Pet care experience

Furry Pop-Ins : The Pet Nanny 🐶

I'm 31 years old and I live in Naperville! I've always loved animals so much, I worked at a pet store for 2 years, as well as volunteered at shelters & have been a long time Wag walker. During my time at the pet store I was a sales associate and I was in charge of taking care of all the animals, as well as assisting customers with questions. I have had many pets of my own, including dogs, guinea pigs, reptiles, birds and fish. I have cared for sick dogs, I had a black lab mix and I rescued her when she was only 2 months old. When she was 5 she was diagnosed with Addison's disease and I took care of her for 6 years until the disease took over her body. My current dog I have is a German Shepard mix and she is a disabled dog. I rescued her at 2 years old and she is now 13, she only has 3 legs and she's amazing. At first she was very shy and afraid of everything, including people and other dogs. She now loves people and loves other animals. I have experience with senior dogs, disabled dogs, sick dogs and even puppies. I've cared for many dogs in my lifetime, I'd love to help you with yours!

Highly recommend Marianne for your pet care and needs! She did such a wonderful job with my 2 large dogs and house sitting while I was gone for a night. She kept me updated throughout the day, sent pics, and took them for a few walks in the cold weather! Thank you, Marianne!

We left our pup Bodie to stay with Marianne for a night! She was such a pleasure to work with. She took great care of our little guy and kept us informed of how Bodie was doing frequently while he was staying with her. Her dog Callie was so sweet and friendly to our energetic and sometimes anxious puppy! Marianne is great and if you’re ever in need of a dog sitter, I highly recommend her!

Marianne was beyond amazing with my pup, Max! Any time I need someone reliable and understanding, and who loves animals as much as I do I always reach out to her! Max is always excited any time he sees Marianne will be watching him! She takes him on long walks, plays with him, even sends pictures and updates on everything that happens! I would highly recommend her to watch your pet! :)

Marianne is awesome!! I think she honestly cares more about dogs than people! I can always trust her with my pups and she takes wonderful care of her 3 legged girl. She is definitely someone you would want to take care of other people’s dogs!

Schedule

I am a part time server so it’s very easy to fit pet care into my schedule! I mostly work late nights so I’m always free morning, afternoon and early evening. When I am working at night, my shifts are typically 5-6 hours.

Safety, trust & environment

I have pet sit many times and I am very respectful when caring for another persons pet in their home. Whether they require overnight stay or not, I am always ontop of it. Whatever the owner expects from a sitter, I will do. I will always assure your pet will get the best care & you will get plenty of updates!

Pets

A typical day

I wake up around 7am, so I love to get a nice long walk first thing in the morning, that gets a lot of energy out for dogs! Then breakfast time. I can assure your pet will get so much attention from me. There will be an afternoon / mid day walk or potty break, whatever is preferred! Then another walk at dinner time, then dinner. Finally one last potty break before bed time!

I don’t have any preferences in breeds, I will watch any dog, any size. Just let me know ahead of time if there is anything I need to know, behavior issues, dietary needs, special needs, etc just so I am aware of what I need to do.
