Experienced Care For All Animals

Hi! I'm Marion and I am an animal lover of ALL kinds! I know how hard it is to leave your furry family members behind, and I'd love to help ease your mind by providing any and all services you need. Your pet will receive my complete attention and we will enjoy each other's company! I have 25+ years of experience with ALL kinds of animals, from chickens to rabbits and bearded dragons to tarantulas... and of course dogs and cats. I love them all! I worked at Petsmart with the small animals/aquatics in my twenties and I was a volunteer & foster mom for several animal rescues in Maryland before moving to the Pacific Northwest. Now in my 40's, I am a stay-at-home mom for my autistic 5-year old. I also spent 16 beautiful years with my own furry child, Charlie. He was an Australian Shepherd I raised and trained from 4 months old. He was 16 years old when I had to make the difficult decision to put him to rest. I have personal experience working with elderly and deaf dogs & cats and I am comfortable administering medications. I have also had experience training puppies and I understand the time, patience, and attention they require. I am also happy to care for your small animals, whether that includes feeding the fish, providing some playtime for your small rodent, or feeding crickets to your gecko. I'd love to meet you and your pet family members. I always like to schedule a meet & greet with you and your pet before booking to help your pet transition to a new face (and scent!). Just send me a message!

Safety, trust & environment

I am safe, responsible, and trustworthy! I have a very calm demeanor around animals and I am patient. I am willing to follow all your pet routines and continue any training methods you currently are using. I will also care for your pet in whatever environment you are most comfortable.

Marion was so attentive with our two pups! Her help allowed us to escape to North Cascades for the day and we were so happy knowing they were well taken care of. Highly recommend her to anyone in the area looking for dog sitting!

Marion did 2 walks for us. She treats our dogs great and did an awesome job of handling their special needs (reactivity and high-fear). We will definitely be using her as a walker and sitter in the future.

Marion was very responsive, competent, and reliable! I had a great experience hiring her to walk my dog while on vacation visiting Mt. Baker. I only reached out a few days ahead, but she was flexible and very easy to communicate with. I would definitely hire her again!

Marion did a wonderful job. She was responsive and it is clear she really does care about the cats and enjoys her job as sitter as well as seeing it as an important responsibility. I will definitely ask for her services again.
