can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- 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 :)
