Pet care experience
I’ve been an animal lover since I can remember. My first dog was a labrador when I was only 3 y/o, we then had 3 yorkies and now that I’m living here in NY I have a beautiful and goofy great dane. In 2018, I was an aupair and I was lucky enough to be with a family that owned two cats. That was when I realized how special and incredible cats really are. I then worked at a veterinary clinic bathing and grooming dogs in 2019. Now, I’ve had the opportunity to walk and take care of multiple dogs and cats for more than 5 years. From walking a great dane or pitbull to a poodle or chihuahua, we always have a good time. I’ve also been able to take care of multiple beautiful cats that have been nice enough to share their space with me and have allowed me to be their friend. I always make sure to give every pet the attention and care that they need to be stimulated and happy while their parents are away.
Reviews
Marion is a fantastic cat watcher. In addition to providing lots of petting and playing for our kitty, she took great care of him. She did everything we asked and was extremely communicative about everything that happened over the week we were away. She left the food/water/litter areas perfectly clean. I would definitely book Marion again and highly recommend her.
Attentive and caring and responsible. Just what you want in a sitter!
Marion did a fantastic job taking care of my cat, Kiki! While on a week long vacation, Marion dropped by each day, and gave me plenty of updates, photos, and videos of Kiki. He absolutely adored her, and I would recommend her to any cat owner!
Marion went above and beyond as a cat sitter over Christmas! Not only did she provide daily updates, pics and videos of our cat, she also, with permission, brought her treats and really made an effort to bond. We will definitely be asking her to cat sit again! Thank you, Marion!

Safety, trust & environment
I try to pet, take care and play with the pets as much as I can and as much as they want/allow me to. I know they must miss their humans while they’re gone so I want to make those moments together a little more significant. With prior permission from you and if needed, I will bring treats to the first visit so that your pet familiarizes more with me. I always make sure they have fresh water, food and that they’ve gone to pee and poop (or that the litter box is clean) from the beginning of the visit so that I can have time to bond with them. I also make sure everything is tidy and ready for them before I leave the house. I will be in constant communication with you and will provide multiple pictures/videos to let you know your pet is engaged and happy.
Information Marion J. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors I can account for. Both dogs and cats have their triggers and that’s completely normal! Knowing things like these will help me understand a bit more how to treat them or how they will react in specific situations.
A typical day
I enjoy going to the park and letting them sniff and know their surroundings, always keeping them near and attentive. I also love taking them to dog parks (mostly when there are 1 to no dogs) so they can run free and we can play together. If we're going to be in your home, I will try to engage with your pup as much as possible with games and lots of pets. If you have a cat, I will also make sure they're engaged in any way they let me. They will both receive plenty love and snuggles!
