Safety, trust & environment

I always make sure your pet feels safe and confident in their surrounding and my care. I feel that I'm very cued into how animals are feeling.

Information Marianne W. would like to know about your pet

If your pup is a runner, or reactive to other dogs off/on leash. If they have certain triggers that might make them feel scared or protective while in my care. If there are certain things that make them leap with joy!

A typical day

I love to take walks and explore new areas with my pet companions. As long as an owner is ok with it I love to take the pups to Tryon Creek, Forest Park or other local hiking areas. Playing fetch in a secured or unsecured area is another favorite activity. I always make sure I know clearly the expectations of the owner so the pup (s) are having fun and safe in my care.

Pet care experience

Hi there. I'm on my third puppy. He's a 15 week old border collie. I also loved and raised a lab and German Sheppard. I've been walking/sitting 2 very energetic labs for 4 + years. I have a sweet kitty named Cinder too. I'm a mostly at home Mom of three kids. If I did life over I'd be a vet. I'm that funny girl who has to say hi to every dog I see :)

Marianna was absolutely wonderful with our fur babies and house. She was super communicative and kind. She went above and beyond to keep the house clean and my babies happy with cuddles and walks. She updated us often and kept our minds at ease as we were traveling.

Marianne was the perfect kitten sitter for our babies. Our first trip out of town was pretty nervewracking, but Marianne was incredibly thoughtful, communicative, and eager to play and entertain them. We were very grateful to have her watch over our boys, and will def use her services again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
