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 your loved ones 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 to sugar gliders and bearded dragons to tarantulas... and of course dogs and cats. I love them all! I have had pets for as long as I can remember. 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 California, and now Washington! Now at 40, I am a stay-at-home mom for my autistic 3-year old. I also go out to shop for Instacart some evenings and on weekends. We currently have a pet Syrian hamster. I also spent 16 beautiful years with my own furry child, Charlie. He was an Australian Shepherd I personally raised and trained since he was 4 months old. He was 16 years old when I had to make the difficult decision to put him to rest; He lost his hearing and suffered from painful arthritic issues and liver problems. 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 enjoy being active and I can provide any length of exercise your pets need. I am also happy to care for your small animals, whether that includes feeding the fish, providing some playtime for your small rodent, or giving 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!
