Your Pet's Home Away From Home

Pet care experience

I've taken care of dogs and cats alike since a young age. I started taking care of more dogs when I was in high school as my side job. I took care of my then neighbor's dog frequently since he was away from home for work. I would go feed his pet and walk early in the morning. She was a senior pet so I took extra care and was gentle and patient with her. I became more responsible for my household pets as well as my family member's pets. I've always had a special place for furry friends in my heart :)

Marilin demonstrates exceptional care to my two beloved kittens. She ensures that their fed in the morning and at night and maintains a clean litter box for their comfort. Beyond her duties as a pet sitter, she actively engages with them in playful interactions and occasionally takes them outdoors to enjoy fresh air.

I can’t express enough gratitude for Marilin’s care and attention towards my beloved cat. From the moment she steeped into our home, her warmth and gentleness was evident. She took the time to understand my cats needs and provided a stress free environment. Marilin is a sweet and genuine person and I cannot hesitate enough to recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their furry pets.

Currently, I am working part-time for a couple of hours in the morning. I then have the rest of my afternoon free to do whatever I desire. I would like to fill that time doing something productive like bonding and taking care of someone's furry pet.
